Ok, you've taken possession of Jerry's soul for the meeting tomorrow...

Let's take the most recent reports as the most credible. That is, Jerry has not fully made up his mind on Rivera's fate and much will depend on the outcome of their meeting tomorrow.

You're Jerry Richardson for the day...what do you ask Rivera? What do you want to hear to convince you to let him stick around?

I want to hear what the difference was in the beginning and end of this season. Why were we improved down the stretch? If Rivera can convince me that he knows the reason for the difference in the play of the team, then I keep him. If he stutters and stammers and it appears it was just good fortune, (I don't think that's the case.) then I let him go.

This is the first question I ask him. I want to know what went wrong with the offense. If he basically just says "Chud fuged up" then I would send him packing unless Ron has already made plans to replace Chud. Rivera has to take responsibility for both sides of the ball, period.

I would also ask what we could do differently in our training camp/preseason preparation to get off to a faster start.

I won't ask him anything. I will tell him this

I got good news for you Ron - I am keeping you for another year

I got bad news for you Ron - You don't make a deep playoff run next year, you're gone at the end of next season

You fall 3 games below .500 by the end of september, you're gone the Monday after gameday

You fall 5 games below .500 by the end of october, you're gone the monday after gameday

How is the family Ron :-)

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
