Agree It is whatever to me but at the same time our ST’s was definitely better . It was horrible before. Sorta hoping/thinking it could be more about not losing Banjo and giving him the job.
Very likely. Kow was brought in by Westhoff, so alone he wasn't likely going to stay anyway.

Banjo just interviewed with 9ers for that position yesterday.

Plus Rizzo is floating around out there too.

Players love Banjo too. I think Payton really wants to give him a promotion.

Let's make it work!

LGM told me the other day that Rizzi was named our ST's coordinator but I haven't seen anything to confirm that. Still holding out hope for Banjo but Rizzi would be a great hire. Banjo is a personal thing and IMO a great hire but Rizzi would be the only thing that would really absorb losing Banjo for me right now.

Well I definitely mentioned it, but I think you took it a touch to far (as usual).

Banjo interviewed with the Cowboys today.

We either promote him or we lose him here soon.

Seems more likely we lose him if we are letting him interview with other teams.

Love me some Banjo. Maybe he will end up back here down the line but happy for him. Nobody worked as hard in practice then Chris Banjo as a player. Dude gives it 110%.

Lost your TE's coach Declan Doyle to the Bears where he is going to be their OC.

Rizzi is the next best hire to Banjo in my opinion and probably the best. Banjo is a personal thing.

Betting he becomes the assistant HC too.

Saints players seem to love Rizzi and he is pretty highly regarded so this will be a positive.
If only there were good players on the Saints to make this matter.

I'm seeing a ton of media sources saying we hired Rizzi.

From PFT
The Broncos are hiring former Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi as their special teams coach, Mike Klis of 9News reports.

Rizzi was a finalist for the Saints’ head coaching job that went to Kellen Moore this week, freeing up the Broncos to hire Rizzi.

He has 16 years of experience in the NFL, the past six in New Orleans. Broncos coach Sean Payton hired Rizzi with the Saints.

Rizzi took over as the Saints’ interim head coach after the team fired Dennis Allen, and Rizzi was 3-5 in his first head coaching gig.

Rizzi’s longtime assistant, Phil Galiano, is a candidate to take over the Saints’ job and Galiano could follow Rizzi if he doesn’t get that job.
