As my screen name suggest, me being a native of Charlotte and my love of Football means I'm not going anywhere so spare me the bandwagon poo. Seems like all of a sudden I have become a villain for pointing out some uncomfortng things about Rivera.

I made this revelation earlier and posted it in another thread but wanted to make sure everyone was aware of it. fug me..I have been one of his biggest supporters and won't throw in towel this early but motherfuger Rivera...get your poo together!

We beat 5 unique teams last year. The buc's(fired Raheem Morris). The Colt's(fired Jim Caldwell) The Jag's(fired Del Rio)

We did manage to beat Shannahan(started John Beck who went 0-4 last year). and Kubiak(T.J Yates started) last year.

Then this year we beat the saints with their third string coach.

I come here to talk football and hear other views. Anybody have a more positive outlook on him than I currently do (without making personnel excuses)??

first, people are emotional. The "which coaches did they beat" bit is an anecdote.

Second, people think that being some slobbering, spitting, out of control jackass is going to make things better when things aren't going right. It's not. Rivera may be too stoic, but that's about the least relevant thing about coaching, and it's the one that people focus on the most.

I like how this team is built. Maybe it does or doesn't work out, but this is the way I'd build my team with their O and D schemes. I like the design of this team. It's another place that fans, and the teams, can over-react - giving you a worse fit in coaching because the philosophy is different.

Right now, I have a couple concerns - his game management (positive spin, he's young at this), his strength being defense I'd want to see major improvement from where things are right now.

More than anything, this is week 3 and it's awful to demand change right now or give up on a season just because people bought into Kalil and determined that this was clearly a contender. Guarantee that people that are currently devaluing the win against the Saints because it was Aaron Kromer weren't upset about it last week when they were buying in.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
