Is Ron Rivera an NFL Top 10 Coach?

Less than a year ago, 90% of us wanted him fired immediately.  I was very happy with the changes that Rivera made last season, but I want more than one season of that before I go calling him a top 10 NFL coach.  My biggest concern is if he has a relapse to his ultra-conservative ways now that he has some job security.

Exactly. We need Riverboat Ron.

No.  One winning season and one first round playoff loss does not make someone a top 10 head coach.  Every other coach on the list has had numerous playoff appearances and victories, all of them have taken at least 1 team to the Super Bowl. All but three have won at least one Super Bowl (Reid, Jim Harbaugh, and Fox).

I think the COTY award speaks more to his potential and growth than overall body of work. I don't have an issue with him not being included. He's got more work to do and can still make improvements. Two right off the top of my head: Starting faster in the regular season, and becoming more comfortable and engaged with the offensive side of the game planning

      Yeah. How he shows up in training camp with a year of NFL training and nutrition will tell us all we need to know.  Side note... how has Bryce still managed not to find the weight room?

      I hope he finds his lane in year 2.  Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton.  I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it.  Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB.  However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme.  I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest.  Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.
