John Fox in Denver vs. Carolina vs. Ron Rivera

[Guest]

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.

Peyton Manning...Rivera and Shula would be offensive gurus because they wouldn't touch that side.

Sorry, my Panther Brethren, but I still think Fox is an idiot.

 

Sure, he's got Peyton and tbh, I could coach that team to a few victories.

 

But also, I'm sure Elway is keeping Fox in check or helping out and that's something we didn't have here.

They have one thing in common;

the hot seat

Fox is as shitty now as he was then.

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.

The difference is that when Fox walked he was an instant commodity. Rivera will leave and there will be no calls for HC interviews, none.

I like to tease the locals about their Super Bowl meltdown

Oh lord

Don't forget that Fox's conservatism cost the Broncos a playoff game a couple years back. Would not want Fox. Do not want Rivera.

I have no complaints about Fox other than he stuck with Delhomme too long. Matt Moore should've taken over after the tommy john surgery.

 

Delhomme was great for this fan base and franchise though and I'm glad he got his money.

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.
