Does Dave have any say in the Coaching staff?

[London Loves Luke]

Dave says he can make suggestions. But ultimately its Ron's staff and Ron's job. 

 

Rivera did not think there was any reason to make changes based on the final 6 games. Seems as though the first 12 didn't happen...

[pepaw]

Pretty scary =(

That is the way it should be. Even if I disagree with Rivera's assessment and decisions, you want to really fug up a franchise have the FO make assistant decisions

[Mr. Scot]

He technically has the power, but like most GMs he leaves the coaching hires and fires to the head coach's discretion.

 

My question would be how strongly he'd be willing to "suggest" some things.

If Harbaugh could get released for not replacing greg roman. I don't see why Rivera can't get told to either replace shula and dorsey or get gone. 

[Zaximus]

Shula needs to go, but if at least Rodgers is still here?  I'll have no faith for next year

[London Loves Luke]

In the presser it did seem as though Rivera came out all guns firing in defence of Shula and Rodgers - Could he be annoyed at Gettleman's suggestions about some of his coaches?

Should be interesting to see how that works out for SF

I am more of a guy that thinks head coaches should control hiring firing assistants and GM hires or fires head coaches.

Nothing worse than FO meddling on coaching

I'd say it's possible.

[MtnJax]

i think Dave has more power than he lets be known. he's not gonna give the media anything to run with

 

after they go through their evaluations, he may "suggest" to Ron to make some changes

In certain cases when the assistant coaches is garbage, YES

 

Any good GM can see Shula & Rodgers are not the answer. Tell the HC you're not satisfied with what you're seeing. HC disagree, so you go to ownership. I really don't care for Rivera, he's not the answer either. I don't mind having another 49ers situation here in carolina like harbaugh and greg roman

Hope it's like...

DG: "Hey Ron, you let go of Shula or I let go of you"

RR: "Uh Shula can I speak to you for a moment?"

one can only dream

What Gettlemen is doing is allowing Ron to choose his staff, as he should, and allowing Ron to succeed or fail by his own choices. Sure Gettlemen will make suggestions when asked but he's smart to let Ron sink or swim by Rons own decisions. If Ron fails then Gettlemen will clean house after this season and start over.
