Why don't we make mid-season coaching changes?

Midseason firings means inserting in-staff interims. They do well enough, they take the role full time.

Ask yourself whether you want that with the staff we want now. I don't think I want that.

Our season isn't done yet but I'm all for firing rivera . If we lose next two games he should be gone

Let's play what if.  What if the franchise fired Rivera right now. 

Sure, Norv could take over as interim HC, but think about that a sec.  That moves Norv out of the box and back to the sideline . . . making it much harder for him to call the game.  Norv has never really shown the ability to be a HC and an OC.  He's been a *fantasic* coordinator compared to what we have had . . . pretty much ever.  Do we want to risk screwing that up?

Ok, so not Norv.  Washington?  LOL.  Who then? 

Norv is the only one who could do it, and it would adversely affect our offense.  So Norv as HC.  Where does that leave us?

Does that fix our biggest problem?  HARDLY!  Our defense is the problem, and firing Rivera puts Washington all alone trying to run our defense!  That's not likely to end well.

The bottom line is that there is no version of firing Rivera that makes us a better team right now.  All bets are off once the season ends, but right now, there is no version of canning Rivera that improves our team.  Sorry.

If Rivera demoted or fired Washington he’d probably just promote his buddy Richard Rogers to dc. I think Ron  looks at it like he hired him if he demoted or fired him it would show it made a bad choice. And we all know he don’t admit or take responsibility for mistakes

Maybe they're afraid people will stop coming if we tank, but i doubt it since the psl's are sold. Richardson always wanted to model the shittsburgh fugs (which why they haven't done anything in 50 years) and the aim for continuity was there. May be the same thing for Tepper but he will be more open minded about who he brings in.
