This year, the Coaching Carousel kicked off a little early with the firing of Miami HC Philbin & DC Coyle.
Now, apparently they're making inquiries to NO for Payton, who still has 2 years left but may be facing a rebuild year. (There's also a rumor of Brees getting traded, even with the humongous cap figures in 2016).

Hottest incumbent seat right now has to be Lions HC Jim Caldwell, followed by 49ers HC Jim Tomsula (can't see BoB not getting another year, so he's fairly low in my list).

Payton's name has come up in speculation about other jobs over the past year because he has been in New Orleans for 10 years, and the Saints appear to be in a rebuilding mode after overhauling half of their roster.
Payton has ties to current Dolphins interim coach Dan Campbell, who was promoted Monday when Miami fired Joe Philbin. Campbell played at tight end for the Cowboys when Payton was Dallas' offensive coordinator and ended his playing career under Payton in New Orleans.
