So I know we're all excited about our new coach

But has there been any fan base that wasn't ecstatic about their new coaching staff? I wasn't around for the new Fox regime, and I obviously don't follow any other teams all that closely so I don't have a clue. We're all incredibly excited about what Rivera can hopefully do with this team (myself is definitely included in this); I'm just wondering if this is always the case?

haven't really seen a Panther fan that's mad about Rivera

have seen plenty of Bronco fans mad about the Fox hire

I guess it just depends. Most of the time when a new coach is hired, it's because the old coach was bad and the fans are just happy for a change.

I agree. Very few people have a clue about how well he will do.

On paper he is a safe bet

A lot of Dallas fans were "WTF?" about Wade Phillips, and I know some Charger ones who couldn't believe they gave Norv Turner another chance.

I think your supposition is a lot closer to the truth when it's a rookie head coach, for what it's worth, but were there really a lot of Tampa fans excited about Morris?

Everyone's excited when you have a coaching change, but there are objective reasons to be happy.

Worth noting that a load of the people now touting Rivera were on the Jim Harbaugh, Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden bandwagons before his hire. After the first presser, all of those trains pretty much left town.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
