Jeff Ulbrich isn’t the only interim head coach the Los Angeles Rams will face this season. We can now add Darren Rizzi to the list.
The New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday after the team’s ugly loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9, naming Rizzi the interim head coach. The Rams will visit the Saints at the Superdome in Week 13.
That game is three weeks before Los Angeles will face Ulbrich, who’s now coaching the New York Jets following the firing of Robert Saleh. So that’s two interim head coaches that the Rams will face in a four-week span.
Whether this trend is good or bad remains to be seen, because neither the Jets nor the Saints were doing anything productive under their previous head coaches. The Jets are still struggling under Ulbrich, though they did just beat the Texans on Thursday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Barring a huge surprise, those are likely to be the only two interim coaches the Rams face this season.
