Head Coaches don’t grow on trees

I will be the first to point out Rivera can be frustrating, especially when it comes to personnel decisions. But to use the cliché expressions, “the grass is not always greener”, and head coaches don’t “grow on treees”.  Who would you actually replace him with if you had the chance, that would give us a better chance at  a super bowl?

I can’t really think of anyone without taking a huge risk on a novice, which isn’t warranted when we have a winning record.  Sure there may be better Xa and Os kind of guys, but it’s not an easy job to manage an NFL locker room and keep the team competing on a weekly basis.

Agreed......he is a good coach who is always open and honest about how the team is performing, and he handles the locker room extremely well. Today he said winning covers up a lot of the mistakes that were made in all three phases of the game and they did not have victory Monday. He knows we have many things we have to improve. At the end of the day he is a two time coach of the year and we are 3-1 to start the season. Anyone who claims that Rivera should be fired is.........insane. At the beginning of the year if you told me at a quarter way through the season we would start 3-1 after having almost all of your O line with backups playing, a TD 4 game suspension, missing your starting safety, and missing Olsen for almost a full 4 games.....I would say Rivera needs an extension.

It’s extremely frustrating when you see a coach making the same mistakes over and over. You would think that over time he could figure out how to eliminate or not make as many bone headed decisions.

Ron expects his players to perform at a high level, he shouldn’t expect anything less from himself.

Hopefully when the day comes, and it will, I hope Tepper wants an offensive philosophy from the top down.  Get a strong DC but make it about the offense.  That’s what wins championships now.  Richardson was always defense: Capers, Fox, Rivera.

It has been the entire existence of the franchise, it’s all we know.  We’re likely going to look back one day and wonder what Cam Newton’s career might have looked like under different leadership and philosophy.  The years of surrounding Cam with spare parts and pieces from around the league, or making the important O line an afterthought.

im not calling for his dismissal today because I don’t think that there is a better optoin available right now.  But when one is identified, we should go for it instead of resting on laurels.

There are solid head coaching candidates available every single year.

The notion that you can't fire the existing coach because there's nobody better is just ridiculous. That's the kind of philosophy that would have held on to Jeff Fisher instead of taking a chance on Sean McVay.

I guess I should have clarified.  Someone who's not already an NFL head coach?  Do you have a name?

look at sean mcveigh , he took the worst offense in the nfl to the best 

Sean McVeigh was a unique find.  Since the Rams were already pitiful, he was worth taking a risk.  Do you think we're there?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
