There are a couple of coaches people expected to be on the firing line who have been told that they're safe.

The Titans have said they do not plan to fire head coach Ken Whisenhunt (ditto GM Ruston Webster). And surprisingly, the Redskins have told Jay Gruden that he'll be back too despite his losing season and rough relationship with star quarterback RG3.

Also surprising, Cowboys Coach Jason Garrett is reportedly not under contract next season. Minus an extension, he could wind up being a free agent.

I believe we desperately need changes to the offensive and special teams areas, but I'm not sure we'll get them.

I still think Rivera should be let go too but I'm not optimistic on that front.

 

Pretty convinced that we are seeing RR buy himself 1 more year.

 

Shula should absolutely be gone.  If RR doesn't make the call, and I'm DG, I'm telling RR in no uncertain terms....."Shula is your rope, careful what you do with it".

Would the Getti have more say so in hirings?

My best answer to that: Seen Steve Smith lately?

I'm going to wait to pass judgement on Rivera. If he has a good showing in the playoffs (and I'm counting the Falcons game as a playoff game) I'd at least give him another year.

I don't even necessarily think Shula should go. As bland as our offense can be, I think it could actually become a dominant, simple offense considering our roster youth. Solidify that line and acquire another weapon and I think we'd have enough talent to consistently move down the field.

I've seen enough of Rivera and Shula already.

I'm hoping not, but I acknowledge it's likely.

Would the Raiders trade for him or could they just assume his contract?

 

Harbaugh is under contract next year with the 9ers and the Raiders would need permission to talk to him and possibly offer compensation ie draft pick(s).

Harbaugh could resign and go to College FB.

 

Yes the relationship between 9er ownership/management and Harbaugh is so bad they'll eat a years contract potentially.

I think Baalke would happily pay for a plane ticket to Michigan.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
