Troubling comment from Rivera

[Proudiddy]

Idk if any of you recall but pre-Riverboat era (you know, when his job was on the line), Rivera regularly said this kind of stuff. IIRC, he said almost the exact same thing about Chud one time and came under fire for how much involvement or input he had in the gameplanning. It is clear he still doesn't know the difference between being a head coach and just a coordinator.

if he actually said that, its a very bad sign.  Do you even coach bro?

fire shula at the end of the year  idc if we win a superbowl he has to be gone

This is one reason why winning "Coach of the Year" was not a good thing. Instead of progressing and further learning the finer details of the trade, he seems to be riding the coat tails of last year.

[chknwing]

Well he probably doesn't know and probably won't until he looks at the tape.

 

 

can we get the guy a vcr or some something on the sideline so he can correct mistakes during the fuging game?

[imminent rogaine]

Yup it baffles me too. Countless times they show Rivera on the sideline and he is just staring with no emotion or clue as to what is unfolding on the field...

He was just thinking about how he would mis-manage the clock if he got the opportunity.

There's no better time than now. Why wait until our 3 game winning streak at the end if the year (once the playoffs are out of reach) to make it seem like he's finally "got it"?

would love them to fire him now but it takes a lil bit to change up an offense

Ultimately it is up to Cam to throw to the open receiver.  It isn't like Olsen didnt run routes yesterday or anything.  We dont know how many plays he was the primary receiver or not, anything else is just assumption.

Yes you prep all week but a great coach can change a game plan on a simple timeout. A great coach game plan is to change the game plan at halftime most of the time to be one step ahead of the opposing side. Having one game plan is asking for failure.

You change a play on a time out. You don't change an entire gameplan. Now what we were doing in the first half was working defensively but Ron Rivera is not an offensive coach, he is an administrator of sorts. Shula is left to decide when and where to make changes and Rib checks off on them but I would assume has relatively little input compared to what people here would like i.e. Sean Payton or McCarthy.

Rivera talks to defensive players sometimes, but he doesn't seem very involved with the players on Sundays. I'm watching the Packers/Saints game right now and you frequently see Sean Payton making calls, talking to Brees, heavily involved in the gameplan for the offense. McCarthy is the same on the other side, actively involved in the gameplan. Rivera is a defensive coach, granted, but you don't see that kind of involvement from him on either side of the ball during the game.

So I'm not surprised he had no idea why Greg Olsen wasn't more involved. He seems pretty removed from it all during the game.

Payton and McCarthy have literally been the Offensive Play Callers for almost every snap they have had with their current teams. So yeah, when you are actually calling all the plays there will be more involvement
