New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton retired after the 2021 season, leading the team to hire Dennis Allen as its new head coach.
Now, Allen is filling out his staff, and per a report this week, he’s considering a former Alabama assistant.
Doug Marrone, who has NFL head coaching experience, is reportedly in the mix to join Allen’s staff (via NOLA.com):
Doug Marrone, the former head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville, and John Morton, the former offensive coordinator of the New York Jets, are being considered as additions to Allen’s staff, according to sources.
Marrone served as Alabama’s offensive line coach in 2021. The Tide recently hired Eric Wolford to fill that role for the 2022 season.
We’ll see if Marrone ends up back in the pro ranks this coming fall.
