So you really think those accolades came from Riveras coaching?? 

I think they are his and you cant take them away from him...I think he is better than what you are trying to give him credit for...obviously if you start off by taking accolades away...

Better how? Thats what im asking, what is it Rivera actually does in your opinion. Awards aside because those are just results not the actual work.

No one in their right mind wanted Shula as OC... except Ron Rivera.

Ron strikes me as a guy that doesn't handle change very well.

Thats why he should never work a toll booth...Turner will make him a great coach...thats my take...

Still boggles my mind that it came to that.

I know Jackson and Rivera would never have worked, but Shurmur and Rivera were well acquainted. I'll also grant changing systems would have had its challenges, but I have a hard time believing that's why Rivera made the decision. If it was that big a deal, why ask him to interview in the first place?

What could have been will bother me for years.
