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.

He's the head coach he can hire and fire whoever he wants for any reason he wants, there's no benefit of the doubt needed. Argue whether he should be a HC, sure. But he is.

I still find it hilarious how you all hate on a two time NFL coach of the year. Look at what is here now. What-everrrrrrr!

This is very valid but 99.9% of the fans here wanted Rivera gone. Be careful what you wish for as they say.

Rhule is terrible, but "coach of the year" is nothing special.

Take a look at the last twenty or so winners of that particular award and you'll see why.

Rivera needed to go.  Sometimes messages become stale and a change of scenery is necessary.  Getting rid of Ron wasn’t the problem, we just replaced him with a trash heap

Yep, everyone has a window.  Decent coaches too.  Ron is a decent coach.  He just isn't a great coach. 

It's much easier to do worse than Ron Rivera than better.   Same w/ Fox.  I consider them to be the same.

Fox and Rivera were very different people, but as coaches they had a lot of the same weaknesses.

Honestly so does Rhule, but without the strengths that Fox and Rivera possessed.

I mean, Fox and Ron were just decent coaches.  Flawed sure.  But they overall were decent NFL coaches.  Clear strengths and weaknesses. 

Rhule doesn't have a NFL strength IMO.  He has a college one. 

Rhule seem like a Dabo-wannabe.  And Dabo would be a horrible NFL coach.  Dabo's A+ schtick wouldn't work in the NFL.  And Rhule is bringing like a C game college schtick to the NFL.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      i am anxious to see what he does with this new situation. i think the schedule is about as favorable as you could hope for the first half of the year. i don't expect a dramatic and quick  improvement, but i do expect improvement.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By rayzor · Posted

      truthfully, when did he have time last year to throw it down field? plays took far too long to develop and the OL gave him no time.  i think we are basing far too much of bryce's assessment on a situation that didn't work out in his favor at all. it was probably the worst situation a rookie QB could have found himself in. the only i can think of who had it worse was David Carr, who had an even worse rookie season than Bryce by a significant margin statistically.  i think most would realize that carr was probably a better QB than his record would show, but he was shell shocked in his first few years because they did nothing to try to help him out. 3 of his 5 years in houston he led the league in sacks. i don't think he would ever have been an elite QB, but had he been in a better situation he probably would have had a better and longer career. point is, i don't think we saw everything that bryce is capable of because he was limited by the situation. but i understand the pessimism most have, because all we really have to go on was what we saw last year. that's why i wait to see what happens with a better situation. i just don't think you can give an accurate assessment of him based on last year. it wouldn't be fair for any rookie, tbh, but for one whos situation was so fugged up i think it's even more unfair. had nothing changed in the situation, you could probably expect more of the same. that's just not the case, though. a whole lot changed for the team and for his situation and i think for the better. it just makes sense that if we improved the situation that he will improve.
