Chances Riverboat Ron gets Canned ?

[d-dave]

It is a coaching marvel that with a make shift o line, rookie #1 WR, no healthy running backs, losing Greg Hardy, no speed in secondary, and no cap space we are 3-3-1

Hell he may deserve another extension for making lemonade with this bunch of lemons

 

 

Good point!

 

But let's blame Ron anyway!

Ron said several times he was ok with Chandler and Bell.  It doesnt seem like he went out of his way to get some talent at o line signed.

Ron doesn't go get the talent.  Gettlemagic is the one who gets talent.  Ron has to coach what he's given.

As has been mentioned, and per his own words, Gettleman works with Rivera on setting the roster.

Only way he's sacked is if we only win 1/2 more games or something this season

THIS times 100000!!!! Some people just don't see it, I think about 21 of 32 coaches would be 2-4 to 0-6 at this point with what we have!

Except Rivera believed in those guys too. Some evidence suggests he believed more than Gettleman did.

Whether you agree or not though, it's way more likely Rivera gets canned than Gettleman.

I don't ultimately think Rivera will be fired, but if the season goes in the toilet I do think it's conceivable.

Ron believes in who he is given. Players coach.

I think Ron would prefer decent players instead of one really good one and crap on D. Need to give him a solid D to coach instead of the NYG model that was always criticized.

I think Ron believed in Gross, Wharton, Captain, Mitchell, etc. too. Those were the best guys on weak units....I think discount Dave thought he could repeat basically what was a lotto win in the cheap FA bin in 2013. Which ultimately is the difference in this and last year

I think 'hoped' would be better than 'thought'. You really never know until the team starts playing. And it's not like he had any other choice. You've got to shop in the bargain store if you're poor.

The only way I see us firing Rivera is if he completely looses the players. Other than that I see us firing our OC. I don't know if we will fire our DC since we had the 2nd ranked defense last year.

Personally I think McDermott isn't that good and the only reason why we had the 2nd ranked defense was because we could cause havoc with only 4 guys rushing and the rest in coverage.

JR would replace RR with another defensive minded coach to keep the team in the mold of the Steelers. A hard hitting, lunch pale, blue collar kind of team.

 

If you want an offensive oriented team, then you'll have to wait until JR passes away.

[panthers55]

First of all you don't fire the coach of the year in 2013 because you fruit basket turnover the team and you don't win while you struggle with poor talent because you pick up unknowns and over the hill veterans.  Secondly why keep blaming Shula for all the injuries on offense and lack of receiver talent. Chud who was supposedly great averaged the exact same number of points in 2012 as we are averaging right now with arguably much less talent.  Not only is there no need for change but you would be changing things that aren't the main problem.

[Ruff]

I think it's low, but not 0%.

[Jangler]

how much is still on his contract?

 

yeah...no. 0% chance
