  • Rivera seems to suggest that he has had positive talks with Tepper and feels confident.  He is not interested in playing Cam, KK, or Turner as a result.  That is not a good sign, and he seems to be brazenly throwing this into the face of the fans---because he is tired of hearing the questions about his job--it is as if Tepper is his only concern, not us.  Pisses me off.
  • However, Tepper has been on a roller coaster too--like buying a stock that makes money for the first half of the year and then nosedives the second half.  He made his money by making calculated decisions about future performance--so he may have been behind the demotions and firings.  If he wanted Tomlin fired in Pittsburgh once upon a time, how could he not want Rivera fired? 

At the moment, I am not seeing the signs that RR is going anywhere.  MH?  Maybe RR has convinced him that personnel is the issue--having said that, Moore, Jackson, and Thomas make a good draft by most standards--especially if you consider the LBs (Carter, Smith) have some value.  What was he thinking on Gaulden or Haynes?  I dunno--he is the same guy who used to draft college S to play at CB and CBs to play S.  He brought us Namakumara and pverpaid for Charles Godfrey.  He drafted undersized DE busts Norwood and Brown.  Does he learn from his mistakes? Can he evaluate talent? 

While Hurney's draft did not hurt him, free agency was tight.  He brought in Reid.  He also let Star walk and signed Poe.  That could be the dagger.  If I am Tepper, I let Hurney go.  Hard to fire a .555 coach with a Super Bowl appearance and three of eight seasons over 11 wins--and twice named NFL coach of the year.  Most know that was Cam and Luke despite RR, but Tepper needs to know it. 

Rivera stays, Hurney (I am on the fence) goes.  Sir Purr--I don't think he is really a knight--Mixon sucks.

 

3 of 8 seasons over 11 wins and 1 super bowl appearance sounds just like a few guys in the NFL that used to be coaches. Tired of mediocrity, I want to see this team win 11 games or more 10 out of 11 times at least. Consistent winning seasons, not just making the playoffs only to get smashed.

The biggest chance is Hurney being fired honestly. To his defense I really liked his aggressive moves and draft this last year. People can say what they want to but he went all out to bring in the best available free agents.

i really believe the coaching staff just really stinks at adjusting schemes to fit player strengths— the New Orleans Game for me showed what our defense was capable of all year. 

Rivera not being fired this year puts a bandaid on when you should just rip the scab off and get it over with.

Hurney has the best chance to get fired, but honestly I don’t believe he was the problem.

What aggressive moves did he make and what big name free agents did we bring in?
