Ron Rivera interviewing for Eagles DC

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

With the talent he had in Washington on the d-line, it didn't seem like his defense was as good as it should have been. I don't know where they wound up statistically but Sweat, Young, Payne, and Allen seems like a stacked front, yet they never really accomplished much.

As a head coach he just couldn't focus on that 1 thing... he even was responsible for player acquisition to some degree, so like half of a GM job.

Wherever he ends up....maybe he will just learn his lesson and "stay in his lane" as only a DC. It's probably what he enjoys the most anyway....and I seriously doubt money us an issue after his Wash and Carolina HC stints

This is comical. Rivera and Siriani would mix like oil and water and could spell the end for Nick.

I've always thought of Rivera as a pretty low key dude. I don't see him as a guy that goes into new environments and starts throwing his weight around.

And as far as Siri...I think he knows he better keep a low profile and not cause any waves....IF he survives (which it appears he will, just with less power, as it seems the Eagles owner/GM have relieved Siri of coach hiring duties)

So what you will about philly....but they are NOT Jerruh and The Idiot: they see something they dont like, they move quickly, and keep everyone on their toes, and demand results.

Jerruh just makes a few scripted messages to the press, pats his coaches on the rear, and gets back to counting his money and urinating in his depends.

I'm sure it's a lot more fun and relaxed working for Jerruh, as you can get away with anything, and nobody holds you accountable

I thought the FO screwed him over with the stupid trades and drafts.

Yeah me too

 

[Diehardblues]

That’s who Cowboys should hire assuming DQ leaves.

What are you talking about. Dan Quin wasn't from within. If we hired the Eagles guy it wouldn't be from within, although I don't know why we would want the Eagles guy.

Or by "within" do you mean from within the NFL rather than from within the team? If so, Rivera was a successful & well respected DC before becoming a head coach, so why wouldn't he be considered by the Eagles? It's been proven repeatedly that a coach can be a great coordinator even if he isn't a great head coach.

Sorry I meant hiring from within the division so so sorry!! Pass around coaches from the NFC East. Rivera goes to the eagles, losai comes here lol

 

[Blue&Silver]

Makes sense.

He's a quality, if unspectacular DC, which would be an upgrade for them. Further, it was reported by one of the beat writers that Lurie is looking for some "veteran" leadership on the staff going forward to help Sirianni.

Rivera used to be a linebacker coach for the Eagles many years ago. It might have been under Jim Johnson.

 

[jrumann59]

Isn't Rivera more of the "old" Tampa 2 type defense coordinator?

 

[Pola_pe_a]

Barely they were winning 8 games….got lucky one year NFC East was weak.

He was the DC when the Bears went to the SB with Rex Grossman.

He was the DC when the Bears went to the SB with Rex Grossman.

That was 20 years ago lol….

that is probably the plan

 

[RoboQB]

Philthy can have him.
Piece of crap human being. A fraud.
Dude fined his friend $100k.

Their fanbase will rip him apart.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Dallas needs to look into Vrabel

Interestingly, he's even still available........same for Harbaugh and Belichick. Maybe it's their demands and/or statutes intimidate some GMs

 

[bigE79]

No big deal, he's just a name at this point, when he took over the skins defense,it got worse.let the egals have him.

 

[Rayman70]

Jerrah gonna run it back and bring in Garrett as a quality control consultant. Just wait for it.
