The New Orleans Saints will have an interim coach for the 2012 season, but it is unlikely that Bill Parcells will take the position.
According to ESPN, Parcells will probably stay retired rather than take over for the suspended Sean Payton.
Payton’s year-long suspension for his role in the Saints’ bounty program goes into effect on April 16. The NFL on Monday upheld the penalty for Payton, as well as the eight-game ban for general manager Mickey Loomis and the six-game suspension for assistant head coach Joe Vitt.
Loomis and Vitt will begin their suspensions at the conclusion of the preseason this summer. Despite the impending six-game ban, Vitt has been rumored to be among the candidates for interim head coach.
