I'm okay with waiting till the season is over, but the suggestion is correct.

It's time to start over.

That’s reasonable.... I am not sold on the fire Rivera train but he has been loyal to us and his teams overall are competitive.... mostly. No need to disrespect a member of our franchise.... people looks for jobs will know....

Well first 7 weeks of the season we were winning games and there wasn't much reason to be ripping Rivera. What has happened since is completely inexcusable and deserving of a house cleaning. 

100% agree but...

This type of season literally happens every other year. Not hard to see it coming this year

If you think that coaching is the issue.....  I'd make an appointment  with your health provider and ask for a thorough mental check-up.  Look at what the players of the Saints were doing tonight and compare that to what "our guys" did.....  Your answer might be in re-watching the game.

he's always been bad though. just because the players were able to overcome him at times doesn't mean he should be free from criticism. he's the same coach today in the midst of a 6 game losing streak as he was in 2015. terrible coach.

He's been inconsistent and has shown flashes of being great and being terrible, but never in his career up to this point has he ever looked as bad as this 6 game losing streak now. Never even close before this. Before this there were several good argument for keeping him (of course with arguments to replace him) but this rock bottom is the fork in him.

2011 and 2012 we were improving after Rivera inherited by far the worst team in the league in 2010. We were better than our record in 2014 despite drastic roster changes (for the worse) and kind of half rebuilding, so I give Ron credit for that year. The stretch from 2013-2015 was great. 2016 was a nightmare but we bounced back last year. If not for the second half of this year, overall I'd say Ron had been above average and well worth keeping, but 6 straight losses after 6-2 should never ever happen no matter what the circumstances are (even a hurt QB),

Coaching is an issue, but it's not the only issue.

House cleaning is needed.

His only winning seasons came under Dave and its because he's a bad coach. I really think we would have rebuild this year under DG. We are just to old and need better draft picks.

Have you seen how he manages his timeouts during games or is that all on the players too?

Have you seen him start players who don't deserve to be starters, or is that on the players too?

Has he only had 3 winning season in 8 years, or is that everyone else's fault?
