Overview
- Alvin Kamara posted on X endorsing Darren Rizzi, the Saints' interim head coach, for the permanent position.
- Rizzi stepped in as interim head coach mid-season after the Saints fired Dennis Allen following a 2-7 start, improving the team to a 3-5 record under his leadership.
- The Saints have paused in-person interviews for other head coach candidates, including Mike Kafka and Anthony Weaver, due to severe weather in New Orleans.
- Despite Kamara's endorsement, reports suggest the Saints are exploring multiple options and may not retain Rizzi as head coach.
- Rizzi has been with the Saints since 2019, serving as special teams coordinator and assistant head coach before taking on the interim role.
