Rivera on his job

[Panthro]

Not a real fan of Shila, but to call a coach who has been both an NFL offensive coordinator and major college HC as "unknown" is a joke

Shula is an unknown as he could have improved quite a bit since he was fired from being the OC in tampa and the HC at Alabama

[rodeo]

Wow. I thought this would be a thread on Rivera going out and interviewing candidates for his open positions and stuff.

We'll get to that in a few weeks, now is the time for blankly staring at things.

lol. hell let's hire Denny Green, since it's unknown if he's improved after the 12 times he's been fired before.

[bleys]

Yes, it seems like we've been screwed once again. Hard to believe that this wasn't foreseen. Who wants a more-than-likely temporary OC position other than someone who is inexperienced or who had their chance before and blew it and wants another one.

No top notch guys are gonna want to come here.

an offensive coordinator who wants to interview as next HC...

Shula has never run anything like Chud's offense before and there's nothing to indicate he'd be able to. He's not a coryell guy.

how is he not a coryell guy, yet he's the one teaching Cam to run a coryell offense?

A lot of time has passed since he stunk it up as an OC/HC

I would hope he's better now but it's an unknown.

I'm sure the Patriots and Seahawks are glad they tried a retread.

is it still possible Gettlemen outs Ron and bring in another staff or is he handcuffed by Jerry's couple of words? They are just words...

[Darth Biscuit]

an offensive coordinator who wants to interview as next HC...

Yeah, that's about it... someone who's definitely looking to move up/on after next season.

[Bwood]

aww someones still butt hurt

About?

Is it the marriage that's getting to you? You're starting to make me reconsider proposing...

JR is Al Davis minus the SB wins and years of greatness.

[Chimera]

I think the team knew this was happening. That's why the WR coach and RB coach were let go, so a new OC could bring in his guys.

Ive been driving the Whisenhunt bandwagon for a good two months now. I definitely do not want Shula being promoted. Are the same people hyperventilating about Shula the same people who hyperventilated about Beane?

I think Jerry realizes he's in "win now" mode. He won't go with Shula unless its pure desperation.

Well, hopefully Gettleman brings in some top players to make up for the absence of coaching that we will yet again suffer next season.

Oh yeah, and it is up to Gettleman to hire the OC unless JR meddles, right? So, maybe we do get a guy who knows how to call plays and doesn't get caught up in being cute, or maybe Shula will best know how to call plays for the offense because he has worked most closely with Cam for two years.

Still plenty to be hopeful for. If the players are good enough and the OC is decent-good, we will win next year. Now, the bad part about that is Rivera will get credit for it.

ughh, your shriveled manhoods disgust me. Go eat some sweets, fatties, you'll feel better again soon.

This^ I mean come on guys you act like no one could have even considered this happening. I'm sure JR, Rivera, and Gettlmen( sorry sp his name not familiar with it yet) knew this was likely to happen.
