Darren Rizzi is returning to New Jersey, looking to keep Saints coaching job and extend Giants’ woes

When the Saints visit MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants on Sunday it’s going to be a homecoming for New Orleans interim head coach Darren Rizzi

Darren Rizzi, currently serving as the interim head coach of the New Orleans Saints, is set for a homecoming as the team faces the New York Giants in New Jersey. A New Jersey native and lifelong Giants fan, Rizzi is leading the Saints after the firing of Dennis Allen following a difficult start to the season. He has already brought energy and adjustments to the team, including practice changes that players have appreciated【6】【7】.

Under Rizzi’s guidance, the Saints have secured two wins, and he is making a strong case to shed the “interim” label. However, the team’s performance in the remaining games, including their matchups against the Giants and other upcoming opponents, will be critical in determining his future as head coach【6】【7】.

This game is particularly meaningful for Rizzi as he seeks to build his résumé and extend the Giants’ struggles, further cementing his value to the Saints organization.
