So that Saints bounty case isn't exactly going away, is it?

Per tweets from SI.com's Peter King (keep in mind these are just allegations with evidence and not concrete facts, but still):

NFL just showed reporters evidence in Saints case, incl allegation of $35k bounty, not just $10k, to knock Favre out of '09 NFC title game.

The $35k bounty on Favre, the league claims, included a $5000 pledge from current interim Saints coach Joe Vitt.

So should Vitt -- who has been suspended for the first six games next year -- be coaching at all if that's the case?
