Broncos special teams coach Darren Rizzi to interview with Giants on Saturday

The New York Giants are set to interview Broncos special teams coach Darren Rizzi for their head coaching position on Saturday. Rizzi, a New Jersey native, is among several candidates for the role. The Giants' list of interviewees includes former Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, former Cowboys and Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, interim head coach Mike Kafka, former Falcons head coach Raheem Morris, and former Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce.

Rizzi is currently in his first season with Denver but has previous experience working with Sean Payton in New Orleans. He became the interim head coach for the Saints during the 2024 season after Dennis Allen's firing, achieving a 3-5 record. Rizzi's NFL coaching career began as an assistant special teams coach with the Dolphins in 2009, where he later served as the special teams coach for nine years.
