What if it's Ron Rivera?

[CB61]

He was.

But he was a. assistant under Lovie Smith in Chicago as I recall.

And Jerrah had already decided on Garrett.

Norv Turner was also being considered before
Phillip's got hired.

I would much rather Turner right now than Garrett.

With this team, Turner could make some noise with Zeke and Amari and Dak.

Wonder if Norv would consider coming home?

Anybody but Garrett Gary Kubiak was also throwing around as a candidate I would rather have him

as Defensive coordinator

Now that Rivera has been let go by the Panthers, the possibility exists that he could in fact be the next head coach of the Cowboys. I think that there are better hires and I think there are worse hires, but I'm interested to hear the thoughts from the forum and what your reaction would be if Jerry did hire Rivera as this team's next head coach?

Think Jerry is gonna go with somebody else. bigger profile

 

[Stash]

Think Jerry is gonna go with somebody else. bigger profile

A distinct possibility to be sure. And something I hope for.

But that says to me that Jerry would be conceding both power and profile. A welcomed change from my perspective.

Heck, I'd like to shoot for the moon and try to land Bill Belichick, the best of all time, if it's somehow possible.

I think Rivera would be a solid hire, but much less high profile and would require much less concessions on Jerry's part. And sadly, that would give me the impression of just more of the same dynamic we've had for these many years.

if belichick decides not to resign with ne, i think hes going to dallas

If, in fact he is actually free to leave New England. I can't seem to get any definitive answers on the subject, just speculation.

To me just different things have happened that leads me to think its his last yr.

McDaniels backs out on a deal he agreed to with IND hrs after he agreed
Brady having that voidable 2 yr deal

Now with the struggles the team is having.

I hope you're right but I can't get my hopes up without seeing something definitive on the subject of his contract status. It's clear that he and the organization have gone to great lengths to keep that - like many other things - a well-kept secret.

I could live with it because no matter what, I think he would make the defense better. Garrett primarily has built an offense over his years because he's an offensive coach, so Rivera wouldn't really have to worry about building it, just finding someone to coordinate it.

He took a team to the Super Bowl, so he knows how to get there.

Its a long shot no doubt

MY 3 hopes

1. Bill Belichick
2. Nick Saban
3. Robert Saleh

So, there’s a coach who actually took a team with a so so offense to the Super Bowl, the holy grail according to fans, but that means nothing and he’s a bum coach? I don’t understand why a college coach who hasn’t won a championship is preferred over an NFL man and defensive guy who has actually taken a garbage team and gotten it to a super bowl after a few years.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I think most of us would sign up for that. But I don't think you could get him in that role.

I think it's possible.

I'd take him as a HC if we can't have him as a DC

I'd take Kubiak as well.

 

[CB61]

I'd take Kubiak as well.

At the time yes but he has said recently that he's not really interested in head coaching position although it wouldn't be a bad idea to talk to him

 

[gimmesix]

I'd look at any Super Bowl coaches. I trust coaches who have gotten there more than ones we don't know could ever get there.

 

[StarMan2112]

As long as Jerry is running the show, doesn’t make a damn who the coach is.

I would be I would be about as happy with Rivera as I was with With the Wade Phillips hiring. I really like Wade as a DC and as a person. Not so much as a HC.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Just watched his press conference. He is genuinely a player's coach...no doubt he connects with players. He might not be a great head coach overall but you can see how he was able to get a lot out of players...much more than these supposed "player's coaches" like Wade and Garrett.

Maybe DC, but I've never been a big fan of his as a HC.
