| 13th January, 2006 - 8:31 pm |  AP - The New Orleans Saints finished a two-day interview with former Packers coach Mike Sherman on Friday, then began two days of interviews with former Rams coach Mike Martz.
Sherman is familiar with New Orleans from two years (1983-84) as offensive line coach at Tulane -- part of 16 years spent as a college assistant before becoming the Packers' tight ends-assistant offensive line coach in 1997.
"That was my first big job and I know people down here," Sherman said. "When I was a college coach for a number of years, I used to recruit Louisiana. I know the type of people that live here, good people. I find it to be a very attractive job."
Sherman was fired this month after Green Bay finished 4-12, its only losing record in six seasons under him. Overall, he was 57-39 and took the Packers to the playoffs each year from 2001-04, the last three as NFC North champions. He went 2-4 in the postseason. [READ] |
