Coaching changes likely on the way.

[Mr. Scot]

Jonathan Jones pointed out that Steve Wilks isn't necessarily a slam dunk.

Wilks is still respected in the league as a defensive coach. He may well get better offers from teams whose head coaches are not on one-year contracts.

As has been mentioned, the same can be said for a lot of other assistants.

It was all for nothing with Rivera being retained. He can’t be trusted, and he’s shown that time and time again. It’s a shame you have to protect a head coach from his own stupidity, and we just failed at that. Prepare yourselves for more of the same. 

[Mr. Scot]

Even if you fire the existing guys, you're still trusting the hiring of the new guys to the same person who believed in Eric Washington, Richard Rodgers and Mike Shula.

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.

As I noted in a post above, I'm betting that ol' Ron has a large pool of buddies that he can pick from that he has developed over his career to replace his current on-staff buddies.

I can almost guarantee, if left to Ron, that is the pool any "new" coaches will come from.

And, that being the case, to actually get assistants with a fresh perspective on Rivera's staff, it would have to be someone other than Ron or Marty doing the hiring.

And if THAT is what has to happen to infuse a change in perspective on Rivera's staff, why is Ron being allowed to stay in the first place?

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

Its so frustrating that the people in charge dont understand this

Its hilarious going back and reading that article about Ron having a sitdown with John Madden and talking about not doing things by the book because there is no proverbial book yet EVERYTHING he does is what you would consider by the book. Playing conservative, building a team around running the football and playing defense, soft zone defense when playing with a lead, always promoting from within, always playing vets over more talented younger players. Youre not fooling anyone Ron

Not that it will make a difference anyway.

Like a smart man Tepper is taking his time, and doing research on what are the options for replacements etc.   I say good on him, make an informed decision find a replacement that is good.

Actually, it's Ron's move.  Tepper gave him direction but Ron is thinking of what his next move will be.  I'm not sure how much time he has to respond however.  Ron sucks at chess.
