As far as what happens next, if I'm the Saints I get Pederson on the horn ASAP.  Can you imagine if we end up with Baalke and Bisacia (or whatever his name is).  What a complete and utter epic disaster of a coaching hire process this will be.  Maybe by some sheer magical luck this would work out but it would only be in spite of this horrible process.
