Rivera on his job

[Panthro]

"Hey Mr Richardson....no backsies."

There is no continuity on this team. There is no momentum going into next year.

It irritates me to no end that Jerry "Al Davis" RIchardson made the call on Rivera before the GM was hired. Cheap Ass

Shula is an unknown.

Rivera has a built in excuse for 2013 already.

Bring in Gruden.

[pstall]

i agree. it's a defacto lame duck coach/season. its the year before the strike all over again.

minus the strike.

[Guest Tom Cat]

Rivera is a dead man walking - I think we will be lucky to go 8-8 next year

[rayzor]

JR made yet another mistake.

this thing is snowballing.

Lord, can we wait until we get another OC before killing ourselves?

[mwright350]

I do wonder if Rivera would have been retained if we had known the OC (and thus most of the offensive staff) would be departing with him.

Although I think so - you have to think that Richardson also spent the beginning of the season going "what in the serious fug Chud?"

[Panthro]

Mr Richardson is infallible and we should be thanking him constantly for running a profitable business.

Hey come here for 1 season...if we don't turn it around you'll pry be fired along with everyone else

the OC job here has 'temp" written all over it.

we'll find some desperate person. smart people will stay away.

norv going to cleveland was an easy decision. come to carolina for what could be just one year or go to cleveland and get two years.

take the money and work with your son.

This is a disaster. We've basically just thrown away the first three years of our once-in-a-lifetime gift of a franchise QB.

this is it right here.

[davos]

The one thing I am interested in knowing is how much Rivera knew or if he was prepared for something like this to happen.

Gettleman is signed being told we have a staff in place for next season...and then, the guy who runs and created our offense leaves. You've gotta think things are feeling uncomfortable already for him and now Rivera is going to either just promote Shula (yay?) or scramble to find a 1 year temp.

ugh

[Darth Biscuit]

Yes, it seems like we've been screwed once again. Hard to believe that this wasn't foreseen. Who wants a more-than-likely temporary OC position other than someone who is inexperienced or who had their chance before and blew it and wants another one.

No top notch guys are gonna want to come here.

Cam went through four offenses in four years, and thrived in all of them. Hell, his worst struggles came when he was under the same scheme two years in a row. He's not Alex Smith, the kid can learn with the best of them.
