The Jets completed an HC interview with Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi, the eighth candidate to interview for the job.

Background: Jersey guy, born and raised near MetLife. Longtime special team coordinator with the Dolphins (2010-2018), overlapping with Mike Tannenbaum. Saints (2019-present). Age: 54.

Positives: Sparked the Saints after becoming the interim, as they won 3 of their first 4 under Rizzi. Finished 3-5. Things went off the rails when Derek Carr broke his hand. Aggressive coach, gained player support. Worked under Sean Payton and alongside Dan Campbell. Will interview with Saints for the full-time gig.

Negatives: Only NFL coaching experience is special teams. Saints haven’t been much better than the Jets the last few years. Has won only one playoff game (member of Payton’s staff in 2020). #Jets
