New Orleans Saints
 PROFILE
These Saints hope to go marching into an NFL championship. Founded on All Saints' Day in 1966, the New Orleans Saints football team won its first-ever playoff game at the end of the 2000 season under the leadership of head coach Jim Haslett. A former assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Haslett took over in 2000 after the brief but tumultuous reign of former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka. The team is pushing for public financing to build a new stadium or to renovate the aging Superdome. Owner Tom Benson, who built an auto dealership empire, bought the team in 1985 from original owner John Mecom.
