Another key Broncos staffer has entered the growing pool of head-coaching candidates in Denver.
On Thursday, the New York Giants officially requested to interview Broncos special-teams coordinator Darren Rizzi for their head-coach vacancy, a source confirmed to The Denver Post. Rizzi’s now the third member of this Denver staff to receive head-coaching interest in an increasingly wild NFL coaching cycle, as defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s had a busy week of interviews and 30-year-old quarterbacks coach Davis Webb has drawn interest from Las Vegas and Baltimore.
Rizzi’s a longtime ally of Broncos head coach Sean Payton, hired as New Orleans’ special-teams coordinator in 2019 and working with Payton for three seasons with the Saints.
