ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In a deal that has waited on the Super Bowl and some of the contract machinations that come with a job change, the Denver Broncos are set to make Darren Rizzi their special teams coordinator, according to team and league sources.
For the last six seasons Rizzi has been the New Orleans Saints' special teams coordinator after a 10-year stint with the Miami Dolphins. Rizzi, who also served as the Saints' interim head coach this past season after Dennis Allen was fired, was on Broncos coach Sean Payton's staff in New Orleans for three of Rizzi's seasons with the Saints.
