Rivera rarely fixes his mistakes. That leads to situations like NO beating us 3 times last year and a SB loss. 

You do realize that coaches don't trade for players and this is the GM's job.  My guess is Hurney told him nada on grabbing a free agent safety and Ron can't really say anything other than what he just said.

True but the coach usually echos what the GM tells him. But he could be blowing a smokescreen so Hurney can trade for a safety and get a better deal.

Being right about Richardson, Shula, etc. I still know Rivera is a problem that holds this team back. Sure there are worse coaches but with the talent we have we need a better coach to go with them to get this team over the top. We've seen it before and it's the case now. 

If Rivera wasn't such a worthless(literally worthless) gameday coach he might actually be a top 5 coach in the league even with his piss poor talent evaluation skills(playing the right person only after numerous injuries each and every fugin time). His total gameday ineptitude will and does cost this team every year. If your coach doesn't make calls/plays/schemes that win games he definitely can't be the one to cost a team games....but here we are.  Right now Norv is a coach on this team that can actually scheme or design a win and you can see it clearly(not that he should be HC just an example of what I mean)

Meanwhile Rivera literally goes into prevent every lead we ever get....we really gonna have Dak and then Dalton tossing up w/e passes to clinch games all the time? nope. Rivera has the wrong mentality from the jump and it's honestly why I can sort of get on board with Sean Payton even though I hate him but he definitely tries to finish teams and as a fan you want that.

The second half of our schedule includes Lions, Saints, Bucs, Falcons and Steelers. All those teams have extremely good WR's, and I get the feeling that the offense will bail the defense out and Ron will decide we don't need a serviceable safety. Then when it comes to our final stretch where we will need a pivotal win against the Saints, the safety will get abused and cost us.

Exactly this

It's tough because Ron is a legit good guy and I think he does a good job actually teaching. He just really is the worst gameday coach I think I've ever seen.

He's more stubborn than a GD mule when it comes to things like vet loyalty and making upgrades where we obviously need them.

TBQH He probably is so old school he doesn't see any need for DBs period, and thinks the game is still won in the trenches and with your DL and LBs controlling the run (archaic in today's league.)

I love him to death, but his inability to change the above will ultimately be his undoing.

Yea I like Ron too even if it may seem otherwise.  I am just stuck on his gameday/stubbornness like you said. I feel like we have good teaching/coaching up players from Matsko to Rivera himself but his in game moves subvert that in numerous incidents...

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
