Rivera shuts down any questions about job security.

[OneBadCat]

I agree. Can Ron now, let Turner take over and we can at least have some fun with the offense. 

[BIGH2001]

Ron's loyalty is what will ultimately cost him his job.  He's a good motivator apparently and his players play hard for him.  The Washington hire  is what will do him in. 

[Shocker]

Time to send Riverboat on down stream.

I'm glad Jourdan Rodrigue had the courage to ask him that question. These other reporters are so scared to ask him the important questions that we all want answers to. Ron knows it's over!

Are you ready for David Newton's article tomorrow talking about what Cam wore at the post game presser?

[Mr. Scot]

Geez, Ron. At least take it like a man.

Hell, Rodrigue has been one of his bigger apologists.

I want Rivera gone, but I don’t think he should be disrespected publicly 

Good reporters ask the tough questions and good head coaches accepts them and answers maturely.

Rivera’s in defensive mode and this culture has fostered going easy on the team for far too long. It’s time we get people asking the real questions.

I love Jourdan Rodrique.  Awesome!

I do too. Aside from the Cam fiasco last year she is damn good at her job and she will ask the questions no one else will

Tepper owes it to the fan base to make a change now.  

Seriously - WTF would that accomplish ?  Humiliate Ron and then what ?

[Anybodyhome]

"Do not ask that question again," or what?

Seriously Ron, what are you gonna do, stare at her? 

GTFO.

Why? He’s gone. Why fire him now? What could that possibly accomplish? It’s not like we are handing the team to Norv. Rivera has run his course but why embarrass him and cause chaos? 

Because he’s embarrassed this franchise for 7 fuging years fug him he doesn’t deserve to board the plane or bus back to the stadium 

[FugAllY'all]

fug this piece of poo. Literally runs his bell cow into the ground and then won't cop to any responsibility. He's a coward and loser, I wish his fuging house actually burned down with him in it.

[Cookie Lyon]

I know he can't really say what he actually believes in this situation, but come on, Kalil. This is completely on the clueless head coach.

ron rivera has repeatedly got angry at journalists for asking tough questions

how can you even consider yourself a head coach if you can't take things on the chin when the going gets tough 

that shows no leadership whatsoever, especially when he throws his own players under the bus

 

To be fair, I always find it disrespectful to ask a coach about their job security.  What are they supposed to say?  Not blaming the reporter for asking, but I don't think you can blame a man for feeling sensitive about having their paying job questioned after having it for 8 years.  And while we may dislike Rivera the coach, he's a great man so I hope he doesn't have his character assassinated by spiteful fans.

But yea Ron is done.
