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

It definitely is different. DA was already in our system for years and had the handshake deal before we traded SP. There unfortunately was no real HC search that year.

That's entirely different than putting your eggs in one basket on a coach who is not apart of the team.

There was 100% guarantee DA was talking the job before it was open. There is a 0% guarantee Glenn wants anything to do with us.

But there is certainly a chance that the team thought Glenn would take the job due to his history with the team and that they didn't really have a backup plan if that didn't happen. That the Jets are getting in the way could end up leaving us choosing between coaches we didn't really want and never planned to hire. Or maybe the backup plan has always been Rizzi. Regardless, it's at least plausible and the brother of a current Saints player seems to see it that way and I don't think he's wrong to make the speculation. We may never really know, but it'll be telling by who they ultimately choose.
