Rivera must know this is his last chance, right?

Had to double check the date stamp on this thread. I was made to believe 2018 was his “last chance.”

Who knows.

I have no clue what ownership will deem acceptable for continuation of employment. If “the Steeler way” is the model, Tepper should take note that Pittsburgh has had one losing season over the last 20 years. Standing pat has worked for them, because they never truly suck. 

A 7-game skid should have everyone on high alert.

I get that, but Darin Gantt has said that Rivera taking over the defense was also about protecting Eric Washington.

In a similar manner, you can see the hiring of a new secondary coach (thus returning Richard Rodgers to the less visible assistant role) as a way of protecting Rodgers from scrutiny if the secondary looks bad.

If Rivera was told he needs to concentrate less on protecting his friends, he certainly doesn't seem to have taken it to heart.

Is it?

If you could watch this epic disaster of a season, look at Rivera and Hurney's record together and still think "nah, we're good", what guarantee is there another losing season changes anything?

 

Yep he will two more years no matter what. Tepper seems to be Jerry Richardson 2.0

    • Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts? 
    • nope     This is why we come back every year.  Hope springs eternal
    • It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
