If Rivera was fired, who'd you want?

Just as the title suggests. If Rivera was actually fired/resigned/or his contract wasn't renewed, who exactly would you want to take his place?

Honestly, I've thought about it for a while, and I really don't know who the awesome coaching candidates out there, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Mike Zimmer. We would keep the 43 base defense, would play with a toughness that other teams would respect, and it would probably piss off a lot of Falcons' fans, which would be hilarious.

Other than Zimmer, I think my next candidate would be Kevin Greene. I know Kevin Greene hasn't really been "the guy" in Green Bay, but he's fiery, he seems partially crazy, and could really give our team the kick in the ass it needs.

ugh.

Definitely not saying to fire our coach. But, I keep seeing all of these "FIRE RIVERA" threads, so I thought, who the hell would these people actually want in his place? Most people just bandwagon on the "FIRE X" threads, with no idea of what they would want after.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
