Ditka Fired By Saints After 3-13 Season
Mike Ditka was fired as New Orleans Saints coach after three straight losing seasons that left the club 3-13, tying the franchise’s second-worst record. Ditka, 60, said he would never coach again and reflected on trading for Ricky Williams as a misguided attempt to spark a return to the Super Bowl era. He endured a 15-33 Saints mark and a league leading 14-game road losing streak, with Williams rushing for 884 yards and two TDs in 1999.
