Rivera will be back

[Kevin Greene]

Chud is not going to get canned as long as Rivera is there.

If the new GM decides to retain Rivera, he could certainly insist it be with the caveat that Chud goes down the road.

[SauceBoss]

Its official. Rivera will be back. I think chud will be scapegoat at end of season though

[KJ89]

If that's the case, GTFO RIVERA

Yeah. It's that important

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Rivera deserves to be back and I really can't figure out why that is so hard for you guys to understand

The Matt Moore of coaching staffs.

He lost to the Chiefs and beat a Chargers team that gave up on the season 5 weeks ago

This isn't the Raiders, we dont' give up on improving coaches in just 2 years of his first years as a Head Coach at any level. You may think they will be trying to get a GM that wants a new coach, but consider they may just want a GM that reflects Rivera wishes for personel(ie not having 30 LBs and RBs).

I don't understand where you're coming from.

Time and time again he has proven that he's terrible in late game, close score situations. That's where coaches truly earn their checks. Rivera has repeatedly failed in those situations.

Maybe it's because we watched good ole Ron along with his buddy Chud throw away our season before the bye week.

If JR hadn't been so pissed off that he fired Hurney, I don't have a doubt in my mind we would have continued running the same crap system all year.

That's why.

Wasnt it just last week the chargers dominated the Steelers in pittsburgh?

It is funny how polarized so many people are about Rivera. Regardless of whether he stays or goes, the team is finally developing chemistry with backups making great plays. Reminds me a lot of 2004 again. Problem is that I seem to remember saying that last year as well.

[Salvo]

He just may have given himself one more year by the skin of his teeth...unless he blows it against the Raiders and the Saints.

I've been critical of his performance this year but if he can pull it off and win the rest of the season, I'd be comfortable with him staying another year. At the very least it gives the team some continuity, especially when the team is playing hard for him now.

[PantherKyle]

I'd say yes if we had not fired Hurney. The new GM will acknowledge that the same thing happened last year. A new HC is coming.

[LinvilleGorge]

I just hope Jerry puts the decision in the hands of the next GM and let's Accorsi do his thing in terms of finding that GM.
