Assistant Coach Options

[Mr. Scot]

As far as receiver coaches, there's Charlie Joiner of the Chargers (that'd be interesting).

Rivera would also have worked with Bears WR coach Daryl Drake, another guy who joined the team the same year as Rivera. But given that when you think of great receivers the Bears aren't exactly the first team that comes to mind, I'm not sure how much I'd like that idea.

Yeah man and Cowher as special teams coach

Yea Gruden as WR coach, Wishenhunt as RB, and Chan Gailey as LB coach

[Mr. Scot]

Article up on the team site detailing the firings now (link) so they might be done.

Anyone think they might give the receiver job to Ricky Proehl?

Jim Skipper back for RB coach!!!! Double Trouble were at their best with Skipp

[Mr. Scot]

Quick look at the LB coaches from staffs that are currently in flux didn't turn up much in the way of linebacker coaches with Rivera ties. Well, except for Bob Babich, the guy that Lovie Smith replaced him with (something tells me that's a no go).

There is a former Panthers guy out there in Billy Davis, but he has no ties with Rivera.

Correction to that. Rivera tried to get Babich when he first got the Panthers job. Knowing that, would be no surprise if he tries to get him now.
