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.

    • 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.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
