Given the recent success of Sean Payton’s new book Home Team: Coaching the Saints and New Orleans Back to Life, as well as Drew Brees’s writing debut Coming Back Stronger, Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity, it should come as no surprise that other football players and coaches would make similar attempts.
After exhaustive research, we here at Who Dat Dish may or may not* have discovered the complete and undocumented list of other books being written by current and former Saints personnel. We are prepared to announce them here today.
Without further ado:

The DaVictory Code by Bill Belichick
While he is not in any way related to the Saints, Bill Belichick is nevertheless looking to follow in Sean Payton’s footsteps by writing his own semi-autobiographical novel. In this story, a famous symbologist is hired to uncover the mystery of “What the Next Play Will Be” by studying codes from the opposing team’s sidelines. Through the process, he uncovers a vast conspiracy that reaches up to the highest rungs of the NFL, and discovers the lengths they will go to in order to cover up the truth. Tom Hanks is not available for the movie version, so Nicolas Cage will do a second-rate version of Tom Hank’s performance instead.
