Does Rivera have a chance at staying another year?

[Mr. Scot]

I can't see him keeping his job.

 

There's no scenario where that makes sense.

[Semaj]

He's gone.  If not, some of us won't bother watching this trainwreck next season.

Against who?  TB isn't a gimme at this point.  Minny will be in a freezer.  NO, ATL, and CLE all playing for playoff seeding.

 

The only win we have since week two was due to an RB (Forte) who never puts the ball on the ground doing so, and the tie was due to a piss poor PK for Cincy.

 

2010 is the only year in recent memory we weren't able to at least make a run in garbage time at the end of the year after we were already eliminated from the playoffs.

[FuFuLamePoo]

He's not going anywhere after that contract.

Point taken, but the South sucks so much ass this year that we might not be officially eliminated until week 16.

[MadHatter]

No.

Even if we turn it around and win down the stretch. Getting on a roll now and then dies not make up for the long ribs of poor play.

He has not earned another year

[Dexterity]

Shula is done.

Rivera? It may depend on who is available that can replace him. I'm not a big Rivera fan but he's not a bad coach. Yeah, he's had a long record 3 of 4 years, but he's had a shitty incomplete roster 3 of 4 years.

[PanthersFanNY]

Firing Rivera after a contract extension does not bode well for JR's pie charts. 

 

He'll be here another year as much as we all wish he wouldn't be.

1: it all depends on how much power Gettleman really truly has.

2: considering his track record this offseason, I'm worried about Gettleman too.

To me, the only way Rivera stays is if Gettleman gets to choose the offensive staff, but then he's almost a lame-duck coach.

And it's not like Gettleman hit for the fences with this year's ol....

If you fire and replace Shula with Ron on the hot seat next season, it's the same situation we're in now. Remember when we lost chud and everyone thought we had to promote Shula cuz no coach would want to come into this situation with Ron on the hot seat, same situation would happen next year and we'd get a lame duck OC. You either fire both or neither, and both need to go.

[davos]

The scary thing is the way he's coaching, it seems like he's been assured his job.  

[emhoward]

I think it depends on how he finishes (though it shouldn't)

[Fox007]

oh he has a chance....JR....

 

SHould be he retained? NO

[Pimpdaddy]

in spite of the riverboat moniker...he doesn't seem to have a ***** clue about the flow of the game..

[Cdw]

Its depressing that this is something we legitimately have to worry about
