The Denver Broncos are hiring New Orleans Saints assistant special teams coach Marwan Maalouf to work under Darren Rizzi:

Rizzi was a candidate to become the Saints' next coach and interviewed for the position after the season. In 2024, he led New Orleans to a 3-5 record after Dennis Allen was fired following a 2-7 start. Rizzi was promoted to the interim role after serving as the team's special teams coordinator for five-plus seasons.

Darren Rizzi is reuniting with Sean Payton. The former New Orleans Saints interim head coach is heading to the Denver Broncos to be their new special teams coordinator, according to a Friday afternoon report by NFL Network.
