Jets have requested to interview Darren Rizzi (48 Viewers)

People laugh. But he may be exactly the coach they need. A straight up NJ type that they can all relate to

The players really do play hard for Rizzi. The Jets players may react to a harsher stricter culture.

When is DA's interview?

The Jets are requesting to interview Vance Joseph and the Bears have an interest as well. So, let’s say one of them make that terrible hire for a HC. Well, that’s when DA will interview and get the Denver DC job lol

 

[longtime lurker]

Good for him, hopefully his road leads back home and he has some success in NY.

When is DA's interview?

Right after Rex Ryan.

I wonder if anyone's requesting an interview with DA? They have to ask his wife for permission to talk to him...

knowing the saints aren't hiring him, what a good move to swoop in and then be like "hey come be our ST Coach since the saints thru you in the trash"

Didn't throw him in the trash he was given an opportunity by them he did ok but, never was promised anything going forward. If nothing else i wouldn't mind him back as a special teams coach but hey if he can do better best of luck.

Maybe he ends up the ST coach there, but the interview is for the HC job. Many had speculated that he would get this interview given his connection to the NJ/NY area. According to Underhill, Rizzi is always talking about how much he loves the Northeast.

“We didn’t select you for the role you applied for, but we have this position that would be a perfect fit for you and it is currently available.”

I got a job like this once, and turned down a few of these types of offers. One of the ones I turned down, ironically enough, was a coaching position.

As a fan of both teams I’ll say out of the frying pan into the fire.

 

[WilliamBrees]

Don't fall for it. Jets trying to make FO think he's worth keeping.

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

There seems to be a lot of hate for Rizzi for some reason. He may not be the right coach for this team but some of the comments here are pretty rough.

He would be a perfect fit there

Till the 2nd half.

He could hold practice there on the field when it’s cold instead of practicing in the freezer.
