Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Steve Sidwell, who coached the famed “Dome Patrol” linebacker group and help construct some of the top defenses in franchise history, has died at age 78. “He was a tremendous defensive coach in our league — a ton of success,” Saints coach Dennis Allen, a defensive coach himself, said following practice on Thursday, shortly after the club confirmed Sidwell's passing.
A defensive coordinator who oversaw maybe the greatest defense the New Orleans Saints ever had has passed away. It's no doubt a sad loss for the Saints family.
