regardless of the outcome of this game, Rivera needs to be fired tomorrow.

[Proudiddy]

No chance, Richardson owes him 15 million over the next 3 years.

Which is why I've been saying it wouldn't happen, but I have to believe this will be the season JR changes, otherwise all of our musings and discussions on this board are for naught.

[PhillyB]

truly a phenomenon to behold. it's legitimately possible that this is the biggest failboat of a season in franchise history… which is inexcusable given the pieces in place on the team.

 

once again, it starts at the top and trickles down. i'm convinced we will suck 80% of the time as long as JR sits atop the throne.

[TheRed]

I'm with you Red, too many of our status quo-loving fan base wants to give him a pass for last season's haphazard success he wondered into.

 

we've see everything we need to see from rivera and his group of inepts.

 

i want to see what gettleman can come up with when given the chance to pick his own coaching staff from top to bottom.

 

but he needs to own that clusterf*ck he is responsible for on the OL.

 

 

Yes, the first step is to take responsibility and acknowledge the mistakes he made by gambling with the health and long term development of his quarterback by stubbornly starting undrafted rookies and guys off the street on the OL, and completely clearing out the WR's.

 

We are already witnessing a terribly stubborn inability to own up to mistakes and accept accountability from our head coach. We cannot accept the same from our general manager as well, if he can't own up to his mistakes either, then both of them need to go. Simple as that.

[Proudiddy]

What did Ron do last year besides go for it on 4th downs?

That's not really a COY. Our players are the ones that had a meeting after Arizona and we went on a win streak

You mean the meeting that world famous little asshole and locker room misanthrope Steve Smith organized?

Man, I'm glad we got rid of that guy!

Sadly, this.

It is so depressing, but sadly Phil, I have come to the same conclusion.

It's almost as though I feel threads like this are borne out of the hope that I can speak change into existence for our franchise.

[LinvilleGorge]

who do we put in his place?

not that it matters.

totally agree on it being on rivera's shoulders for us not being prepared.

Have a drawing among PSL owners to be guest coach of the week. Not sure the end result would look much different.

[SOJA]

he should be, but that's not JR's style 

[FuFuLamePoo]

richardson won't fire him.  gettleman might.

Honestly, I would say McDermott because he is the best option out of the coordinators, whom usually assume the interim title when a HC is fired, but my preference would be Proehl, but no telling if he is prepared for gameday management... Then again, Rivera has been our HC for 4 years and he has no idea what he's doing on gameday either.

[FugginPoo]

They will score before the half thanks to Norman and Rivera

Well we won last season so history says we must fail this one.

 

How funny would it be if the Bucs come back and take this division.

[Jesse]

This team is just garbage. I used to be on the Rivera bandwagon, but I feel that is long gone. I'm really disappointed in his ineptitude and inability to be a HC.

[bigdog10]

No changes will be made. This whole organization is a blue print or failure.
