Rivera coaching the Falcons?

Speculation on Rivera's possible landing spots from Jason La Canfora...

Apparently Rivera most wants to go to the Bears or back to the Chargers, but it's not guaranteed that either of those jobs will be available.

Other possibilities include the Giants, the Cowboys, and possibly even the Falcons.

Yeah going to Atlanta makes no sense.    I don't think they want another defensive coach, if the job opens up.     But like others said, definitely not one that they have abused year after year.    They would be a special type of stupid to hire this guy.

They may think he'd be different with them. Hard to say.

I'll grant that it might not make sense, but if there's one thing I've learned it's that something not making sense is no guarantee it won't happen.

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
