News: The New Orleans Saints have fired Rick Mueller, the team's vice president of player personnel, according to CBSsportsline.com. Mueller was with the Saints for the past eight seasons and was a big part of the the Saints giant turnaround in 2006. According to CBS, Mickey Loomis will now have the team's director of college scouting (Rick Reiprish) and the director of pro scouting (Ryan Pace) reporting directly to him.WhoDatSay: The Saints did something similar to Randy Mueller (Rick's brother) several years ago. However, we can't imagine why Loomis would get rid of a man who was given so much credit for putting together the 2006 draft class that included Reggie Bush, Roman Harper, Jahri Evans, and seventh-round steal, Marques Colston. On the other hand, he followed that class up with a less-than-stellar 2007 draft haul. No reason was given for the untimely firing, and at this time the team has no plans to repace their V.P. of player personnel.
