Saints Gab

From: ProFootballWeekly

We hear Saints QB coach Pete Carmichael Jr. is likely to be named offensive coordinator after the season, replacing Doug Marrone, who left the club after Week 15 to take over as Syracuse’s head coach. Carmichael will be rewarded after passing up opportunities to become the Dolphins’ O-coordinator on two separate occasions. Head coach Sean Payton will still be New Orleans’ chief play-caller, however.

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.
