The DetroitSportsRag has learned from sources inside the Michigan Athletic Department that the mystery head coaching candidate to replace Brady Hoke is current New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton.

Sources are telling the DSR that the Super Bowl winning coach is “really interested” in the vacancy in Ann Arbor and that Athletic Director Jim Hackett has had several conversations with Payton over recent days. We are being told that this isn’t just smoke and that Hackett and Payton have had “extensive contact.”

There has been speculation that Hackett spent Thursday in New Orleans but we have not been able to confirm that rumor as of yet. What we do know is there is interest on both sides.

Stay tuned …….
