Spags bagged Flajole...um... flajoled

Film at 11, I'm sure.

New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton wasted no time making sweeping changes on his third day back on the job as he has fired defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and defensive backs coach Ken Flajole.

"I personally want to thank Steve and Ken for their contributions during what was an unprecedented 2012 season," Payton said in a statement. "Philosophically we are changing our defense to a 3-4 alignment and right now is the best time to accomplish this transition."

Because he's talking about where he wants the scheme to go, I can't help but think that Payton already knows who he's going to hire.  No idea who that is, but he's got someone on the phone, I think.  Twitter people suggest Raheem Morris or maybe Romeo Crennel.
