The Bears are wasting no time in putting together their coaching staff after hiring Ben Johnson as their head coach.
With Dennis Allen the front-runner for the defensive coordinator job, the Saints are also heavily pursuing Darren Rizzi to be their special teams coach, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Rizzi replaced Allen as the Saints’ interim coach this season.
Rizzi is still a contender for two head coaching jobs, and the Jets and Saints have interviewed him.
Rizzi, 54, is a longtime special teams coach who went 3-5 as the Saints’ interim head coach. He has 16 years of experience in the NFL, the last six in New Orleans.
Schefter reports that Rizzi has interest from “over half a dozen teams” with Chicago as a potential landing spot.
