If the new GM keeps Ron Rivera...

[LinvilleGorge]

I would accept it. I would prefer to replace Rivera, but if he's back with a new OC, I would accept it. If Chud returns, I'm gonna break things.

I think Brandon Beane is going to keep Rivera as HC next year.

Its either Ross or Gettleman. No beane I can assure you.

This is a complex issue. Does the new GM keep Ron because he believes or because Jerry doesn't want to pay someone new? Does the new GM believe in Ron Rivera as our future or does he see him as a short term guy while he builds the roster? Personally, I think Ron Rivera and a very very small % of candidates give us a chance to make the playoffs next year. Long term does Ron have what it takes to succeed? I have serious doubts. His X and Os are brilliant, I agree with him. His talent has been poo and he can keep his team competitive.. But he doesn't run the ship well, he's an engineer, not a Captain. Very Norv Turner like I'm sad to say. So no I would probably not count it as a strike but it would make me wonder what is our plan? Who is in charge? And when will we see results?

As long as we get someone that can coach special teams.

Is that to much to ask?

If Rivera loses this week, then it won't really matter anyway. JR will can him and the staff before hiring GM and when he does hire a GM he will give him the ability to hire his own staff.

However, if Rivera and the Cats win, things could get interesting.

Pretty good chance Bobby April will be looking for work.

Really I don't know, I think if we bring him back it will just be another wasted year and dely the inevitable.And will just be back to square one with an older team.

[Car123]

I think Rivera will be good next year

[KillerKat]

I wont be optimistic if Chud is still here also
