Head Coaching Candidates for 2025

I'm truly interested in seeing what Rizzi can do in his audition, as well as Joe Woods. If he wins just double the games Allen did, keep him.
The problem here is that fans want what they consider to be a 'proven' commodity. They want to believe that the new head man already knows all the nuances of the job and will understand how best to fix the problems that exist and can even improve on what may be working. But this doesn't always happen. But Rizzi is the unknown. The unknown is scary because getting a new head coach is also a time commitment. Time wasted on a new regime that doesn't get results just sets you back at least 3 years from getting to start the process all over again.

But we really don't know what will happen with any knowledgeable football coach taking the reins. Even a guy like Belichick may be a failure if the right pieces doesn't come together. It's understandable why a guy like Rizzi may not get serious consideration for the job, because no one has given him a chance to build that resume' yet.
No one knows what kind of head coach he could be. But these coming 8 games is his chance to give us all a clue.
