Head Coaches don’t grow on trees

I will be the first to point out Rivera can be frustrating, especially when it comes to personnel decisions. But to use the cliché expressions, “the grass is not always greener”, and head coaches don’t “grow on treees”.  Who would you actually replace him with if you had the chance, that would give us a better chance at  a super bowl?

I can’t really think of anyone without taking a huge risk on a novice, which isn’t warranted when we have a winning record.  Sure there may be better Xa and Os kind of guys, but it’s not an easy job to manage an NFL locker room and keep the team competing on a weekly basis.

Agreed......he is a good coach who is always open and honest about how the team is performing, and he handles the locker room extremely well. Today he said winning covers up a lot of the mistakes that were made in all three phases of the game and they did not have victory Monday. He knows we have many things we have to improve. At the end of the day he is a two time coach of the year and we are 3-1 to start the season. Anyone who claims that Rivera should be fired is.........insane. At the beginning of the year if you told me at a quarter way through the season we would start 3-1 after having almost all of your O line with backups playing, a TD 4 game suspension, missing your starting safety, and missing Olsen for almost a full 4 games.....I would say Rivera needs an extension.

It’s extremely frustrating when you see a coach making the same mistakes over and over. You would think that over time he could figure out how to eliminate or not make as many bone headed decisions.

Ron expects his players to perform at a high level, he shouldn’t expect anything less from himself.

Hopefully when the day comes, and it will, I hope Tepper wants an offensive philosophy from the top down.  Get a strong DC but make it about the offense.  That’s what wins championships now.  Richardson was always defense: Capers, Fox, Rivera.

It has been the entire existence of the franchise, it’s all we know.  We’re likely going to look back one day and wonder what Cam Newton’s career might have looked like under different leadership and philosophy.  The years of surrounding Cam with spare parts and pieces from around the league, or making the important O line an afterthought.

im not calling for his dismissal today because I don’t think that there is a better optoin available right now.  But when one is identified, we should go for it instead of resting on laurels.

There are solid head coaching candidates available every single year.

The notion that you can't fire the existing coach because there's nobody better is just ridiculous. That's the kind of philosophy that would have held on to Jeff Fisher instead of taking a chance on Sean McVay.

I guess I should have clarified.  Someone who's not already an NFL head coach?  Do you have a name?

Who do you have in mind?

look at sean mcveigh , he took the worst offense in the nfl to the best 

Sean McVeigh was a unique find.  Since the Rams were already pitiful, he was worth taking a risk.  Do you think we're there?

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
