Here's a VERY realistic road map to Rivera being fired after the season...

We started 6-2 and I think it's going to take a miracle to go 9-7. Why? That 6-2 has already turned into 6-4 with back-to-back humiliating losses, including one on national TV. There is no chance in hell that we're beating the Saints either time we play them. So we're up to 6 losses. That means that to salvage a winning record after starting 6-2, we need to win 3 out of 4 between the Seahawks/Bucs/Browns/Falcons. Can that be done? It can, but I think it's 50/50 that we finish 8-8 or 9-7. If we miss the playoffs with an 8-8 record and get humiliated by the Saints twice in three weeks to close out the season after starting 6-2 there is ABSOfugINGLUTELY a chance that Rivera gets fired, especially with a new owner. Missing the playoffs after starting 6-2 would be one of the biggest disasters in our history. I prefer us to go 9-7 even if it means keeping Rivera one more year just so we can get that monkey off our backs, but if firing Rivera is the consolation prize, I'm completely down with that.

I’m willing to accept this team losing the remainder of the games if it guarantees Rivera being fired to be quite honest. 

Great fan--WTF  kind of comment/ attitude .

Lets hire Condeleeza  Rice for gods sake.

Honestly that Steelers game forever in my eyes sealed his fate. Anything short of a playoff run all but guarantees his firing. I don’t believe Mr.Tepper appreciated being emasculated on live T.V like that to his old bosses or whatever.

I’m really doubting that this team can go on the road and beat anyone on our remaining schedule. I’m also doubting that we can even beat the Aints once or the Falcons. Seriously wouldn’t be surprised if we finish 7-9.

Not sold on the idea that Tepper fires anyone after this season, but finishing at .500 or worse after a 6-2 start might be enough.

You could be spot on.
