It has some pretty good insight into his life. I wasn't aware the he was on the sideline for the Cal-Stanford play. That's pretty cool :lol:

One thing though. Lower part of the article says that when he was let go in 2006, he was replaced by Rod Marinelli :sosp:

Rivera interviewed for six head coaching jobs after the 2006 season but failed to land a job.

Despite those interviews, the Bears decided not to retain him as coordinator as head coach Lovie Smith instead hired Rod Marinelli, the guy he originally wanted for Rivera’s job three years before.

Rivera's DC replacement was actually Bob Babich, if I recall correctly.

Marinelli is the Bears DC now, but was with the Bucs and then the Lions back then.

Nothing new there, but great read nonetheless.

I don't recall anyone else mentioning that he was there for "the band is on the field" prior to this.

If I would have put the dates together, I probably would have noticed that, but all the research I've done on Rivera recently was regarding potential assistants, so it had more to do with who his colleagues and teammates were than what had happened :lol:

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
