Brian Flores Is the only Defensive HC that should be considered by the Saints. The Vikings are not going to keep him past this yr.

Like I've said , I do like Rizzi. It's just there is nothing to go on to tell if he knows the offensive or defensive side of the ball well enough to be an NFL HC...

Hey Dan, While I like Rizzi as a motivator I do have some concerns that he has only been a ST coordinator in the NFL. He's never been a OC or DC or even a position coach in the NFL or at a major college. He was HC at New Haven and Rhode Island. Do you think it could be a big learning curve for him to be a HC at the NFL level?

I'm not too worried. Being a coordinator is really kind of divorced from the actual job of HC. You see offensive and defensive coordinators become HC's more often because their play-calling/system is putting them on the map, garnering name recognition. But calling plays is really at the bottom fo the HC success pyramid.

So the ST coordinator stuff doesn't bother me at all. There are non-play-calling HC's all over the place at both the NFL and college level. If he's coaching in the NFL, he understands football. In short, he didn't cut his teeth coaching kickers. ...

If the Special Teams coordinator stuff doesn't bother TCUDan, then it doesn't bother me at all.
