It's not going to happen. And why give up a franchise that is on its way up to come back and clean up someone else's mess?

We're injured. Not garbage. Our DTs were hanging on by a string yesterday. If I could move BACK home and make a ton of $$$$$?!? Why not? More $$$$. Home

You can't request to interview an existing GM or head coach.

The only mechanism that would make this possible would be a trade. Seriously doubt Buffalo is down for that, but even if they were heaven only knows what they would ask in return.

Throw in that David Tepper has no association with either of these guys so why would he even look in this direction?

Obviously.

Given the fact Tepper has little or no association with anyone outside the Pittsburgh organization, I don't know that it makes any difference.

I'm really happy for McDermott and Beane because they both seem to be trending upward, but let's wait and see how they look in another year or two. Either way, they're in Buffalo now, and they're not leaving if things continue to improve, and if they don't improve then we wouldn't want them anyway.

McDermott and Beane have done a good job but this is the first season they've had a better record than us, and barring something crazy, they still aren't getting past the divisional round at best 

Let's see where they're at 9 years in of they make it that far. 

I get being ready for change here, but the idea they stripped us of talent and/or have proven themselves to be a high-end coach combo at this point is simply not true.

I hesitate even posting much these last few weeks bc there is so much exaggeration on here.

There obviously are a lot of questions about this team going forward. It's hard to see a clear path back to being a dominant team in the short term.

But it's also ridiculous to suggest that this team has been ran into the ground or anything like that.

Some posters obviously have no idea how to run a professional organization. Simply firing people without a long-term plan is pointless.

Tepper has been evaluating the football side of this team for over a year now. He has a plan, and he will execute it after the season concludes. And it will include a new regime.

The blowhards who want Tepper to impulsively fire Rivera before the season ends are just that.

Even Jerry Jones has learned that accomplishes nothing and only serves to piss off potential coaches when you treat their colleagues with wanton disrespect.

Tepper is going to let Rivera and Hurney go. Chill the fug out on the drama.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
