@Mr. Scot - How long until you start preparing your Head Coach Candidate write-ups?

Honestly, if we have a losing season, I think Ron should be canned. Our team is so inconsistent, one season, a power house on offense, the next a flop. Another season a jaggernaut on defense, the next a flop. That is a sign of someone who does not know what he is doing. There is no way both units should keep flactuating like that.

 

Besides, one winning season out of four is mediocre.

Ron Rivera is still owed north of 15 million dollars guaranteed.

He ain't going nowhere.

 

Dom Capers was fired two years into a ten year extension.

 

If the team is enough of a mess by season's end, I believe Rivera will be fired.

 

I don't know that it's to that level yet, but with each passing week I see more potential of it getting there.

I don't think a losing season is enough.

 

But an embarrassment of a season might be.

A losing season should be enough. Having just one winning season out of four is more than enough to tell us what he is all about. Any coach can give a littany of reasons why they couldn't win on the season. It's up to the owner to accept that level of mediocrity or not. I know I wouldn't.

we're certainly headed for embarrassment! sadly Cam could walk and honestly he should weigh the coaching direction in his decision. In fact, coaching, protection, contract, and how the front office addresses the needs that will solidify the team.

all i know is NO MIKE SMITH!

 

Jerry Richardson has always had a preference for 'growing your own star' versus hiring someone else's.  I think the bad experience with George Seifert probably reinforced that idea.

 

My worry though: He also has a preference for defensive coaches, and I think the best candidate this coming season is probably an offensive coach.

 

A lot depends on how much leeway he'd give Gettleman (Steve Smith's release would indicate a lot).  The success Gettleman most recently was part of was with an offensive coach (Coughlin).

Honestly, I could be talked into it myself just based on what I've seen already.

 

I think it'd take something more to convince Jerry Richardson though.

Record notwithstanding, I'm embarrassed by this season.

 

Full disclosure though, I wasn't the world's biggest advocate of keeping Rivera before last season.

 

I feared last season might be an aberration but hoped it wasn't.  Right now my fears look smarter than my hopes.

Best to look for possible OC options...   since I fully believe that Rivera's job will be saved for another year when he tosses Shula out.....and while I know he probably likes Shula a lot, but  if it comes down to him or Shula......

true... in reference to Gettleman, him making some form of decision about RR "assuming" the season continues as is will certainly tell us much about who he really is. at the very least, he could fire Shula in the this season "assuming" we continue as is. smh... there is a thin line between unique intelligence and ridiculous. Gettleman is bordering both. RR has made it clear just based on his staff and the power allowed to them.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
