01:08 PM ET 02.06 | The New Orleans Saints hiring Rob Ryan to be their defensive coordinator is "basically a done deal," according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The rumors have been floating for days that the Saints were planning on bringing in Ryan. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported around 9 p.m. ET Tuesday that the Saints planned to hire the former defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. Just last night, Saints officials said a hire hadn't been made. Georgia Bulldogs defensive coordinator Todd Grantham was also in the running for the Saints' defensive coordinator job.

Dallas had a lot of talent on defense, and Ryan couldn't make it work to the extent the Cowboys thought he should. New Orleans doesn't have the talent Dallas had, so... the Saints can only pray for pretty much the same as last year.
