And here's where we get tricky...

There's been some chatter before that Rivera is too paranoid to hire anybody who has the potential to replace him unless he's already friends with them and trusts that they won't try to supplant him.

Valid? Don't know, but I suppose you could make a case.

Wouldn’t Norv fit into this category?

No, because Norv A) is a trusted friend, and B) was threatened with bodily harm by his wife if he ever took another head coaching job.

By his own statements, Turner wasn't looking to be a coach at all. He was comfortably retired unless "the right situation" presented itself.

If I'm being honest, I think as much as anything Norv is coaching right now primarily to help Scott move up in the ranks.

I can see that

True, but if he doesn't get one of those jobs I'd prefer him to Perry Fewell.

(and I'd prefer anybody to Richard Rodgers)

Fewell, Pagano, and potentially Wilkes if the Panthers are interested in bringing him back to where he had most of his success as an NFL coach.

Rivera's background is as a secondary coach. I expect that he's looking for somebody on the same page as him to help lighten the load of DC.

Rivera was a linebacker coach.

There was a press conference or an interview not too long ago where he mentioned his background in the secondary, though I might have misinterpreted when he said that his history was in the back 7 (it must have been related to Washington being demoted?)

Linebacking corps would be considered part of the back seven (or the front seven, depending on what you're talking about).

Ok they seem to be taking this seriously now

If we hire Pagano I think that's a good sign. We'll have great football brains all over the place.

It would be the only positive news since the season ended

[Camp Fodder]

So how can we be interviewing Pagano when no defensive coach has been fired?  What position is open?
