The Saints aren't rushing to replace Sean Payton, who has been suspended for the 2012 season. Bill Parcells hasn't been officially offered the position, but New Orleans has been flirting with him. However, that didn't stop former NFL coach Herm Edwards from lambasting the Saints in light of the Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate for head-coaching positions. "It makes it a little bit of a scam now," Edwards said. "That's the shame of it all. Sean Payton opening his mouth like he did, he really reflects that this thing is going to become a sham if Bill Parcells takes this job. Because if you do decide to interview a minority, you're going to go with Bill Parcells. You've already said, 'This is our coach.' That's the shame of it all. It puts (NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell) in another bind."
