Author names whistleblower in bounty scandal
Mike Cerullo, a former Saints quality control coach, is the person that informed the NFL about the Saints bounty program, according to New Orleans filmmaker and author Alan Donnes, who made his claim on America’s Radio News Network on Tuesday.
“Based on my sources, and I believe they’re very good, the former defensive quality control coach, his name is Mike Cerullo with a ‘C,’ was let go after the Super Bowl season and for whatever reason, he was unable to find work in the NFL and he believed that it was Gregg Williams and Sean Payton and others in the Saints organization blocking him from getting other work,” said Donnes, according to SportsNOLA.com. “To the best of the sources I have and everybody else has, we all have that name.”
Cerullo was let go by the Saints after the 2009 season.
Cerullo, now a program aide for University of Connecticut football, had no comment when contacted by CBSSports.com.
