Although I'm pretty sure it's happened before, I can't actually remember the last time I heard of a position coach being fired during training camp.

That must have been one hell of a "difference of opinion" 😕

What's the problem? Rivera is the head football coach. He can't be held hostage due to who someone's father was.

It’s just odd to see that happen in TC no matter who the person is.

It is.

Throw in also that staff decisions were never exactly Rivera's strong suit (remember how long he held on to Eric Washington as his DC).

It's possible that Mills wasn't up to being a position coach. Don't know. Again, this is one of those things where I'd like to know more details.

And the fact that Rivera was notoriously loyal to his assistants.  Very surprising.

And worked with the elder Mills...

Throw in too that Mills III made the choice to follow Rivera to Washington.

I'll say it again. I really want to know the details of this story.

Speaking of Washington(not the team), the other Washington... Eric Washington. What ever happened to that guy? Iirc he was pretty bad at DC but pretty good at Dline coaching.

Especially considering Rivera has a long track record of keeping assistant coaches well past their expiration date. Firing him now means there's a decent chance he should've been fired a year ago... Feel bad for him but his name shouldn't make him different than any other assistant coach, and most of those guys bounce around too. He'll land on his feet somewhere.

His name shouldn't play any role.

With that said, it's not like Ron Rivera has exactly earned the benefit of a doubt when it comes to staffing decisions.

      One of the dumbest suggestions ever

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).

      If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
