Ron Rivera likely gone with new owner

I like Rivera, I’d keep him as an HC. But at this point my disdain for Shula is overriding that sentiment. If it takes getting rid of Rivera to get a fresh offensive scheme and coaching in here so be it.

Rivera is in his own way with his loyalty because I really just think he needs a new OC.

This.  Players love RR and he’s the level headed counterpart or Cam’s emotional swings. 

 

But if it takes RR getting the axe to rid us of Shula, then so be it

New ownership wants to make money on their investment.  The way to make money is to win games and sell gear.  Firing Ron Rivera, a proven winner, will not help either cause.  They will want to change as little as possible the first couple of years and milk Cam's popularity as long as they can.

I have a love-hate relationship with Ron.  Mostly love,  but the hate comes with his refusal to praise Shula, pat him on his back and send him on his way. 

I'd hate to see him go, but would understand completely.  I think a new owner will be hard pressed to fire Ron as a part of a housecleaning.  As such,  I can easily see him/her keeping Rivera for another year. And if that's the case,  I can easily see Rivera earning more.  He's not a great coach,  but he's certainly good,  and greatness is not out of the question (especially if Ron becomes more flexible in his thinking).

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
