Looks like there's bad blood between Rivera and Lovie Smith

[CRA]

Rivera said it wasn't personal.

Rivera D

2005 -2nd rated defense

2006 -5th rated defense - D carried them to a Superbowl

(back to back winning seasons)

------------

2007 - uh, Ron....this isn't working...we uh, need to go in a different direction. It ain't personal...it is just I am scared people will want you to have my job.

2007 - 28th rated defense

2008- 21st rated defense

2009- 17th rated defense

2010- 9th rated defense

So I would say this is VERY personal for Ron. This isn't just a game for him....as he has said. Now, he can't say what he really wants.....even if he does say more than the last guy (there are still lines he can't cross)
