If Rivera goes 9-7 in 2013...

[hitman80]

...and we miss the playoffs by one game, I wonder how everybody would react? Keep him? Fire him?

[Double Trouble]

Fire

[SuperJTheGreat]

Should fire his ass the first time we get the ball within 2 minutes and use a timeout to set up a play.

[Fox007]

If we reach 7 losses at any point next year he should be gone.

[hitman80]

Fire

That's what I was thinking this year after starting 2-8. But everybody changed their tune after the strong finish.

[Sloth]

He'll be kept. No reason to pay TWO coaches.

[Black]

That's a tough one. I think he would get canned simply because, while that's a substantial improvement in three years, it would still fall short of everyone's expectations. If we somehow went 10-6 and missed, I think it would be a different story though.

10 wins should be the floor IMO

[mav1234]

depends on how the season goes, but I would be very unhappy with 9-7 next year, but firing him would depend quite a bit on what happened during the season itself.

hell, if we went 10-6 and missed the playoffs and lost 6 straight i'd also be pissed. :P

[iamcline]

Playoffs or bust.

[Growl]

zero excuse for this team to not have double digit wins next year

[SuperJTheGreat]

Thats what we said last year too, JR won't fire this man, as long as his millions are safe in Bojangles on Richardson Avenue.

[carolina-chuck]

We talking about 9 wins against our own Division, the AFC East, and NFC West? I'd be happy if we hit 7-9 again

[Keith Moons Liver]

as a rivera critic, I would actually not be upset with 9-7 when I look at our schedule and roster for next season. so it depends on how we got to that 9-7.
