Rivera is safe per Yahoo.com

[Marguide]

If JR really is leaning toward a Rivera/Beane combo, then I'm sorry, but I hope we get embarrassed so badly today that JR has no choice but to change his mind.

[frash.exe]

crolls if we hired an english muffin to be general manager would you be in favor of it?

because beane barely qualifies as a better candidate

[Fox007]

I mean to overcome all that. This must be some kind of wonderkid.

You have made him out to be something that is barely employable at all and yet not only is he interim GM he is rumored to be considered as the one to be named.

Yea man, har har! Either that or he could be the GM(interim) of one of the worst teams in the history of the NFL..yea one or the other.

Most of us would rather us move away from that btw. We can start by snagging people from perennial contenders and winners who have shown they can pick the right personnel.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'd have no problem giving Beane a year try out while Rivera tries to take the next step. If it doesn't work, then clean house.

[MadHatter]

lol beane/rivera

Jr man you are so fuging dillusional please retire already fug

Retire? You talk if JR like he is an employee. He is the damn owner. No way he retires.

[Mr. Scot]

sounds like a joke when you put it that way. Also it sounds like if they choose this guy, based on all the damning evidence you have presented against him, he must really have something special.

BIG DISCONNECT

you call it experience, some call it "the old way"

I call it the way that works.

He's quite employable, in a logistics position. Making him the GM would be like taking an administrative assistant and making him CEO.

We've got an extremely complicated cap situation this coming season, and prep for draft and free agency will pretty much need to start immediately.

You want the guy who up till a few months ago was buying plane tickets put in charge of all that?

i've never said what I wanted. Usually you are one of the ones level headed enough not to get confused. I just asked why it was so impossible for an outside consultant to find the in-house guy to be the best candidate once all due diligence is done. In any case, not specifically ours. People were saying that it would be stupid to pick Beane after bringing in an outside source and I just thought that was a stupid reason. Your opinions are well received. I don't agree or disagree. I do find it impossible for him to even be a candidate much less a possible front runner based on your description of him though and would ask you to consider the fact that many people have performed roles for organizations that they were overqualified for. Especially when they are both young and inexperienced. Most GM's don't start out as GM with their first position with a franchise.

Good

[The Special One]

Mike Lombari is a dumb fug, Rivera is stayin'.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I told all you fuging retards

[LinvilleGorge]

Beane/Rivera is a terrifying thought. If it comes to be, I hope like hell it works, but I very seriously doubt it.

[Matthias]

Rivera is not staying after this game.

[The Special One]

We don't want to start all over again, which is what we'd be doing if we fire Rivera. The smart move is to keep him.
