I may be wrong but didn't JR get rid of Fox due to lack of back to back winning seasons?  

Fox knew he was done before week 1.  Rivera ain’t in Foxland yet.

peope act like we are in a bad spot.  This is actually a good spot based on Rivera’s history.

If this was to play out like Fox then next year would be his "lame duck" year.  JR has gone on record saying he doesnt want to let go of a coach before his contract is up.  Just like Fox's last year here, everyone knew after the previous season had ended that the next year was it for Fox.  What happened? We ended up with the number 1 pick.  I really hope JR has learned from this and is willing to cut ties with his head coach before his contract is up.  I dont think I can make it through another "lame duck" year

JR didn't really "get rid of" Fox at all. He just let his contract run out without renewing it.

Rivera's contract runs at least two more seasons.

Has he really gone on record with that, or are we just all using the past to expect this?

 

I can't recall.

10-6 probably gets us in the playoffs this year.  I'd be shocked if you fire a coach with a 63-48 lifetime record making the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years.  If he wins a playoff game he gets a 3-year extension, otherwise he gets a 2-year extension.

8,9, or 10 wins but no playoffs gets him no extension and a lame duck year.

a losing season, and I think he is toast.

I'm leaning towards they get at least 1 more year no matter what, unless we  go 4-12 or 5-11. A worse performance than last year would most certainly get them canned pretty quick. But anything around 7-9 or better and it gets into the murky territory of them getting one last season to turn things around.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
