Coaching changes likely on the way.

Bring back Steve Wilks?

Jonathan Jones says maybe not.

One thing that might be worth noting. It's not necessarily just that Rivera tends to favor "buddies". Most coaches and even GMs in the NFL are more prone to work with people that they know.

The problem is that Rivera isn't a very good  talent evaluator, and not just with players.

Making him pick from a larger pool is a good idea. Telling him that he can't just stick by his buddies regardless of whether they're good at their job or not is a very good idea.

Unfortunately, neither of those things guarantees that he'll make a good choice if he picks a replacement.

I'm sure quality coaching candidates will be lining up around the block to sign up to work for a coach who probably barely hung onto his job and will likely have the hottest seat in the NFL going into next season.

That's like saying a alcoholic should just move farther away from the liquor store. People don't fundamentally change unless they see a problem and I'm 100% sure Rivera doesn't.

Honestly, I think our best bet is to have Rivera continue to call the D and letting Norv completely take over the offense. Limit Ron's potential to meddle with the offense on game day.

Tepper is flexing his muscles, letting Ron know that the JR era is over. He’s giving Ron a chance to improve the coaching quality around him and show that he is more about winning than saving his friends. 

lol no

Is it even a forgone conclusion that Norv wants to come back for another year under this incompetent staff? 

What was his contract breakdown? I know Rivera had to talk him into returning as OC in the first place.

I don’t get into the weeds of assistant coaches deals. @Mr. Scot do you know? I’m guessing it’s tied to Ron's deal.

Rivera has to make changes at this point or he is going to get fired. Loyalty is his blind spot and has cost the season. Tepper needs to see Rivera can change.

i thought he would be fired by the end of the day no matter what...tricking him onto firing his coaches before they fire him causing bad blood with the others and him...

Tepper needs to come out and say he's totally invested in Rivera to avoid that. That means two more years.

Another reason keeping Ron around is a horrible idea.

About the length of Turner's existing contract? Nada. Contract terms for assistants rarely get reported on.

What I do know generally speaking is that assistant coach contracts tend to be two year deals. That would make sense in this case too, as it would align with the end of Ron Rivera's contract.
