Darren Rizi promoted today

[MikeO]

As well as Special Teams coordinator he was given the title of Assistant Head Coach

[Phishfan]

It's a title that is thrown around to keep an assistant from jumping to another team and to justify giving them a pay raise to keep him around. A resume builder title that looks good on paper but does nothing and has no "real value." Do you ever hear players talking about what their "assistant head coach" said. Most players don't even know who the assistant head coach is, nor should they!  It's a worthless title.

 

I just had to do that.

[MikeO]

I just had to do that.

I stand by what I said. Cause its true! lol

The role has no real value and they just fired Coyle, Lazor will be gone at the end of the year and they are doing this to keep Rizi happy as they want to keep him beyond this year as the ST coach most likely. Rizi was here with Sprano, here with Philbin, so they want to promote him give him a raise to ensure he is here with whoever the next head coach is

Considering that Special Teams is one of the few bright spots on the team, they should keep Rizi around.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Actually it means a lot.  It means that in the hc opinion that if the hc had a heart attack on the morning of the game this is the person I trust to be able to rise to the challenge of getting the team ready to play and execute the game plan.

[CF DolFan]

Considering most people thought he would get the Head Coaching job I do think they are trying to keep him around.
