Why don't we make mid-season coaching changes?

Let's play what if.  What if the franchise fired Rivera right now. 

Sure, Norv could take over as interim HC, but think about that a sec.  That moves Norv out of the box and back to the sideline . . . making it much harder for him to call the game.  Norv has never really shown the ability to be a HC and an OC.  He's been a *fantasic* coordinator compared to what we have had . . . pretty much ever.  Do we want to risk screwing that up?

Ok, so not Norv.  Washington?  LOL.  Who then? 

Norv is the only one who could do it, and it would adversely affect our offense.  So Norv as HC.  Where does that leave us?

Does that fix our biggest problem?  HARDLY!  Our defense is the problem, and firing Rivera puts Washington all alone trying to run our defense!  That's not likely to end well.

The bottom line is that there is no version of firing Rivera that makes us a better team right now.  All bets are off once the season ends, but right now, there is no version of canning Rivera that improves our team.  Sorry.

If Rivera demoted or fired Washington he’d probably just promote his buddy Richard Rogers to dc. I think Ron  looks at it like he hired him if he demoted or fired him it would show it made a bad choice. And we all know he don’t admit or take responsibility for mistakes

Maybe they're afraid people will stop coming if we tank, but i doubt it since the psl's are sold. Richardson always wanted to model the shittsburgh fugs (which why they haven't done anything in 50 years) and the aim for continuity was there. May be the same thing for Tepper but he will be more open minded about who he brings in.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
