Is Ron Rivera an NFL Top 10 Coach?

Definitely not top 10. I'd probably rather have him than Coughlin but then again, Coughlin has 2 super bowls. I'd rather have Chip Kelly too but that's another story. Bottom line, Riverboat had one good season that saved his job. He's improving and in the top 20...nothing more.

the salt over John in top 10 but not Ron, lol.

 

 

Ron is in a great position to prove his worth as a coach this season. If you wanna chalk up the first two seasons as learning as a coach fine. I'll give him all credit for last year, the call in the Saints game was balls to the walls. 

 

So if he can have us in playoffs again, he'll deserve top 15 for sure. I hope he does it! :)

No he's not

 

He's done about as much as Fox has.

 

Fox rode his talent. He always has. He never had the balls to Riverboat Ron. He's a fundamentals guy but he can't adjust when things don't go well for him. Ron adapts his plan to his players, not the other way around.

 

The best season Fox ever coached was 2004. He's been riding Steve Smith and Peyton Manning ever since.

Hypothetically, if we were to go 6-10 or worst... What becomes of Rivera? Does Gettleman keep him knowing Rivera brought the team to the playoffs before or go with someone else?

Hypothetically I'd say give McDermott the job. He's gone at end of season for a head job anyway. Hypothetically.

RR is excellent at the X and O.s of football but also developing football players. Defensive strategy is also a strength. The defensive game plans he showed last year were pure brilliance. His defensive game plans last year were game plans that Dick LeBeau would be proud of.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
