Dave Gettleman & Ron Rivera On WFNZ The Drive at 4 and 5pm Today

[rayzor]

lol he actually said rome wasnt built in a day.

[Judo Thoreau]

Brandon Beane was his mentor. Interesting.

[FootballMaestro]

He was asked about having a HC on the team, after he said he could have used/needed one previously. And he kinda laughed it off, and claimed that he already took the lumps himself, which seems like he won't do it anymore. He said if he finds one; yes! But he doesn't feel it's paramount anymore.

He also reiterated, he "could match X & O's with anyone, but he had to learn to manage and micro-manage the coaches, coach the coaches, the team, etc., and even bigged up Brandon Beane big time, for helping him understand the various parameters and responsibilities of his job. WTF!? LOL

When asked about him being too passive, he claimed that was the first 8 games, but said not the last 8. He said "watch him". He also said, that when Cam got hurt in NO, he said he didn't go out to Cam, he said, he went out to the O-Line and yelled at them, saying "This Can't Happen Again!".

He claimed he was more passionate, said "watch me (to the host)", and had no problem admitting that he was learning, continues to learn, but nonetheless is better prepared for 2013.

Damn!! As much as I don't want to like this guy: You can't help but like or respect his clueless ASS!! LOL

I hope it works out for him.

That was for you Ivan The Awesome. I know you couldn't get the feed.

He is one, long, run one sentence, being repeated over and over again.

It's a process. He's learning. He doesn't need a former HC to assist him as he 'learned his lessons in year two'.

My problem with a lot of what he says is common sense and he acts like it is a great revalation, 'when Cam got hurt, I didn't go to Cam, I went to the offensive line and said, ''this can't happen' again' '

thank you Captain Obvious....you are the HC...You should not have to have 'two years on the job' to learn to do something like that.

Dear God, I'm actually more concerned now than I was before, like it matters.

[Gabeking]

Can someone post a Link when the interview comes online please?

[rayzor]

lot of strong talking. lot of passion. lot of determination. also a lot of justifying/excuse making.

sounds like he's grown some and i'll probably have to listen to it again to understand him completely because he was talking so fast and my daughter decided she wanted to play with stuff on my desk so i was kind of distracted.

i hope he comes into the season with that much uuumph.

it was a pretty good talk, but right now it's just that...talk and while i know he's concerned about it, he's got to get results...and not barely getting by results, not "growth" but wins. that's all that matters.

[Blackmagic]

LOL at Rivera saying Harbaugh did good because he had good players already and he didnt

But it's true and they're more attractive to free agents (Rogers).

I was impressed with him speaking. I had a lot to learn and hopefully he did. I do understand him for choosing Shula, but I just don't agree with it. We'll see what happens.

Well what do you want him to say? You'd rather him talk himself down about how shytty of a coach he is the whole time? This is public radio nothing earth shattering ever comes out of these interviews..

[rayzor]

Brandon Beane was his mentor. Interesting.

i'm not sure what to think about that.

[TheRed]

He doesn't need a former head coach to assist him, lol.

Brandon Beane as his mentor.. What is this, another dimension?

[Blackmagic]

Brandon Beane was his mentor. Interesting.

He didn't say that or imply that. Beane just said that he should show more emotions instead of keeping it all in. He also spoke with another coaches.

[BiG_E_DuB]

Guys...that was a good interview. That was the most passionate I think i've ever heard Rivera before. I think he could tell that Marc was asking his questions in his usual demeaning tone and had enough. I highly recommend everyone listen to it when it gets posted. Gets me pumped for 2013

Look, I am a PSL holder. I want this guy to succeed; however, to be in this league this many years and not get the basic concept of how to lead and motivate people, i'm sorry that is really concerning.

If you didn't take it that way, your perogative.

I want him to tell me what he plans to do to make this team better, a team not to be embarrassed on National TV.

I look at his coaching staff compared to the top tier teams in the league and he's not there.

If he's talking about his 'xs and os' well, he'll have a chance against two to the best this year in Harbaugh and Bellinchik. Let's see how he does.

I want a whole lot less run on sentences and a lot more feeling that there is a plan of what they are doing. I dont see it.

[Gin and Juice]

Beane is 6-4 as an interim GM! I think the fans are selling him short in a major way
