Final Ron Rivera Presser streaming live at 8:15

Ron’s pride was his downfall. He has learned nothing from this. He just blamed injuries for his firing.

Rivera taking every opportunity to take jabs at Joe Person makes my heart warm.

The main thing to take away from this is that Rivera said that our issues did not happen until our quarterback got hurt. Is he wrong??

 

[BurnHurnBurn]

Yeah, I'm over this dude.  He just can't take responsibility without a caveat.  He truly thinks he's done everything correctly.  I can't work with that.  You have to know your weaknesses and be open to change.  He was not.  At All.  

Godspeed Ron.  This will follow him to his next job too.

 The QB situation has nothing to do with how bad the defense has played. 
 

Also, the Steelers have done well without their QB. That’s what a good coaching staff can do.

[Mr. Scot]

Damn, that hurt.

When prior coaches have left, I didn't really care that much about what happened to them from there on out, but I'll really be cheering for Rivera.

[Wanderlai]

Extremely classy guy. 

[Harbingers]

The shirt....

Pretty funny way to end it with the missed opportunities shirt. Hurdlers will like that.

Good coaches overcome. You have to look at games individually. We either got assblasted by 2 win teams or we had a chance to win or go to overtime and we blew it. There was so much inconsistency that didn’t make sense. We had talent to overcome a franchise qb going down to not lose to extremely bad teams.
 

Then add to the fact that defense is his strong suit and it has gotten progressively worse since the 2015 season. Players were not put into positions to succeed, and Ron is completely adverse to changing. He even said as much in his presser “I believe I do things the right way to win in this league” uh no you don’t Ron.

Ya that was painful to watch. He’s so devastating right now.

A good mobile QB can also cover coaching flaws.
