“Riverboat” Ron Rivera plays it safe yet again.

[panthers55]

The idea of Ron going to Washington likely came from his agent to one of the insiders who reported it. That way any other team wanting to have him would express interest so Ron wouldn't sign with Washington and give them a chance. If he signs with Washington today, either there wasn't a bunch of expressed interest or the ones he wanted to go to weren't hiring.  Sounds like having more control over the team is more important than the division or current roster. I wonder if Norv wants to coach in Washington again.

It’s a great situation for him. Washington has a lot of talent. Ron’s hangup here the last few seasons has been Sean McDermott and Steve Wilks leaving. He couldn’t replace them on defense and he can’t handle calling plays and being the HC at the same time.

steve Wilks will go with him and will be like Dick Lebeau forever being just what he should be,.. a DC.

young quarterback and a lot of talent and a great place to live. They also have the 2nd pick and could very well trade Haskins and draft or make a trade for Cam Newton.

poo,.. we should trade them Cam and Luke,... stock up on draft picks and start this biach all over again with Tua and offensive line picks.

This guy said he wanted to coach for a winner yet ended up with a perennial loser.  You have to almost appreciate how clueless he is for ever thinking a winning franchise would want him.  Bravo, Ron.

This board won't know what to do if he starts winning in DC

That division isn’t as bad as it seems. The Cowboys and Eagles could easily both be really good next year. That’s probably an automatic 4 loses before he even steps in the building.

He will have them in playoffs in 2 years. That roster isnt as bad as you think.

QB seems like the biggest question but I don’t doubt that playoffs are a possibility. Dline is going to be great, LBs are good, safety is good, receiver looks to be very good, RB should be fine if he can stay healthy.

Ron is a culture change/turnaround guy so my guess is he'll have them in the playoffs in two years.  After that who knows.

I will ask why he couldn't do that here.

He just wanted another chance to put Josh Norman in his doghouse

Seems the redskins are happy about getting him. I guess they never seen him come out in 2nd half with game adjustments or clock management. Both of which are horrible.

We’ve never seen him with a 2nd half game plan adjustment either.

dont know about the great place to live or the tua part...but all else I agree with

Well Tua having a Bo Jackson type of injury might mean the end of him.

Haskins is a big question mark for them, but a question would be would they make a trade for Cam and or Luke?

they have enough talent and money otherwise to win with a solid coaching staff.

[DeAngelo Beason]

Safe... taking a job on a horrible team in one of the most popular football markets in the country.  Yeah.  Playing it safe.

There's a very good chance that Rivera has the Redskins relevant and challenging for the championship before the Panthers are again.

He's a good coach, things just wore out here.

And we'll be coached by??? We don't know and we have no idea of the quality of that coaching to be.
