Saints Balking at Carmichael Talking to Fins

Looks like the Saints are not going to allow current QB coach Pete Carmichael to talk to the Dolphins about their open offensive coordinator job.  ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that the Dolphins have asked to speak with Carmichael, but it looks like the Saints are not going to let it happen.  The rumor says that Saints coach Sean Payton is fine with Carmichael leaving if he wants, but GM Mickey Loomis wants the coordinator to stay and is not allowing him to leave.  QB Drew Brees, who has worked with Pete since 02, is also a fan of the QB coordinator, and wants him to stay.
