Voth: Rivera is Staying

[rayzor]

You guys ready for another 2-8 start?

hey, but come december our guys will light it up and save their coaches job and be home for christmas! whoo hoo! as long as the players are happy with their coach that's all that matters, right? screw playoffs. feeling comfortable is what it's all about.

that's rivera's legacy thus far. underachieving until it's too late. it's up to him and that team of his to change it.

[CarolinaNut]

JR will regret this decision by week 4 next season when we start 1-3

[ickmule]

You guys need to go find another team to root for.

[rayzor]

If a GM is only willing to enter a situation with no coach, then they're limiting themselves to the Cardinals or Chargers. Rivera isn't going to effect the GM search much at all.

only if they're able to move on from rivera if he fails again...which is all he's pretty much done so far.

[Mr. Scot]

We turned the cream of the crop away by forcing a coach on any incoming GM. At that point, you're picking between a guy you know and a bunch of other second-tier guys not in consideration elsewhere. Add to that the fact that we're just starting our interview process next week after other teams are already on their second and third interviews. Richardson knows him and he's not going to get uppity with JR as he continues his bad decision making.

Beane is a very real possibility at this point. Right up our alley.

I doubt we're turning anyone away with this decision since it looks like all the other GM jobs are about to be filled.

Gettleman is only talking to us. Ross doesn't seem to be the leading candidate anywhere.

[SZ James (banned)]

JR needs to hurry up and die or something

[rodeo]

U losers talking about jumping ship - do us a favor and find another team to pull for ASAP.

Go root for the steelers or cowboys like the rest of the trashy/ghetto people do

Do me a favor and suck it, you don't control how I root for teams or not.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Huddle explosion incoming, everyone needs to take a beer break.

[rayzor]

you need to shut your mouth and/or have some higher standards for the team you root for.

[carpanfan96]

hiring beane would be putting a nail in the franchises coffin. you do that and the losing culture remains. it's an acceptance of the status quo.

Unless JR's changed, JR's basically the GM no matter who's hired.

[4Corners]

One thing to consider is maybe Beane & Rivera will share the responsibilities.

Beane handles the cap, business operations, etc

Rivera handles the football players and football decisions.

Might work.

They gotta get better scouting though or it won't matter.

[Ken]

So its official. Sigh, really hope I'm wrong about Rivera staying being a terrible idea.

make me.

i can't honestly believe so many just accept or even defend a losing status quo.

"if you don't love our losing team, go find some other team"

meh....

I'm never betraying my hometown team, but if we promote Beane we deserve years of failure
