Ron Rivera to the Rams?

[d-dave]

What a weird rumor.   There would have to be a LOT of cash and players involved. I'm not sure it makes a ton of sense. 

I'm more I  favor of keeping Ron than trashing him.   I am in favor of canning Shula though. 

The main point after the deal was done,  who replaces him? How does the team respond? Not sure if the change and uncertainty are worth it in the long no term.

I seriously doubt there is anything to this.  He's probably just fishing for views/attention.  I'm not a big Rivera fan, but the only way he was getting fired/traded is if we completely crashed and burned.

Unless the Rams offer us a truck-load, which they probably won't, Rivera isn't going anywhere.

In all fairness to RR. I think we are in a similar situation as Denver was a few years ago. When elway canned Fox.

I don't think Ron brings out the best in Cam. And for that matter Keek either. I think they flourish despite Ron not because of Ron 

[Hotsauce]

Trading a HC for picks is a move that I could absolutely see Gettleman do.  He don't give no fukcs.

 

There needs to be a potential HC thread with some great in depth info. 

If I had some names to get excited about that would be great.

Hey I hear Jeff Fisher is available.

This is stupid and think this is a made up story.  Dull week in bowl games and nothing exciting to write about so make up some bullshit story about Rivera going west.

Want to make a change dump Shula.

You may have an agrument for Cam. But how does he not bring the best out of Luke? He's a year in year out All-pro. How is Ron holding him back? How much better could he be? Perhaps Bill O'Brien has been holding JJ Watt back all these years too.

For a nice draft pick im all for it. They can have rivera if that means no more shula

[punkpanther]

Shitty head coach for draft picks ? Sign me up. Rivera is Fox all over again. This time they need to recognize it and pull the trigger .

Mexicans live in Cali = Panthers trade their coach. Makes sense.

Richardson just woke up, "WTH you mean Rivera's a mexican"?

What a ridiculous news story. Everyone in California knows every Mexican here is a Raider fan, save a few Cowboy fans.

If the Rams want the leftover fanbase via the HC's race they need to hire the whitest cracker they can find.

See above on candidates.

The team would have to believe Rivera isn't the future to do this.

I don't see it coming to pass, but stranger things have happened (many of them involving the Rams).

Hiring Rivera could be seen as a tactic to lure some of those fans away.

I don't really see it happening either, mind you. But yeah, it's possible.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

i'm not buying the reasoning behind the possibility of ron rivera going to the rams, but keep in mind...

...when gettleman was hired, he was told rivera was his head coach. he had no say so in the matter.

maybe this is an opportunity to plead his case for who he really wants?

Sean Peyton is also rumored for The Rams HC job

This is beyond silly. 

Any team that can consistently field top 10 defenses will always have a chance in Jan/Feb. And if not for our broken down secondary earlier in the year we may have been top ten this year too.

 A defense with as much talent as ours will still be good when Ron is gone, its the other side of the ball and special teams that has no consistency
