How would you feel about Tepper if Rivera keeps his job?

[d-dave]

It would be great, odd year Rivera is always good for a winning season with a post season run.  I'm down for that.

It just depends on what Tepper's plan is as far as GM and coaching.  We sure love to rag on Ron, and he's earned his fair bit of it, but where do we go next?  Has Sean McVay lost his luster after the Rams started falling back to earth?  How many coaches out there are truly an upgrade in Tepper's eyes?

Also, Tepper watched the Steelers give lots of room to Cower and Tomlin after poor seasons only for them to come back and win the Super Bowl.

So who really knows.  If we are getting rid of a coach, I want an upgrade for sure, not a side or downgrade.

I'm not so much trying to inject anything as I am trying to exorcise something.

Specifically, I'm trying to clear the last evil spirits from the Jerry Richardson era out of our cursed abode.

i'd watch if it was raining, snowing, or just freezing and there were no outside activities to do.  my stomach is barely going to be able to look at that clown on the sidelines for 3 more games.  it would be a lot easier to deal with next year if the camera men and women never, ever showed rivera on the sideline.

I could live with it only if he paired him with a better GM.

I'd still think it was a mistake, though.

This is it. Obviously, Rivera worked with Gettleman but we were still back and forth. You can only coach the personnel that's out there and if you don't bring in good personnel, that's a problem. If you draft personnel and don't develop, that still boils down to GM. Hurney needs to go. If Rivera doesn't, then so be it, but something needs to be done. I don't think Hurney and Rivera are on the same page. I will be mad at Tepper if he does absolutely nothing after losing out at 6-10

Before the season I stated that this team has the talent to make some noise in the playoffs .  No playoffs , No Rivera ! Hurney might get a pass this year because he had a good draft .

What if JR put in the sale negotiations that Rivera can not be removed as head coach until his contract is up in 2020 as a way to protect Ron and his boy Marty?

Just a crazy thought....

Actually, that's not that crazy.

Yes it is.

You can't put any sort of conditions that affect the ability of the team to be competitive on a new owner.

I would imagine if two billionaires agree on the terms of a contract, they could put just about anything they want in it..  Not likely, but I don't think is COMPLETELY out of the question.

The NFL has to approve the sale. There's no way they would allow a condition like that.

Throw in that Tepper has removed every last item within the stadium that even hinted at Jerry Richardson's existence. Except the statue of course, and he seemed pretty pissed off about that. Doesn't exactly sound like someone who'd want additional conditions put on him by a guy he doesn't even seem to like.

So yes, it's COMPLETELY out of the question.

if rivera would wear the jackinthebox helmet, but with a lazy eye that rolls around, i'd be able to watch next year.

I remember way back Mr. Scot would never have anything bad to say about the team or anyone on it(sans criminal behavior)....boy that's how times change and how bad things have gotten.
