Rizzi can set himself apart from bottom tier candidates by beating Rams (1 Viewer)

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

The Eberflus, Pierces, annd Allen’s are the norm in HC carousels. It’s common for a team to hire a guy they’ll be moving on from in 2-3 years.

Meanwhile coaches like Tomlin and Payton are rare air and Rizzi has a long way to go to have a chance at that status, but he can separate himself from the bottom rung by not making costly coaching mistakes and beating a team thats favored to defeat us.

Rizzing McVay would be a signature win, the type that seems to escape those inevitable 2-3 and done hires.

You have to keep in mind what Rizzi was left to work with, and that the Rams aren't all of that. I don't think beating a 5-6 team could be a signature win, but I don't think losing to a Rams +2.5 team would be an indictment on Rizzi either.

Give him the job if he beats the Rams this Sunday. At least that’s how I feel about it.

That’s a great point…a win against the Rams definitely gives Rizz another couple notches in his case for the job.

I like Coach Rizz. A leader of men matters, but beating another below .500 team should not decide anything.

Imo, a win against the Rams puts him as the front runner for Saints HC.

But now, he’ll be getting wins against coaches like McVay.
That counts for something.

This is def a big game for both teams against a Superbowl winning coach and QB. The saints are playing inspired football right now

We're putting to much on Rizzi with these hyperbolic post.

It didn't do much for Matt Eberflus.
The Rams are 5-6, just 1 win better than the 4-7 Saints. And McVay, rapid rise (with a little help from his striped friends), won SB, but the last 3 seasons, not exactly the Bill Belichick of the NFC.

Agreed, I'm not even as worried about wins as I am how the team plays (because, realistically I think 2-7 is too big a hole to get out of)....If they are playing hard at the end of the season with nothing on the line, he deserves consideration.....IMO

That said I hope they run the table and a win against the Rams would be extra awesome....we will see....

I'd want to see him do it at least one more time vs either Commanders or Packers. Preferably both.

Don't confuse me saying he can separate himself from the pack w/ saying give him the job.

I suspect that we missed a golden opportunity when we played the falcons a couple weeks back;

I don't recall seeing a single "Rizz up!" sign in the stands...

I'm not sure if he's our future head coach, look at the raiders and Pierce, he galvanized the team after a head coach firing so they hired him full time and it's gotten worse.

We have to get it right this time and really find a guy outside of this building with a ability to lead men.
