If we lose next week to the Seahawks, fire Rivera after the game.

[Awesomeness!!]

That simple

[Proudiddy]

It won't happen.

I don't care how bad the coach is, JR won't fire them during the season.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

yes let's leave complete control of the defense to Sean McDermott, brilliant

[Guest Bwood]

When can we start talking about the draft?

I'm not sure there would be much difference. Apparently Rivera has no say in the type of coverage we run, lol.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Bad idea, won't happen.

[UNCrules2187]

lol no.

The more I think about it, the more we might follow the Texans path with Gary Kubiak. First season 6-10, second season 8-8, third season 9-7, then a regression to 6-10 where the offense was elite (3rd in overall offense) but the defense was abysmal (32nd). After that season, they fired almost the entire defensive staff (DC, secondary coach, linebackers coaches) and hired Wade Phillips who implemented a defensive makeover. Went 10-6 last year with a rookie manning the QB position the 2nd half of the season and are 4-0 and arguably the best team in the league this season.

I just hope Rivera smartens up faster than Kubiak did and fires McDermott after this season.

That is a terrible, kneejerk reaction. Whether JR decides to pull the plug or not it won't be during the season.

[CRA]

No point firing Rivera midseason. I don't want either coordinator as HC....and an audition would be the only reason

[teeray]

You guys are insane.

Mid-season firings almost never make sense.

Now, after the season, yeah, go for it, but only if you (JR) are serious about doing all you can to put a competitive product on the field, including getting the best head coach available. However, I would not support firing Rivera after the season just to replace him with some coordinator that can be hired on the cheap. If that's your plan, forget it, and just hope Ron grows into the job.

[nobody]

Isnt Cowher sitting up on lake Norman willing to be the head coach if we let him bring in his gm and run the team his way?

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Unless you get rid of Marty, you are just changing saddles on a dead horse.
