Why is Rivera failing as a head coach?

I think it is important to understand in looking for our new HC

I think it come down to a few reasons

.First he is a DC that has brought in an OC that has only had one year of success as a OC. Chud was only batting 500 as an OC which is not good if you the head coach do not know how to run an offense.

Appears unable to make adjustments in the game.I watch him on the sideline and he is not speaking to anyone.How can you make adjustments with players and coaches when you cannot communicate.

Seems to have a lack of confidence in his players. You are a NFL kicker so you should be expected to make a 51 yard fg.

Lack of connection/confidence with the players.We have seen players on defense and offense say they were not the ones calling in the plays.Where is the discussion with Cam on the sidelines?

I never see coaches showing him film while he is on the sideline.

He reminds me of Dom Capers when he was coach on the sidelines.

I honestly do not feel he can correct his problems unless Chud come to his senses.

I think the Defense has improved a great deal even with injuries.

The entire problem this year is the offense is the opposite from last year in terms of productivity. Chud just has not got it done and appears to have "out-thunk" himself by scrapping what we did last season and putting too many new wrinkles in that have not panned out.

Is that Rivera's fault? Yes, he signed off on it. What is more troubling though is they doubled down on it when they saw it didn't work and now we are 1-6, too late.

His unwillingness to make adjustments even when it's killing us really rustles my jimmies.

I wonder if it his inability, not willingness on offense.Clearly it is willingness on Defense.

You can improve on willingness but you are stuck with your ability.

inexperience and his being overwhelmed being led to overcompensating and overthinking things.

also there is a massive lack of experience in not only his coaching staff but in his team of players.

he has an immature lockerroom that does him no favors and doesn't have what it takes to get their heads out of their butts because he has enough issues himself to deal with.

the job is just too big for him right now.

not sure it will ever not be too big for him.

To be fair, I think his reasoning for not kicking the field goal - swirling Chicago winds - is a valid one, at least on the surface. I don't think I agree, but I can see where he would make that call.

I understand why you would believe that the odds were against making the kick, but you have to try. It's still an infinitely higher probability for success than a 50 yard hail mary. If Medlock misses that kick from 51 with those winds, no ones holding it against him.

We have had a flawed offensive scheme in most games and when flawed we are unable to adjust.

Moving forward this season can he adjust or is this as good as it gets? Even when we are clicking he seems to blow it as he did in Bears game and that was our defense.

*3 years of pathetic drafing = Young players not good enough

*Half the national dept spent on the back field = no good FA veterans

*Not adjusting during the game = this is on Rivera

We have been prepared in every game but the Giants one even woth undertalented player. So someone in the coaching stauff is doing things right. Changing coaches is not going to quick fix this team.

Dude, Jaws said it best. It's a gimmick college offense. That doesn't work in the NFL. You see how good we looked vs the Bears offense wise? If he just called a couple play actions on first down the score could've possibly been different. It's crazy what happens when you mix poo up.

Yeah, like I said, I can see why he did it, but I'm with you that you gotta try.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      Sorta related.  I just looked up a stat:  Success rates for NFL draft's second rounders.  I was surprised that it is 49%.  The success rate for first rounders is 58%.   Here success does not mean those that did not bust, it means that roughly half of the players selected in the second round become full-time starters at some point in their careers.  Busts do that too.  However, considering the fact that a first round talent is worth up to 1800 points (first overall pick) more than the first pick of the second round and as low as 350 points (last pick in first round) higher than the last pick in round 2, it seems there could be cases in which it would be to your advantage to trade out of round 1 and draft two or three second rounders for the value.  Of course, the elite players are likely to be gone, and some positions overwhelmingly suck after round 1 (traditionally, like QB or LT, for example), but if you need to find starters at positions like DT, G, LB, S, C, TE, RB, etc, there could be a time when you trade back for more starters.  I was surprised that the margin between rounds 1 and 2 was only 9%.    While I realize that some of you sofa scholars are thinking, "Well duh?  Trading back gives you more players." as you wipe the Cheetos off your shirt.  Not the point.  The point is you have to consider the draft,the needs (and the number of them), and you need to scout the second and third rounds like you do the first, the cap, and the long-term impact.  If you can find 2 players with a 49% chance of becoming a starter, are you better off than drafting one player who has a 58% chance in the long term? So if I traded away my first rounder for two second rounders (a trade most teams would make) regularly, when I got 10 second rounders (by trading 5 first rounders), 5 would be starters.  If I did not trade and kept my 5 first rounders, 3 would be starters.  Furthermore, their rookie contracts would be much cheaper than the 5 first rounders.
