The New York Giants are actively seeking candidates for their head coaching position. They have already met or plan to meet with several notable coaches, including Kevin Stefanski, Raheem Morris, and Antonio Pierce. Recently, they expressed interest in interviewing Darren Rizzi, the special teams coordinator for the Denver Broncos.
Giants Request Interview with Darren Rizzi
According to reports from Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Giants have initiated contact with Rizzi, who is in his inaugural season with the Broncos. Prior to joining Denver, Rizzi worked alongside head coach Sean Payton in New Orleans.
Coaching Background
Rizzi’s coaching journey includes a noteworthy stint in New Orleans. He remained with the Saints under head coach Dennis Allen after Payton’s departure. In 2024, Rizzi stepped up as the interim head coach when Allen was dismissed. His record in that capacity was 3 wins and 5 losses.
Interview Logistics
- The Giants may conduct a virtual interview with Rizzi this week.
- For an in-person interview, they must wait for the Broncos’ postseason to conclude.
- This would occur either after the Broncos are eliminated or during the week between the conference title game and the Super Bowl.
The Giants are exploring various options to fill their head coaching vacancy, and Darren Rizzi’s experience could make him a valuable candidate in their search.
