Rivera's contract was just extended last year

How many of you really think JR is going to eat that contract? He's not going to pay two coaches. Or if pigs fly and he does, he's not bringing in a top caliber guy. So I think all this fire Ron talk is misguided. We don't have the Jimmy's or the Joe's to compete week in and week out. Nippleshorts sure as poo better fix that. The only way to fix our mass depth deficiencies is through the draft. But I think we are looking at Rivera on the sidelines for another year or two. Agree or disagree?

Absolutely. I've said it a million times in all of the "fire _____" threads... JR is not going to pay him to sit at home. We're stuck with him.

Funny thing is, even when he made Hurney a sacrificial lamb, the only reason he did it was because reportedly Hurney was working for free lol.

He will be here for another year at least considering he is not the reason why we are losing.   He is a big reason why we weren't effective against the Packers but DG and Shula are the real culprits.  DG aint going nowhere either and still has potential to prove he has a method to his madness.  Shula aint going nowhere but to a highschool team if that!

Who's the other coach?

And why not? If a person doesn't do their job, they get fired. If Rivera continues to lose, no way JR yes even JR doesn't think about canning him

John Fox had winning seasons followed by mediocre seasons. Ron Rivera is on that same pace. JR rode the Fox train for a decade.

Couple of things...

- Pretty sure we don't know how much of Rivera's contract is actually guaranteed.

- Richardson fired Dom Capers just two years into a ten year extension. That's more than twice what Rivera has left.

- The way most head coaching contracts work, any guaranteed money he did have would only be guaranteed till someone else hired him, and Rivera would likely have another DC job within short order.

- Perhaps most pertinent, he loses a lot more money keeping a losing coach in place than he would replacing Rivera.

Jerry Richardson knows he's not gonna live forever. He wants to see his team win a Super Bowl before he's gone. Do you really believe he's just gonna sit back and let his team be run into the ground if he sees that happening?

(the people who actually know him will probably have a different answer than the internet only crowd)

Fox had a Super Bowl in his second season and a couple of conference championships after. That buys you a lot of leeway.

Rivera has nothing even close to that.

i think he'll be here next year for sure and probably 2016 as well, considering he is under contract thru 2017. who knows, maybe the get their poo together and put up some wins and make this a moot point. one thing i'm fully sure of, JR wont fire him this year.

For just a losing season? Maybe not.

If the season turns embarrassing, I definitely think it's possible.

Yeah except it didn't take fox until year 3 to reach the playoffs. He had a 1-15 team in the super bowl two years after taking over and then had them back in the nfc title game 2 years after that. Rivera hasn't even come close to that and his in game coaching (esp his use of challenges) has been mostly horrific. I think he did a better job in 2011 honestly. At least those games were close until the end. This year so far we've had 3 games that were over at halftime.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
