For the first time in 28 years, the New Orleans Saints have an in-season coaching change, as Darren Rizzi will go into his first game against the (of all teams) Atlanta Falcons? What is the history of interim coaches and their debuts?

Jim Derry answers that question, and he brings in The Athletic’s Larry Holder to ponder whether Rizzi could make a run at the fulltime gig on a permanent basis. We also preview Sunday’s game on Friday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 307) presented by Evangeline Securities, and we answer questions from the live audience throughout the show.

It's also a day to take a look at LSU’s chance against Alabama on Saturday, as some ask whether the Tigers now have a coaching advantage with Brian Kelly over Kalen DeBoer. Lastly, what are the top games in the NFL for Week 10, and do we see any upsets coming?

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to focus on what's important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, Prep, sports betting, fantasy sports and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans. Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he'll "always tell you the way it is ... or at least the way he THINKS it is."
