Coach Loses Job On Cutdown Day
New Orleans Saints owner John Mecom Jr. fired head coach J. D. Roberts on cutdown day, replacing him with offensive coordinator John North. Roberts, 40, had led the expansion team since mid 1970, finishing 2-11-1 in 1972 and 4-8-2 in 1971, with preseason losses in 1973. North, 51, previously coached at LSU and Detroit, joins to reshape the club as rosters slim to 49. Several players were cut or traded across NFL teams on the same day as teams reduced rosters.
