There’s no question the New Orleans Saints played like a different team under interim coach Darren Rizzi this past Sunday. But it’s much tougher to continue that momentum – especially this week against a team in the Cleveland Browns with a good defense and a quarterback in Jameis Winston who might be looking to exact some revenge.
How will the Saints handle it, and what does the success – or lack there of – with interim coaches have to do with the current situation? Is Rizzi the favorite to land the permanent job? Will the likelihood of center Erik McCoy coming back help the team’s chances of winning?
We’ll talk about that, as well as LSU at Florida, Tulane at Navy and the woeful Pelicans with WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 309) presented by Evangeline Securities. Host Jim Derry is also joined by producer Gabe Henderson. And Jim asks listeners what they think of Rizzi and why they think more highly of him than LSU coach Brian Kelly.
