Those Redskin fans are a realistic lot...

Good news for Ron is that Allen is out of the way. Only an idiot like Snyder would keep an idiot like Allen around as long as he did.

 

Oh wait, JR fired Hurney then hired him again

then Tepper kept him around

Apparently it wasn't Ron's defense. If it was, then where was that defense after McDermott and Wilkes left?

Basically Ron's defense is no defense for only having 3 winning seasons while he was here.

Without Cam and, well, I'll throw Keek in there... without those two he doesn't last more than 3 years as a coach.

Good guy, decent mentor, not a coach you hire if your main goal is to win. 

You could certainly give McDermott and Wilks credit... I think that had a big influence, but I think the biggest hit to the defense wasn't the playcallers leaving but the loss of talent... Norman left, who was a shutdown corner for us... KK declined after getting paid. TD declined... CJ who was our best pash rusher after Hardy left, declined and then retired. On and on. You still need talent... we saw some remnants of what Rivera could do towards the end of last year on D, the Saints game in particular... but of course the fact that he had Washington as D-coordinator for so long is why so many of us was happy to see him go. 

Not gonna waste my breath defending a guy I wanted gone as well, I simply meant to say that I think he did do some good things here, that wasnt directly attributed to Cam and Luke, but obviously not enough good things, which is why he's gone.

Snuck over to the skins forum and fans are generally pretty stoked.

what a naive bunch they are. 

i saw one idiot suggesting that Cam held Ron back. Between that and another poster saying that Ron is a master at "switching it up both in-game and each and every year" I closed out of the internet and shook my head for a while.

Skin fans, get ready for 60 months (or less) of this:

i was one of them.   lost my mind over it and was very vocal about it.   ron is a minority and nobody called me a racist.  as soon as i blamed the appropriate party, cam, evidently that's the day i joined the kkk

They'd have to get a QB who can do magic and carry that team if they're going to get 11-12 wins with him.

That sounds like every team that's currently in the playoffs, donchta know??

I think the label indicates he's past his expiration date.

I don't believe all of these analysts and pundits realize just how many times Cam had to drag Ron across the finish line in multiple games. You can tell they've hardly watched any Panthers games from all the praise Ron has been getting.

Believe me they realize it. They just don't want to give Cam the credit he deserves.

I think it’s both. They say a lot of stuff that makes it plain they don’t pay attention to us.

The way I see it, Rivera is good for the Redskins.

Does he have some glaring weaknesses?  Definitely.  Am I happy we parted ways?  Yes.

But his biggest strength is focusing the culture of a team.  That is one of the things the Redskins desperately need right now.
