NFL Betting Odds: New Orleans Saints Head Coach

“We’re gonna look in-house and outside,” Saints owner Gayle Benson said during Payton’s farewell presser, “and I think we’re gonna do a great job in choosing another person that’s gonna be able to lead us the way that Sean did.”

The obvious choice to be Payton’s heir apparent would-be Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who has served that role since 2015 and has previous head-coaching experience. However, Allen struggled mightily in his three seasons as the head coach of the Raiders, going 8-28 from 2012-14.

The NFL betting community has Allen as the current favorite to take over at +150 on DraftKings.

While Dennis Allen appears to be the clear leader in the clubhouse to take over as the head coach of the Saints, it is far from a sure thing.

Who Will Be the Next Saints Head Coach?

For now, Allen appears to be the safest bet to take over for Payton. But the Saints are definitely keeping their options open as they enter their first head coaching search in nearly two decades.

Two names to keep in mind are Aaron Glenn and Eric Bieniemy. Both are currently not finalists for any of the other teams looking for a new coach. And if the Saints brass chooses to go with an outsider, either could prove to be diamonds in the rough. It is important to note that Payton was a first-time head coach when the Saints hired him 15 years ago, meaning they might not be scared away from hiring an assistant around the league who is a little less proven.

Right now, though, the Saints organization and their future is hard to sell to any prospective candidate. After Drew Brees retired following the 2020 season, Payton was left with the revolving door of Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, Trevor Siemian and rookie Ian Book at quarterback. And although they fought hard to notch a 9-8 record, the future cap space situation will prove to be a huge obstacle for general manager Mickey Loomis going forward.

Whoever ends up getting the nod to replace Payton might have to face the tough reality that the Saints are heading towards a rebuild for the immediate future.
