I think Rivera needs to go, but really

I dnt care who the coach is. But Beane better not be the GM.

Rivera is so much better of a coach then some people want to make him out to be. It's hilarious. you'd think we weren't competitive and looked like we didn't even belong in the NFL with some fans.

Until about 5 weeks "we" (they) didn't.

yeah, they've hung in games. I do worry about some of his mismanagement but he puts them in a position to get there, and that's a start.

nice sig video, by the way

for the overall topic -- I really doubt Beane is promoted. While I have my worries about Accorsi's own cronyism, he's an outside guy. So Accorsi might interview the guy but you don't have to worry about him making JR's type decisions, like going after names from the past, going after a JDR or Mike McCoy, or dropping in an interim GM or a former staffer like Tony Softli.

It's not that we were outblown those games. (without being pro or contra RR)
