To not have the sac to make the decision and lets move the hell on. Rivera in Limbo? Look either he is the guy or he isn't you are the owner damn it.

Wow, just simply Wow.

You do realize he fired both of his sons from the organization, right? This is a delicate situation with a new GM coming in. Let's chill out and see what happens.

Perhaps it's because:

1) He wants to get the new GM's input on the hire

2) He almost certainly wants to be sure he can get someone better than Ron before he's fired

3) He may want to see if a deal is workable with one or more of his preferred candidates first

This is not unlike FA. Those who strike the fastest don't always come out on top long term.

There was really never a chance we fired Rivera without a GM in place. People have been saying that for weeks (unless they listened to Lombardi for some damn reason).

We may keep him...we may not (I kinda think they will unless there is a super blue-chip coach still hanging around) but today just wasn't ever happening.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
