It was reported Monday afternoon that LSU was finalizing a deal to make New Orleans Saints defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen the Tigers' new defensive coordinator, as stated by NFL reporter Jane Slater.

Later on Monday evening, Slater tweeted that the potential hiring hit a snag by the Saints not signing off on the move.

Sean Payton is a sore loser. When Brady left, he was very cold when answering any questions about him, as if Brady had "betrayed" him. As if he expected Brady to not try to advance his career. Now, he and Loomis don't want to let Nielsen go. I get not WANTING him to go, but how are going going to block a guy from taking the next step in his career? Would he have liked it if the Cowboys didn't let him leave to take the Saints job? What a pitiful hypocrite. And he expects Nielsen to respect him after this?

This isn’t a Payton issue. It’s with Loomis

Metaloctopus•40 months

Loomis balances the checkbook, friend (though not very well). Payton is in charge of his staff. If Payton gave his blessing, this would be over. Period.

You are a fricking moron to say Loomis does not balance the checkbook very well. You could not be further from the truth. He has been amazing juggling contracts and salary caps. Try and know what you are talking about before posting on here and embarrassing yourself.

It’s not over, but we will likely have to pay even more for him to come.

Cash or check

Bend the knee and give Tom Brady the game Drew. 4 division championships = 0 Retire now is the time. Now Nielsen will have bad blood if he stays.

Saints pissed because Fournett and White made them quit

The Mayor of New Orleans is ready to stomp Payton in a grudge match if he stops this hire .

FACK the mayor of New Orleans!

Saints can frick right off.

ibldprplgld•40 months

This is a really bad look on the Saints. I can't imagine coaches will be lining up to work for the organization if they're going to be kept from furthering their career because someone else with the organization is so petty.

This will not help the Saints hate LSU argument.

You need to get a new phrase. That and silly bs like “he gone” is lame. Like you.

ElderTiger•40 months

The Saints have been playing Louisiana like a fiddle for too long.

rob62•40 months

Agree 100%. I have never forgiven the Saints for shaking Louisiana down after the disaster of Katrina. The hell with the Saints.

gerkin•40 months

Who with the saints is likely the most problematic with this? Loomis?

Domeskeller•40 months

Uh, no. This has Sean Payton's hands all over it.

rob62•40 months

Loomis is doing what Payton wants to do. After Joe Brady making Sean Payton look stupid Payton is not wanting yet another Saints assistant to go to LSU and be a success.

LSUnKaty•40 months

What are they going to do to him if he leaves?

LSUtwolves•40 months

Sue him and prevent him from working elsewhere. Same as a noncompete clause, but I guess you don’t run into that in your line of work??

Tiger1944•40 months

Not a lawyer, but noncompete clauses are very difficult to enforce in Louisiana. The area is specific as to Parish or Parishes and cannot be like "the state of Louisiana." Also, it is presumed that everyone has a right to practice his or her profession.

Mostly likely, Saints DC will take a HC job this year or next. He will be next Saints DC.
