Is Rivera Done Now?

[Guest]

We can probably go ahead and assume the candidates are all defensive coordinators.

 

Sure wouldn't want to break the mold or do anything that might mean taking a chance or paying a coach a lot of money.

 

yeah cuz all the defensive coaches we've had have led us to so many winning seasons....wait.

The only response DG can have is to deny it....

That means nothing, he can't admit to it

Its pointless to fire Rivera mid season. Its not going to save the season and it would be purely for show. We are stuck with this guy for 11 more games.

Exactly.

 

You don't fire you HC in mid season unless you think that you may have the answer on your coaching staff.  This staff has no one ready to be a HC.  So, you run with Rivera this season and quickly make a change at the end of the season.

i love throw away seasons and half seasons.

Whether he is currently "done" or not, I highly doubt he gets fired during the season.

Agreed. We will not fire a coach mid season.

Season already going down the toilet before Halloween..... With the way this team plays makes me lose interest in the rest of the NFL. Sucks that you wait months for the season and this team can drain all interest out of you.

Rivera was done almost a whole season ago dude

Other than protection adjustments on delayed blitzes, it is pretty ignorant to point the finger at Ron after this embarrassing loss.  We lost a lot by not scoring a TD on Smith's dropped pass and again on Lafells dropped pass on 4th and 1.

 

From my limited view, Ginn should now be our #1 wr and push Lafell down to #3.  Ron will be fired after this year so we can have a celebration then, but to point this loss to any one individual person is retarded.  

 

Shula, it's time to start thinking when they are having success blitzing pretty much the same type of blitz every time, and you fail to make adjustments.  When was the last time two different MLB had two sacks in the same game?  Wharton sucks but not much else we can do about that.

New season, different players, same mental mistakes, same lack of focus

Ron Rivera is not a leader of men

This. I worried about this from the first training camp when Zod said it was like a summer camp for 8-year olds. The signs were there from the beginning, but Rivera's rhetoric sounded so sweet.

I don't see why some of you want Rivera to finish out the season. I don't care who comes in right now but they need to make a change.

I don't even care if that person is less qualified than Rivera. They just need someone that pushes these players and gets the most out of them. Install this mentality this year so atleast these guys can be somewhat ready to work for a real coach next season.

Having these players just going through the motions for the remaining 12 games is just a waste of time and just developing bad habits for these guys even more than they already have.

I don't know that it's so much people wanting him to as people just expecting that he will.

 

Realistically, you're not going to improve the team with a midseason firing, especially given that the pool from which you'd choose your interim coach isn't exactly one that's loaded with head coaching experience.

i would love to see jerry take a chance on a potential candidate and see if someone can come in and turn this season around. with motivation and proper focus/management we could still be 4-3 going into the falcons game.
