Rizzi also interviewed for the job. Glenn wasn't offered the job and Rizzi was given a promotion to Assistant HC with his ST Coordinator duties. That alone tells me who they prefer as a future HC.
Yep, Rizzi interviewed for the job too but promoting him to ACH doesn't really mean that they didn't like Glenn more as a HC.
And word was that Glenn was a serious contender to get the job at the time. I heard no such thing about Rizzi.
Regardless, things have changed since then and Rizzi has a chance to earn the job. We'll have to see how he does but for me to want him to get the job I really need him to end up 6-2 or 5-3 with the team playing good to great football in each game. And they still need to do a full slate of interviews to make sure there isn't someone better.
In the end if neither Rizzi nor Glenn were better options than DA 3 years ago, it makes me question picking either one now.
