Loomis has to know Rizzi isn’t an option after the DA disaster. I saw an analysis from 2021 (forgot where) that showed how internal promotions have a high failure rate, with the creator saying he thought Freddie Kitchens would be the last of those mistakes in the NFL.
Hiring Rizzi would be trying that historically failing strategy a second time in a row.
Rizzi is the perfect lame duck coach. He’d be a great motivator and keep the locker room intact until we are avtually in a position to recruit a good HC option and win. Kellen Moore would be absolutely toast
