After firing Dennis Allen in November, New Orleans will likely pick from seven candidates to be the team's next head coach.

The New Orleans Saints running back took to social media on Tuesday to weigh in on the process, writing that he'd like to see interim coach Darren Rizzi keep the job. Rizzi has interviewed once for the position, but also could be in demand around the league as a special teams coordinator if he's not retained.

Alvin Kamara just cast his vote for the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints. He believes Darren Rizzi has earned the opportunity to lead this team:

New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara has now weighed in on who he wants to be the next head coach of the franchise.

Rizzi has been with the Saints since 2019, starting out as the special teams coordinator, then adding the assistant head coach title in 2022. He was named interim head coach on November 4 after the team fired Dennis Allen. New Orleans went 3-5 over the team's final eight games to finish the season 5-12.

Since the season ended, New Orleans has begun looking for a new head coach and has already interviewed big names such as Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. However, star running back Alvin Kamara has made his pick for who he wants very clear.

Alvin Kamara appeared to signal an endorsement for a very specific Saints head coach candidate while the winter storm of the century was underway.

When the New York Jets got the first in-person interview with Aaron Glenn, it spelled bad news for the New Orleans Saints. There's no rule saying coaches have to sit down with multiple teams, so taking the Jets interview first displayed a clear priority.
