Does anyone wish we had kept him and simply changed GM's ?

Quote

Two seasons into whatever this is, Ron Rivera has been exactly who you should’ve expected him to be. He’s the dependable leader, full of character and decency, that the Washington Football Team sought to clean up its everlasting mess. His current team plays similar to his Carolina Panthers teams, right down to the slow starts and identical 13-19 records through the first 32 games. He’s 60 now, but even after a cancer battle during his first season in Washington, he doesn’t look like he has aged much over the past decade.

 

Rivera is Rivera, every day. He’s so consistent you could set your watch to him. As he took command of a mercurial and rudderless Washington franchise, his steadiness often seemed remarkable. Mostly, though, it is simply a good, solid, fundamental approach to coaching.

Ron Rivera needs to do more in Washington than emulate the Carolina Panthers - The Washington Post

Rivera has his shortcomings, but Hurney should have been dumped first.

Actually, Hurney never should have been brought back to begin with, but hey...

 

Agree ...absolutely!

 

Ron never had a good GM.  Now he is basically the boss, something that I think  is a mistake.  I would have liked to see him with a good GM here. Maybe things would have gone a little better.

While he had plenty of successes during nine seasons in Charlotte, he did so with just three winning records. Carolina was inconsistent in ways that Cam Newton’s injury history can’t fully explain. Five of his nine Panther teams started seasons as poorly as his first two have in Washington.

The consistency of Rivera’s professional approach allows him to be a gifted motivator who inspires fight in his players. But his teams also crumble the same. Reliable Ron needs some new wrinkles this time around.

That time was when they brought back Hurney again. Their time together, again, made it obvious it was time for change. Failure at that level just makes change the best option for everyone.

It stinks but Tepper really screwed up by keeping Huney and not hiring a Berry to hold his hand and teach him to be a better owner. Now we are stuck in those mistakes. Rhule and company are all just classic mistakes from  an owner with his training wheels on and no real idea what he is doing with his staff and front office.

Meh. We made our decision and it was for the best. It was time to part ways and Ron seems different after moving on. We just as usual went about the after part all wrong. All you can do is hope Tepper is learning something through all this but who knows.

The first clue to our misery was when Tep said hurney was a great talent evaluator...

I mean, Ron is a slightly above average QB away from a contender. If he can hit on the QB market this off season, the WFT will be in good shape.

I’d take their roster and coaching staff over what we have now 100 times out of 100

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
