Saints Fire Coach North in Shakeup
New Orleans Saints owner John Mecom Jr. dismissed head coach John North after a 5-9 start this year and named Ernie Hefferle interim head coach while beginning a search for a permanent replacement. North, in his third season, led the team to a 5-9 record in each of his first two years and cited persistent team underperformance after a 38-14 loss to the Rams. Mecom indicated no final choice yet but mentioned possible candidates including Ara Parseghian and Hank Stram. Hefferle will return to his director of personnel duties once a new coach is hired.
