[Deleted X post] Rizzi’s interview was impressive per Nick Underhill (110 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

Back in the same position we were with hiring DA. This team isn't ready to win, they aren't even close. If you want another patsy coach you can pump sunshine on while knowing you won't win, he's the right guy for the job.

I'm not sure how we are back in the same position. The players like Rizzi which isn't surprising, but that doesn't mean Loomis is going to hire him. In fact, I think the most likely hire at this point is McCarthy and I think Rizzi is well down the list of preferred coaches. He could be the pick, but it likely takes McCarthy turning the job down and several other coaches not impressing in their interviews.

The fact that it was deleted tells you everything you need to know.

It tells me he is tired of people being butt crevasses on Twitter. It's still in an article that he wrote yesterday that Rizzi was impressive in his interview.

Yep it was in his article yesterday. I think Nick is just tired of people being rude on Twitter and the result is that more and more information is only going to be delivered to subscribers.

Twitter is a cesspool, deleted my account 4 years ago and never looked back.

Now why would Nick delete it

It's much worse now than it was 4 years ago.

It's possible someone from the organization reached out to him and told him to delete it. I never seen a team reporter delete something because of fan's reactions.

While I agree with you that this team isn't ready, when they hired DA, they believed that they could win with him leading the team. That is why they went out and splurged for a QB that they thought could win, instead of paying their bill.

Now, if they go with Rizzi, they may be thinking he's just a caretaker until they clean up this roster and Cap.

I'm not sure why anyone would think that's possible.

If it were true, he would have taken it out of his article and he didn't do that. Not sure why anyone believes that with no evidence except that people want to believe that everything is a giant conspiracy these days.

And Nick has gone on multiple rants recently about how much of a cesspool Twitter is. I also have no idea why the organization would want that deleted. If anything, they would want to soften the blow if they were planning to hire Rizzi by starting to get people used to the idea of it and it doesn't hurt them if they don't hire Rizzi.

Nick does this at least 3x a week. I don't engage on Twitter but I have his notifications on for Saints purposes. Fairly regularly I'll see a tweet from Nick, and I open it, and it's gone.

Then he should stop Tweeting if he's letting people's feelings get to him. That's some soft sheet if he's letting users control what he post.

I wish everyone would migrate over to Bluesky. Twitter is ruined.

Choosing the players' preference didn't go so well for the Raiders last year.

Usually it's him deleting tweets of him engaging with someone who is attempting to get a reaction out of him. Not saying it's right or wrong, just letting you know it's not uncommon for him to do this.

Im warming up to Rizzi, for all the wrong reasons.

If Loomis hires Rizzi, there is no redeeming him. Loomis has to go when Rizzi goes. I just hope its pump and dump with Rizzi. He is an interim, if he is hired as HC and bombs.....we can let him go after a season and not take much flack for it.

2nd, Id rather not ruin a new HC with the disaster 2025 is going to be. Let Rizzi take the Ls, fire him and Loomis after the 2025 season.

Then he should stop Tweeting if he's letting people's feelings get to him. That's some soft sheet if he's letting users control what he post.

Underhill is a megaphone. He doesnt care what the fans think. He cares what Loomis thinks.

1 of 2 things happened.

1) He got info from the Saints FO that Rizzis interview went well, and they wanted to keep it under wraps. So they contacted him about it and he deleted it. They want full control over how they decide to disappoint the entire fanbase except 3 people about Rizzi.

2) He worded the tweet in a way that brought too much.....'this is happening'.....to the discussion, so he deleted it.

Either directly or indirectly, he was acting on how the FO did or would perceive it, and nothing to do with the comments.

No one is going to be happy with Rizzi. He knows it. Loomis knows it. But Loomis has a real penchant for wanting to defy logic and look like the smartest guy in the room. I see this being no different.

Players are the absolute last people you want to listen to. That's how you end up with terrible hires.
