Beyond the most obvious reason why Ron Rivera was fired (failure on the field) Jason LaCanfora reported on WFNZ that there was an additional layer.

Specifically, over this past season, David Tepper and Ron Rivera haven't really been getting along all that well.

LaCanfora stated the two of them had several of what he called "personality conflicts", as well as issues like differences over strategy and approach.

I've not watched "All or Nothing" myself, but for those who have, I wonder what their response would be to this suggestion.

Or even if you haven't, does this surprise you or not?

Ron clearly didn't seem as into analytics and the new processes Tepper wanted to use. He always referred to himself as an old school guy. I think of the Green Bay game going for two. Ron saying it's what the analytics said to do had a tone of irony to it. I think he put up with it in some cases but wasn't convinced.

LMFAO believing every single thing any “insider” says again Christ you are gullible. You and Brees should go into the jewelry business together.

 

Tepper wanted to see change and Ron didn’t change that simple.

A conflict over the use and value of analytics does sound like a very likely possibility

Every job I've had has been a collection of personality conflicts. The fact he kept him after last season should downplay the extent of any serious issue.

NFL insiders constantly produce stuff like this because it's their job to create content. I wouldn't take them so seriously.

Well, I bought into it when he said that Newton was going to be out several more weeks... Oh wait, that happened.

But yeah, I bought into it when he said that Newton was about to go on injured reserve and... Oh wait, that happened too.

And hell, it wasn't that long ago I fell for his belief that Ron Rivera wasn't going to keep his jo... Oh yeah.

But hey, doggone it, I'm not sure why I even pay any attention to this guy :thinking:

I’m a little worried that we could be going down the “meddling owner” road. If the word gets out that this is the case and Rivera had issues with it, could it hurt us attracting coaching talent? No one wants to coach under Snyder, Jones, etc.

I believe it but I also believe there was a mutual respect between the two. It's not like they hated each others guts

When you aren't on the internet, it's possible to respect someone and still disagree with them. I tend to have a gut feeling in line with what you're saying here. Tepper clearly favors analytics and a more dynamic approach than Ron seems comfortable with.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pats win it all or at least get there. Maye is awesome.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Young quarterbacks Drake Maye, Bo Nix, and Bryce Young have led their teams to undefeated records since October.   Drake Maye has guided the New England Patriots to a 5-0 record in that period, with 2,285 passing yards and 17 touchdowns in nine games. Bo Nix has directed the Denver Broncos to a 5-0 stretch, throwing for 1,976 yards and 17 touchdowns, contributing to a 7-2 overall start. Bryce Young, in his second season, has led the Carolina Panthers to a 4-0 run since October, accumulating 1,390 yards and 11 touchdowns amid a 4-4 record.   Undefeated QBs since start of October (min. 4 starts)   Drake Maye 5-0 Bo Nix 5-0 Bryce Young 4-0   Bryce Young when asked about his mindset during game winning drives: "You don’t rise to the occasion you fall back to the level of your training."

      Most hated teams

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      1. Cowboys-No explanation needed. 2. Rest of NFC South equally. If I had to pick I would say Falcons.    3. Eagles- Both of the games I have attended there the fans were so horrible. The fan base is so ridiculously misbehaved, I’ve never seen such immaturity. 4- Lions- I have cousins in Michigan that grew up Lions fans and they are some of the most obnoxious people I have ever met, as are all of their Lions buddies. The NFL has been lucky that Detroit has been in the cellar for its eternity.    5. Tie between Bears and Vikings. Both act like Steelers, Cowboys, Niners fans do with nostalgia and legendary seasons but neither have ever really had them. They act like they each won 5 super bowls in previous decades but never accomplished poo outside of Chicago in 85.
