How are you thinking about the rest of the Saints season?

TACOES.

I want the Saints to win out, but not for a chance at the playoffs.

If Rizzi can cement himself as a serious Head Coach this year by winning all his games, that will be way more important for the long term success of the Saints. It avoids the rat race of everyone fighting for Ben Johnson and the other one or two top tier candidates with everyone else hoping the guy that wasn't their first pick, or that retread, or some past their prime hire will work.

Yes, there will be risks with having a HC who isn't an expert in Xs and Os on offense or defense, but if a guy wins eight straight games in the NFL as the interim, that's serious. You have to take a chance on him because he's shown he's a winner. Period.
