Rivera is Garrett 2.0
He's coached a defense to the Super Bowl (Chicago).
And he also took the Panthers there as head coach.
Garrett has never come close to achieving either.
Rivera is Garrett 2.0
I would consider Rivera to be an upgrade, albeit a marginal one. Carolina didn't have the talent level of the Cowboys, but he did more with what he had.
Rivera and Garrett have a similar record, but I would submit that Garrett had better talent to work with a large majority of the time and did less with it when compared to Rivera in Carolina.
I like other guys better, but Rivera is not the worst option by a long shot.
I understand, with Jerry's unpredictability you never know.Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't be my first or second choice. I'm just mentioning it as a distinct possibility and pointing out both the positives and negatives were it to happen.

We could do worse, but i hope we do better.What coach is available with SO much "success"? And would take the job?
Some you guys are so funny....been demanding a coaching change for years...then snub your noses at this one? I am not saying he's perfect....AND, I do not believe in making a change any change just for the sake of change. But GENERALLY speaking...if a coach is deemed "successful, he;s likely staying put right where he's "successful".
But if you have someone in mind John I'm all ears!
I am all in on the hoodie.lolWhat coach is available with SO much "success"? And would take the job?

See the post i started on him.
Not a big enough fish, kind of a give up.
I’d love to see him come in as the d coordinatorNow 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?
IHe fits my criteria. He is a defensive minded coach and he doesn't clap on the sidelines. I think Rivera would be a better coach for Dallas than Garrett. I think he is a high character guy who would not allow Jerry's nonsense to get past him. For that reason, he will not be the HC of the Dallas Cowboys.
I would have no problem with Rivera.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'm curious. RR is a completely D minded coach. Why are so many claiming it will be the same? I mean, maybe it wouldn't be an upgrade, but it would definitely not be even remotely the same.

Correct.You've got a lot of company, including me. But I don't think you can get him in that role.
Correct.
There will be 7-8 openings for HCs.
Rivera will be hired quickly.
He is a good fit defensively and can call the defense if Richard decides to leave.
Who on Rivera's old staff would we hire?
ST coach?
What about OL coach? Not sure I like Columbo as the OL has regressed alot and we have only had him 8 games and now 12 this year.
Not sure he is Bill Callahan quality.
Carolina played good defense for years under Rivera. Anybody we can sign on defense to help the defense?
I suggest you guys stop just dissing guys like Rivera.
He's player friendly, knowledgeable, and has a good track record.
I take him immediately.
I'm not sure if he interviewed but he was one of the names that were thrown around back I believe before Parcells or around that time but his name was tossed around by the Cowboys or rumored to be tossed around by the Cowboys a while ago well I guess it would be about 9-10 years ago so it would have been before Garrett came
Yeah I knew it was a while backThis wikipedia article claims he was a candidate for the job before Wade got it:
