Reasons Why Rivera Is Out (But Hasn't Been Let Go Yet)


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

What scares me is that Rivera continues to insist that he and JR are going to sit down and decide his future. I don't like that unless that conversation consists of Jerry telling him that his fate rests in the hands of the new GM.

All I know, is we have to start making some moves like NOW. Other openings are popping up all over the place and the longer we sit and wait, the worse our options will be. I'd rather just keep Rivera for another year than fire him a week from now likely after the top candidates are either signed or at least narrowed down their list of choices.

No different than the method used to find free agents every year....

We need to just accept we will not be good as long as JR is owner. We are not a professionally ran organization and cannot compete with those franchises that are. We might luck into a winning season every now and then, but we will not compete at a remotely high level on a consistent basis. We just have too many self-imposed handicaps.

I'd like it if the conversation goes like this:

JR: "Either you fire Chud or I fire you AND Chud. The man is a stubborn idiot who is going to get MY star quarterback injured beyond repair within 3 years."

Rivera: *sits and stares with that empty lost puppy look in his eyes*

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
