Rivera will be the best coach we have had to date

Rivera is a winner, Chud is a winner, Cam is a winner, Smitty is a winner, its a matter of time before this team starts winning.

Lets face it, most these players are not Rivera's, he never got a full offseason with them, and if they don't play better he has no problem cutting some of them.

If you watch the interview he calls out Munnerlyn, and Martin. When asked if Safety is a position he will have to address in the offseason he says yes.

Steve Young says when he played for the 49ers he always had a healthy fear that if he and his fellow teammates didn't play well they were all going to be cut. Rivera is instilling this fear. If guys don't play well or step up and make plays, if they are not winners, they won't stick around.

How many players have been upgraded from the practice squad and shown immediate promise? How many bright spots were added in free agency?

Has our offense ever looked so explosive or dynamic? Was our defense ever as aggressive under Fox?

Chico accepted the head coaching job of the team with the worst record in football with only half an offseason before actual games were started playing and we have been competitive. Give him so more time and this team, and the Panthers are going to start winning.

if they're winners, why are we losing?!?!

Rivera accepted the head coaching job of the team with the worst record in football with only half of a regular offseason to start working with the team.

It's his first head coaching job ever. He is going to suffer a little adversity under those circumstances maybe?

So is a winner only someone who wins without adversity...?

I dunno, I haven't been impressed by our coaching staff (edit: I lied, I think Chud & Shula have done a good job) at all this season, but I'm giving them a pass because of the injuries. Still I don't understand the claims that this will be the best coach we've ever had or that he is just a winner or whatever because I basically see no evidence of either of those things yet.

How exactly are Rivera and Chud winners?

As a player - Bears won

As a DC - his D excelled and his teams won

------

As a OC in college or the pro his offenses overall have ranked near the top. Only 1 year can you claim otherwise

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
