Most teams only interview three or four guys at the most. Many only interview two.

with the way our season just went I was sure they would at least try to get us someone decent. You can't just select from 4 DC's and hope to get a huge turnaround from a team that just finished 2-14. Why not interview with a successful OC or a NCCA HC that was a winner? JR feels like he is losing the fan base, fans want to see points scored, not 10-3 games, JR needs to do the best to attract the fans interest again

Are we the ones that have 10? If so I'm fine, I just want to win.

Many people had Rivera near or at the top of their lists from the beginning.

I'm not going to give some college coach control over personnel no matter how angry he looks on the sideline.

Rivera is a solid hire. He's not some cheap out. He's probably one of the most successful DC in recent years, so yeah, I'll take him.

Ryan won't work as DC. Rivera will want someone who will just implement Rivera's scheme and help him run it.

Ron was pushed out of Chicago because he butted heads with Lovie. Smith wanted more control of the defense (even though they were ranked #1), kept telling Rivera what to do, and Ron just kept ignoring him and doing his own thing with great success. That's not the official story, but it's why he ended up gone from Chicago.

And it tells me Ron is going to run the defense. And I'm happy with that. If I had to guess our new DC, it would be whoever the LB or DB coach in San Diego is.

I believe the organization understands in today's NFL balance is required, and I expect that will be reflected with the OC and QB coach. If the organization finds the right men to coach the offense, I expect Rivera will transition well as a HC.

The best way to attract fan interest will be wins. Regarding going for "getting some decent" or "NCAA HC" as it relates to fans interest - see Seifert fiasco and how Spurrier turned out of which our fan base was clamoring for.

JR then JR/Hurney have done a good job of picking HC's exept for the Seifert fiasco - and the last time they went DC the turnaround was pretty quick and big. I am going to trust the front office on this and like its Rivera over the Giants D Cooridator. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the staff unfolds, then what they do with the #1 pick.
