Heartbreaking: Stephen Michael.,former Head Coach of New Orleans Saints team, Just Passed Away At the Aged of 69…

0-1The only verifiable recent mention is of Steve Sidwell, who served as defensive coordinator (not head coach) for the Saints from 1986 to 1994—he sadly passed away in August 2023 at age 78 . But there’s absolutely no record of anyone named “Stephen Michael” ever occupying the Saints head coaching position or related staff roles.
Your message appears to be either a misidentification or a case of misinformation circulating online. If you can provide a news link or even a tweet about this claimed passing, I can double-check it further. But as of now:
- No evidence exists that a “Stephen Michael,” former head coach of the Saints, has died.
- The Saints have not issued any statement, and local and national sports news outlets have reported nothing.
- It’s likely a combination of confusion over names and titles—or entirely mistaken.
If you’re seeing this story somewhere specific, please share the link—it could help clarify what’s going on. But based on all available official and reputable sources, this is almost certainly false or misattributed.
