There are some good options this year. But my concern is that the players really like Rizzi and that may sway things in his favor. I wouldn't hate that, but I wouldn't love it either.
There are some good options because you have a mix of young and older candidates with all levels of qualifications, experience and ideas. It is exciting but at the same time this decision is one of the biggest an organization can or has to make.
As far as Rizzi goes, I agree the players really seem to play hard for the guy and it is evident they like him and that is good but it takes more than that to be a head coach although you can see how important that is being we just witnessed a coach that had zero respect from the majority of the team. I would support Rizzi just as I will any coach we choose. He deserves to be in the discussion, but I am glad we are interviewing as many people as we can just as far as looking at ever option.
