Giants requested to interview Broncos assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi for their head-coaching vacancy.

08 January 2026

Rizzi took over as the Saints’ interim head coach during the 2024 season. Both the Saints and Jets interviewed Rizzi for their head-coaching vacancies the following summer. Rizzi ended up reuniting with Broncos head coach Sean Payton instead. Payton had previously hired him as the Saints’ special teams coordinator back in 2019.
