Steve Spagnuolo is excited to begin his time with the Saints. He was hired as the team's defensive coordinator shortly after he was fired as the head coach of the Rams. Spagnuolo does not try to hide the fact that he very much desires another shot at being a head coach. "Yeah, there's a burn there, I'm not going to lie to you," he said. "I think the professional thing to do in this situation is you concentrate all your efforts and all your focus on the job that you have right now. "I feel lucky I have this job. In this business, you fight every day to keep the job that you have. Now, should the good Lord put another opportunity in front of me to be a head coach, I'm jumping at it, I'm going to run with it. I know that I'll be better having gone through it. "I think I'm a better football coach. I know if given the opportunity again, which I hope happens, I will be a 10-times-better head coach because sometimes you learn more from your failures than you do from your success."
