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:

      D and D is the answer.

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Was just explaining this to some dummy named Willy in another thread. I think he was just smoking’ too much cheese.  This has been going on for ages. Trent dilfer got all the ladies and threw just as many TDs as interceptions. This was the more violent era of football. The soft mfrs wanna see the passing TDs but the truth is that ain’t what ultimately wins football games. It’s a STRONG D, and an unstoppable run game, with some passes to keep the defense honest, if a for a TD great. in fact I would venture to say that the two panthers super bowls consisted of the same except cam threw more tds than interceptions and could run like Jamal Lewis and priest Holmes. its a tale as old as time. Something all ball knowers understand.

      Playoffs?!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Ngl, as good as I felt about us after winning yesterday, when they showed the top NFC teams on SNF, I realized what a crazy year this is.  The NFC seems uncommonly top heavy.  As of today, we aren’t anywhere near playoff positioning, which at 5-4 seems very, very weird compared to most years.  I know things will shake out further as the season goes on and it likely won’t look the same, but I have the feeling it’s one of those years that you’ll need like 11 wins to get in as a wildcard. seems very like a very pantherish thing to rebound this year and that’s what it would take.
