Washington fires HC Ron Rivera

[ScipioCowboy]

Why would he? What has he ever done? He was a weak OC in Kansas City as Andy Reid runs that offense similar to McCarthy here with Schottenheimer the OC in name only. Then he goes to Washington to put on his big boy OC pants and flops.

What's the attraction? I want you to say it.

I’m gonna need you to work a little harder to End Hate.

Best thing for Rivera was to get out of that cesspool.

He was a big part of that cesspool.
What he did to Jack Del Rio was inexcusable.

 

[chasecooley5308]

he won't stay under a new HC, he went there to be HC

I'm thinking he gets a shot at HC.

 

[Havic]

Bienemy maybe? If not, bill b come on down

[CowboyChris]

I'd be fine with it.

hmmm...so you would be fine with JJ and Stephen totally hands on?

 

[cald0d30s0]

This is truly breaking news.

Just like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, no one saw that coming too.

Germans?

No. I would be fine with the two frauds who are far too lazy to ever do the job to replace McClay with someone else.

Germans?

yeah it was in the papers

you don't bring in a high priced team to do a search to hire the guy already there. They only hire him if no one else wants it.

valid point

 

[gimmesix]

He looks surprised to hear it.

 

[vlad]

That is wild.

 

[gimmesix]

Remember this board's meltdown when he was hired? Yeah, good times

I wanted him or McCarthy because both had taken teams to Super Bowls, and in some ways you could say Rivera's was more impressive because he did it with Cam Newton. I think that this reflects, though, how difficult it is to find that right combination of coaches, players, good fortune, etc., to produce a Super Bowl team. Only seven coaches have taken more than one team to a Super Bowl, and none has won with two teams.

I think fans fail to consider this often when they think an offensive coordinator under an offensive-minded coach should become a head coach. I think they should first go somewhere as offensive coordinator under a defensive-minded coach to prove themselves. Bienemy had the chance in Washington and couldn't do it.

Not a statement posing as a question... totally honest, totally curious...

If Dan Quinn exits... is Ron Rivera a consideration for DC? Don't misread that. Is he a consideration. Is he a candidate... ie, someone that you would anticipate would get interviewed?

 

[SlammedZero]

Absolutely not. I would offer the job to Al Harris immediately.

nope, you lock up Al Harris and there is an argument to be made by many to do this anyhow

Fair enough!!! I guess, for some stupid reason, when I made that post I wasn't thinking about Al Harris, but I agree 100%.

If Dan Quinn left this off-season, would you guys take Rivera as DC?

(Sorry... see you already posed the question.)
