Hypothetical convo with Rivera

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Let's say hypothetically I had a direct line to Coach Rivera for a 30 minute conversation.  Let's assume this conversation would remain confidential

How would you approach this situation. What points would you, as a fan, have to say to him. 

[Doc Holiday]

what?

"Fire Shula"

"You're retarded"

something tells me Leeroy is gonna have him a sit down with Paddle Boat Ron here in the near future.

in the spirit of the OP, i just have two questions for him. judge for yourself how you should approach them with the HC:

1) why the stubborn refusal to ditch Mike Shula in the face of insurmountable evidence that 2015 was a fluke year for his offensive scheme? and,

2) why do your balls seem to shrivel up whenever the Panthers get a 2 touchdown lead? yesterday was sort of an exception, but the pattern is still there. why do we not keep our foot on the gas? maybe play smarter, but just as hard?

The only thing I could presume to tell him is that a lot of fans seem to really like it when he's the riverboat gambler, and will probably excuse the occasional missed first down.  But seriously, this guy has been in the game as a coach and player for his entire adult life.  Does anyone on this board seriously think they can tell him anything about the game, or his staff, or his team that he doesn't already know?

Would prefer a hypothetical conversation with Dave G.  Someone has got to track that man down and get the skinny on this organization.  The media blackout on him is concerning.

Hypothetically, I would assume you would not want to be a douche canoe and would speak in a respectable manner, because that's what normal humans do face to face and not through the anonymity of the internet.

So if that is that case I would ask the following in a respectful manner:

• His thoughts on the Gettleman firing. What was his working relationship like and does he think it was justified?
• Why does the offense not implement a more uptempo style more often? Not even no huddle, just allowing Cam to get to the line and possibly audible, make some reads, etc? It worked in NE and it worked in all of 2015, but last year and the first 3 weeks of this year there was no pep in the offense's step. Is it the personnel unfamiliar with the plays? Is there an issue getting plays into the huddle? What gives?
• If Wilks' defense continues to show out and do well and he receives a HC offer, who would be next in line to take over DC duties? Eric Washington?
• Is there a player you guys passed in the draft that you really wanted but we didn't pull the trigger on?

I certainly would not question how he does his job or tell him how to do his job. I would enjoy just a normal conversation with about anything that comes up. Not necessarily football. He is a really good man and has an interesting history. It would be cool to listen to some cool stories from him
