I'm hearing RIvera is out if we lose Sunday.

Yeah, definitely has ears on whats happening behind closed doors. I would not post it if I didn't think it was fairly reliable. There really is no upside of me posting it. If its right people will say I was lucky, if not they will say I was full of crap. I just post for the handful of people who find it interesting.

I don't doubt you and it's an interesting tidbit, regardless. It just seems if you add everything up, there's too much smoke for there not to be fire. The look on Rivera's face in Mondays press conference, Rivera's comment about getting over the hump seemed more urgent than the norm, and there's more I just can't think of them at the moment. I have hard time believing that the DG/Rivera meeting earlier this week was strictly about personnel moves.

Lost season if Rivera is fired. At least if he's retained we will probably go on a late season run to keep things interesting. I hate losing with a passion and would prefer screwing up draft position and firing Rivera during the offseason when you can get someone who isn't a low level position coach to run things.

 

Not sure about that. It would signify a house cleaning is coming and players would be on notice.

 

And really, could someone do worse that Rivera at game management?

Gettleman is in his first year and making a first impression on Richardson. He doesn't strike me as a guy willing to let his reputation be dragged down by someone else's incompetence.

Only thing I think hurts....is he schemes well around our defensive weaknesses. We have some big ones.....and he smoke and mirrored us to a top 10 D last year.

I think that is Rivera not McD

Makes sense if it was going to be a mid-season firing, would give the new guy a couple weeks before the next game. 

 

I don't recall where I read that JR wasn't a big Rivera fan but ultimately went the recommendation of Hurney and his staff. 

 

If we lose on Sunday and this is true, it will make for an interesting couple weeks before traveling to Arizona.

From what I hear, defensive players really like and respect McD. They don't hesitate to say he is legit even when off the record. Compared to how they talked about Ron Meeks, its night and day.
