Of the 4 candidates, I think only Eric Bieniemy will manage to command the respect Rivera had in the locker room

That's not to say Bieniemy is the only guy that can succeed here, but he'll have a leg up on the others. 

Whoever follows Rivera will be following a guy that played on the '85 Bears, was here 9 seasons, made a Super Bowl, and was extremely respected in the locker room. 

I don't see guys like Luke Kuechly coming in and immediately respecting a college coach (Rhule), a former coaching flameout that abandoned his new team after he managed to get a new job anyway (McDaniels), and a guy whose big knock was literally that he wasn't respected by guys in the locker room (McCarthy). Bieniemy is the only former NFL player of the 4 and has had huge success everywhere he's gone. This shouldn't be a hard decision if these end up being the 4 options.

Oh yeah - the respect to get doors blown off on defense time and time again

???

Are you thinking of someone else? Because he's only been an offensive coordinator, never a head coach or d-coordinator, so you can't really fault KC's defense on him can you? It would be like blaming Norv Turner for Donte Jackson.

I just think they have their choices already and are just kicking the tires since really no one else to interview since they are still playing. I think its between McCarthy and McDaniels.

You know he's interviewing with us this very morning right?

You might be right about being respected by the current players, but I don’t think 90% of the players from the 2019 team will be here in two years so who cares

I agree I don’t think respect of the current roster matters much. With respect to core guys like Luke and Cam, who are both experienced professionals, if whatever new coach we get runs a tight, focused well organized ship, those guys will recognize and respect that. Being a former player isn’t the sole path to respect.

    • Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando. 
    • As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.
    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
