Head Coach Rankings

Hesitancy to play rookies is not solely a Rivera thing and never has been solely a Rivera thing. 

Notice that last year, rookies under Ron Rivera played 833 snaps. The two teams in the Super Bowl (Patriots and Eagles) had rookie snap counts of 885 (Eagles) and 597 (Patriots).

Furthermore, Rivera is one of 6 coaches who has been to the playoffs at least four out of the last five years. The other coaches are Belichek, McCarthy, Tomlin, Reid, and Carroll.

I’ve already shown how reluctant Belichek is to play rookies so let’s look at the others. Rookies under Reid played 410 snaps (the least amount in the NFL), rookies under Tomlin played 853 snaps, rookies under McCarthy played 1,155 snaps, and rookies under Carroll played 1,289 snaps. NOTICE, the two teams out of the six mentioned that had rookies playing over 1,000 snaps DID NOT make the playoffs.

Hell, last year’s offensive rookie of the year and this year’s potential NFL MVP in Alvin Kamara received a TOTAL OF 4 MORE TOUCHES THAN MCCAFFREY LAST YEAR. Snaps and utilization were not an issue for McCaffrey last year as he was given the same opportunity as Kamara.

This nonsense about Ron not playing rookies needs to stop. He sees how the guys perform and practice and he knows what they are comprehending from the playbook.

The “rookie argument” is lazy.

Sorry but i said a long time ago that i cant take a discussion serious when people on here try to compare this team to the Patriots who have won multiple championships. Ron isnt even in the stratosphere of Belichick to be comparing coaching tendencies.  The other coaches you named have championships and more success too. Ron hasn't won a title, so obviously what works for them clearly isnt working for him. Just the bottom line.

Every coach has weaknesses and every coach is stubborn. Belichick is easily the best coach of the past 15 years or so and even he blew a Super Bowl last year letting a backup QB carve up his defense while arguably his best DB sat in anguish on the sidelines because Belichick was butthurt about him.

*Ignores all statistics presented to him, comes up with his own statistics, and says Ron is a bad coach because I say so*

This screams I don’t know what I’m taking about.

- Belichek had a 37-45 record during his time with Cleveland and did not win his first super bowl until the seventh year of his career (this Rivera’s eighth year). Let’s also not act like he hasn’t benefited from the greatest player in NFL history.

- Andy Reid has NEVER won a Super Bowl. In Andy Reid’s 20 year’s as a head coach he has zero Super Bowl wins.

- It took Pete Carroll eight years to win a Super Bowl and he has exactly one in his 13 year career.

- Mike McCarthy has one Super Bowl win in 13 years.

- Mike Tomlin has one Super Bowl win in 12 years.

You simply have no idea what you are/were talking about and are continuing to spew of garbage.

The coaches of the most cosistent teams in the past 5 years average exactly one Super Bowl win in around 13 years of coaching (outside of Belichek).

You clearly don’t understand just how hard it is to win a Super Bowl while at the same time maintaining consistency. The best teams maintain consistency while winning Super Bowls and the only two teams to do that in recent history are the Steelers (because of Kevin Colbert) and Patriots.

A few years ago this place was great place to talk football because people could back up what they were saying with facts. Now it’s all, “well I don’t think Rivera is a good coach because I said so.” You are certainly entitled to your own opinion but know at least every possible statistic other than this foolish website (run by a journalist graduate from Northwestern who has no coaching experience) says your opinion is wrong.

Thank you. These people are absurd. They just repeat what they once heard.

WTF are you trying to say

... so, does the draw to cmc with 0:15 on the clock affect Rivera's ranking at all?

Only if Rivera suddenly started calling plays on offense.
