I really wanted Rizzi a shot at head coach but he shouldn’t be the hire now... (1 Viewer)

[BayouSAINTJoe]

Never was the guy for me either...I'm just glad we're not screwing up our draft position...maybe we screw up the pick...but it won't be because someone was ahead of us

I didn’t watch the game, out of town right now. However, are the stats correct, did our RBs run for a total of 10 times today?




And yeah Rizz is pretty bad. He has the SP fire, with not much to back it up!

Rattler rush for 3 times, I figured they were sneaks. I don't think any coach could win with this squad this late in the season. I just feel if we going fire coaches based on wins or losses I think any coach lose. But like 1 poster if judging on players discipline in a loss I can u derstand. I didn't watch either I couldn't see the saints pulling this off without atleast kamara.

I saw that he had 3 runs, but did the our RBs only have 10 total runs? If so, the coaching staff should not be allowed to return next week.

 

[saintsmarchin]

He has the right leadership for the gig, he just doesnt have NFL playcalling level ability.

First Saints offensive snap of the game was a designed outside run for Rattler

I want Kliff to get a second shot.

No. He is just a good OC period. He got fired from his Alma meter which barely even has standards.

 

[dvdman]

He better not be even considered. He did not show me anything.

 

[St. Geezy]

Yeah I was Team Rizzi and I get it with the injuries, but it would be really hard to sell anyone on the idea that he should be the HC through all of this.

I’m not too bothered if we keep Rizzi or not (although I do like the attitude he conveys) depending on who’s available, but it’s pretty clear to me that the players are already mentally on vacation. Hard to hold him responsible for professional players deciding they really don’t care enough to play for themselves, let alone him, the Logo or the city they’re supposed to represent. It’s been the most frustrating part of these last two losses for me, just clearly not showing up.

It's part of the coach's job to keep players motivated and fighting. You think a team would quit on someone like Mike Tomlin like this? He can be held responsible for the lack of effort...and the dumb penalties...and the fact he wasn't aware of the clock during the 2-minute drill on Green Bay...

The clock thing is absolutely inexcusable and I agree with you there. However, I'm going to hold the grown professional millionaires responsible for not giving a basic level of effort through the end of the year moreso than the interim Head Coach. I totally understand your point about not quitting on another coach, and maybe that is true, but that's besides the point for me. They've quit on themselves as much as they've quit on Rizzi or the organization or the fans, that's disgusting to me.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Never was a yes for me. He is a very good coordinator, but it is clear that is his ceiling.

Same. I wouldn’t mind them keeping him on for next season tho as that will be an inadvertent tank year. Kind of like this one was.

The players deserve criticism too, for sure. They should not be let off the hook for this, either.

 

[SweetT]

We need a complete overhaul of coaching staff. Keep not 1 of these coaches. Not saying that they all suck, but this team needs an overhaul.

 

[HouseCall]

I like Rizzi. He seems like a hard-nosed coach who brings a much different element than Allen did.

But I don’t think he’s the guy for this job and I only say that because he’s currently in the building.

Had he been somewhere else this season, I’d have no qualms about him being in the running for HC.

We have to get the stink of Allen and any remaining Payton residue out.

I was worried that Rizzi was going to squeeze out a couple of meaningless wins against either Washington and/or Green Bay and get the job similar to the way Allen got the gig from his 9-0 shutout of the Bucs as an interim when Payton got Covid.

Yea, I'm not trying to excuse Rizzi as much as I want to highlight that a lot of our players have just phoned it in. I'm gonna watch the next game because it's the last Saints game until next September but some of these players need to have look in the mirror after the last two performances.
