Reed: The Makings of a Head Coach

[Mr. Scot]

Steve Reed's profiles Ron Rivera (link)

the more I read about Rivera (and I may be pointing out the obvious), the more I feel this guy has an enormous amount of fire to prove everyone wrong and just win... baby, win...

[Mr. Scot]

It has some pretty good insight into his life. I wasn't aware the he was on the sideline for the Cal-Stanford play. That's pretty cool

One thing though. Lower part of the article says that when he was let go in 2006, he was replaced by Rod Marinelli :sosp:

Rivera interviewed for six head coaching jobs after the 2006 season but failed to land a job.

Despite those interviews, the Bears decided not to retain him as coordinator as head coach Lovie Smith instead hired Rod Marinelli, the guy he originally wanted for Rivera’s job three years before.

Rivera's DC replacement was actually Bob Babich, if I recall correctly.

Marinelli is the Bears DC now, but was with the Bucs and then the Lions back then.

Nothing new there, but great read nonetheless.

I don't recall anyone else mentioning that he was there for "the band is on the field" prior to this.

If I would have put the dates together, I probably would have noticed that, but all the research I've done on Rivera recently was regarding potential assistants, so it had more to do with who his colleagues and teammates were than what had happened

You just quoted Al Davis, that's a bad omen all together.

Well we know if a band ever gets in our way, its their asses!! I am telling you this is the Cat that is going to get us at least one Superbowl win during his time here.

It's all about to change.
