What have Rivera and Hurney been up to?

[Pimpdaddy]

prolly going over analytics on how not to suck...

So, first I told you all the team would finish 7-9 and then I predicted Rivera wasn’t going anywhere after this season.  Doing pretty good so far.

I think this meeting was to clarify and specify expectations --

When you fire someone, you meet with them, put them on an action plan, and then evaluate them based on the action plan.

(No not all people are fired that way--a few of you get fired every time you burn the fries, but you get the idea)

What do you think they talked about? I just picture them looking at memes all day. 

Rivera probably cried during the whole meeting and kept bringing up Cam's injured shoulder.

Without Cam, Rivera is just an ex coach.

Took 4 days of meetings for Hurney/Rivera to convince Tepper that Brenton Bersin is the answer.

Any market guy will tell you that success is defined as long term gains and mitigating downside risk. Warren Buffett once said, and I'm paraphrasing, that it is not about how many big wins you have, but it is about how many big losses you avoid.

 

Tepper sees this as a long game, I guarantee you. He is also a schemer and is willing to deal and risk. Thats the MO of an investment minded guy.

 

He is not going to abandon a stock because of bad short term performance... but he will also sell high.

 

He is telling Ron and Marty how he wants things ran. He has a 2 time coach of the year and a vet GM who has relationships and experience around the league. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of both. He is setting expectations.

 

I wonder who the 'buy low' guys will be, I wonder who the blue chip dividend earners are identified as and (most importantly) I wonder where we will sell high.

I would have far less concern about Russians having a meeting about a wall in Berlin.

This is pretty much it.  No one on this board has had the success of Tepper and probably not the foresight he has either.  He's also been around the NFL a long time and knows the ups and downs that come along with a franchise.  We just made the playoffs last year. If we aren't in them next year there will be changes.

Another winner.

Kudos.

This isn't the stock market.

Stock markets don't have 16 game seasons, playoffs and championships.

You win and lose on an annual basis in this game. Playing to win in five years is a pretty stupid approach.
