I prefer Rivera by a lot.  

Which is more of an indictment of Fox. 

 

These other guys could have been our coach too. Woof. 

Quote

Rivera was one of four defensive coordinators to be interviewed by general manager Marty Hurney and team president Danny Morrison last week. The others -- Perry Fewell of the New York Giants, San Francisco's Greg Manusky and Rob Ryan of Cleveland -- were not asked in for second interviews.

Fox 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown by botched kickoff,... no back to back playoffs, last playoff blowout blamed on quarterback but Arizona spoke of failures for us to adjust on offense and defense. Kept it vanilla.

Ron 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown because of failure to adjust to opposing teams defense. 

That's tough,... good enough to motivate team to playoffs occasionally,... but screws the pooch and goes Marty Ball when it matters?

Elway hit the button because Fox couldn't get there with a top 5 HoF quarterback on his last season or 2 and star defense,..

Rivera,.... hummm we have no Elway at the helm,... what if Elway was here, would Rivera be?

Right now I've got no love for either.

Fox was stale. Rivera scared. Both results in lack of success.

I think to a large degree they are indentical. 

Rivera just has a Riverboat switch which takes a painful amount of time to hit.  Ron also is willing to embrace things Fox wouldn’t IMO.  

But their game management is nearly indentical until Riverboat is forced to come out

      After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
