Darren Rizzi’s presser: “I’m an accountability guy. We’ve been doing things the same way here for a long time. Change is needed.”

I like what he says, but a lot of guys "talk the talk". show me how you "walk the walk".

With that said, I'm getting Dan Campbell vibes from this guy. And I like that he seems to be an innovator, and thinks outside the box. Dude was instrumental in getting the kickoff rules re-written, and then developing strategies to work for the advantage. That bodes well, IMO.

Best case scenario, we've got a younger John Harbaugh/Dan Campbell on our hands. Worst case scenario, he does things different than DA. No mattter how this season turns out, I hope Rizzi remains on staff in 2025. I have no issues making him HC if he demonstrates the qualities; and I see very few issues with returning an INTERIM HC to his prior position with a heart-felt "THANK YOU for helping the team when the team needed you most...here's a bonus, and you are still our ST coach."

But fingers crossed for the 1st scenario. Is this what hope feels like? It's been so long, I've forgotten...
