New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara seemingly endorsed Darren Rizzi to be named the team's next head coach this week.
In a post on Tuesday on X, Kamara said his choice as Saints head coach “rhymes with Fizzi.”

Jon I really talk too much about football. Especially in the off-season. But it's funny to hear why you think the coach should get the job or not. But then again.. the last time any of yall played anything organized was last night at 2k. I can't get my best friend to pass you the ball on…
Rizzi, who has been the Saints' special teams coordinator since 2019 and assistant head coach since 2022, was named New Orleans' interim head coach after Dennis Allen was fired in November.
In eight games as interim head coach, Rizzi went 3-5, an improvement over the Saints' 2-7 start.
The Saints have also been linked to several other candidates, including former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, who New Orleans brought in for an in-person interview this week, per Nick Underhill of New Orleans.Football.
