That would be a solid hire. Believe it when I see it though.

 

[Creeper]

I am not sure what to make of this. Rivera's defenses in Washington have not been great despite having two of the best DTs in the league.

 

[rambo2]

I said that last week.

 

[Parcells4Life]

He prioritizes stopping the run. That would be a step up from relying only on sacks/INTs

There is always the possibility something will stick on a wall if you can fling enough at it.

Ron Rivera is a legit defensive coordinator.

If Dan Quinn leaves for Seattle or Washington or a mutual parting of the ways, would Riverboat Ron want to join Mike McCarthy's staff, which is taking on water and suspect to sink next season?

 

[Parcells4Life]

He also brings that element of toughness the team needs going back to playing days in Chicago.

This team has enough sizzle. Needs more substance.

I like the DC from the Giants. He had an up and down year last year with limited talent. But put together some pretty good games. I'd like to see what he could do with his aggressive style and this talent.

 

[Captain-Crash]

quinn probably is going nowhere, nobody wants him, or he's a terrible interviewer.

Heck bring Wade back

 

[CATCH17]

Hard pass.

 

[RoboQB]

He's a terrible coach and a worse human being.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I don't follow Ron's defensive style, but I would hope if he takes the job that he can coach technique with this team to avoid the incessant games and stunts we used to get to the QB.

I feel opposing teams used this tendency against us in the run game, and expected us to game ourselves out a late run gap.

Also I would like another coordinator to implement a style of defence that controls the line much more than make the line fluid and shifting. I would prefer solid gap control.

People were enamored with Parcells and his conservative approach. Between James bulking up and Ayodele, we had 2 ILBs who played in the 260 range.

We could stop the run.

Middle of the defense got exposed in passing game.

When Parcells didn’t come back, the fan base was excited because Wade was more aggressive. He was willing to trade giving up big plays to make big plays.

Then we failed to win under him, people wanted conservative again. And we have done both cycles again …. With Kiffin. And Quinn.

Now we are wanting to get back on the conservative track. Apparently.

Give that a few years and this fan base will flip flop. Again.

Ron Rivera is a legit defensive coordinator.

What scheme does he run? I know he played in Buddy Ryan's 46 scheme.
In other words, sell him if you can (lol)

 

[Cowboys93]

I can only hope our next staff isn’t full of retreads

 

[Hawkeye0202]

a worse human being.

My goodness.....why do you say this??????

 

[XXLMike]

Ron Rivera is the most overrated name in football after Marvin Lewis .

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He could bring Leslie Frazier in with him.......they were teammates for the Bears

 

[RoboQB]

My goodness.....why do you say this??????

Imagine fining your "good friend" $100k for
answering a question. Dude's a fraud. I don't
want him anywhere near the Cowboys unless
he's on the opposing team's sideline.

How do people NOT know this, I wonder.
