[Deleted X post] Rizzi’s interview was impressive per Nick Underhill

He hires Rizzi, he is going out the door with him in 12 months. Promoting an interim coach, never really works. Its only happened a handful of times and most, if not all of them, have ended in a bad way. But also, history says promoting an interim to HC - that HC is on a shorter timeline than external hires. So Rizzi goes 4-13, he is gone and Im not sure Loomis can possibly survive 2 coaching hire duds in 4 years. To that end, Im all for it.

Interims also need to prove something while they are interims. Not just Dennis with pixy stix. It would be laughable to hire an interim coach who went 3-5, and ended the season on a 4 game losing streak. LAUGHABLE.

We are building towards 2026 and beyond. Id be perfectly fine with these lame ducks being the loss sponges in 2025 and ushering in a new era with a new GM and new HC to go with our better looking cap and probably top 5 draft pick in 26.

I cant think of too many instances where players having too much of a say in a HC hire ended up being a good thing.

Rizzi is interviewing for our HC position, and on the radar as a special teams coach in Denver and Chicago. Let that sink in.
