Who follows Rivera to DC?

[Mr. Scot]

It's unknown which assistants are under contract and which ones aren't, but I imagine anyone who really wants to follow Rivera to DC may not be blocked from doing so.

Of course, he has to want them as well.

OL Coach John Matsko, TE Coach Pete Hoener, Sam Mills III and the much beloved Eric Washington were here for Rivera's entire coaching tenure. Do they go with him?

What about guys Rivera gave opportunities to like Richard Rodgers and Chase Blackburn?

As far as prior staff, Steve Wilks and Al Holcomb are available, among others.

So who do we think he steals (or relieves us of, depending on your perspective)?

Eric Washington probably follows him and gets on staff but not as DC.

Has the entire staff been relieved yet?  If so, I haven't seen anything.  I'm assuming they are going to put some front office pieces in place and collectively make decisions on Ron's old staff.  I can tell you now, outside of Sammy Mills III, there better not be one defensive staff member retained.  When the defense largely quit on this team, the staff did not hold them accountable.  You want to tank?  Then bench under performing divas and get some young guys in there.  Send a message AND get some young guys game reps.

That's arguably the most obvious one, and it'll be interesting.

Does Rivera continue to try to promote him or does he just let him do what he's good at?

Good chance their are a lot of phone calls between the 703 and 704, today!

TAKE THEM ALL

I don't care where they go, but anyone hired by Rivera can get outta here.  What a pathetic staff this is/was.

Addressed this elsewhere. You don't have to release them. Assistants are generally on short contracts, and given that Rivera was on the hot seat, possibly even shorter.

Plus it's not like we have anybody that you'd expect to be all that desirable for the next head coach. I imagine anyone who wants to defect will be allowed to do so.

Actually took longer for someone to mention Marty than I thought it would. Figured that might be the first response 

[ncfan]

My guess is Matsko and Washington as starters.

Washington has been with Rivera awhile and worked with Wilkes here.

Well then, bye Falica(s)!  This staff lost the locker room, and if that's not the case, it sure as heck looked like it from the outside.  Plus all the grumbling that's coming out of the players the past few day...it's going to take a brand new staff, with no cozy relationships, to demand excellence out of this bunch!

Wish he'd take the whole scouting dept

I don’t want to lose Blackburn :(
