John Fox in Denver vs. Carolina vs. Ron Rivera

What cutting edge OC are we going to get to come in here when his boss is entering the season on a seat that is white hot?

 

exactly.  Same shitty situation as when they promoted Shula.  Then before that you have a new GM coming in with a coach he didn't hire, becasue the owner is too cheap to make the right move, which is a completely clean slate.

 

I really hope JR changes things this off season but I'm betting that he's going to do this half-assed again because of his love of $$$

I am still of the mind that Rivera will be back sadly.  This situation though keeps getting worse and more embarrassing though so I am starting to feel better and better about our chances of a new direction.

A coach that is scared of other people taking his job is not a good coach IMO. Thats why Jackson was not hired and why Jay Gruden was not before him. Rivera knew Chud and Shula could not take over his job and that what you call a coach that knows his system sucks deep down inside.

Fox was used as a scapegoat so that Hurney could keep his job, which was a huge mistake. Fox immediately got a new HC job and has been successful, while Hurney can't even get any type of job with any FO.

 

Rivera on the other hand will NEVER get another HC job after he's sent packing. He'll probably get another gig as a DC at some point and even that might not be right away.

    • Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.
    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
