I dont see why guys just dont go back to being a DC with the organization they were a HC with..

they had their chance, its business. stay on as DC and we will pay you well.

It would create a divide in the leadership, causing a power vacuum. Plus, coaches pick their own coordinators, and they want people they know.

You just have to know. There has got to be that feeling in the interview that the guy can manage every aspect of the team every day. He has to have a plan, be charismatic and energetic, and he has to be smart.

 

Rivera doesn't manage this team well. He deals with our players well and they buy in to him. He's a good guy. He's a good defensive strategist. But he can't manage the football game. What sucks is that it just seemed so obvious from day 1. There's a reason that the guy was nothing more than a yearly Rooney rule interview.

Coordinators sometimes have no identity and then fall into the habit of second guessing themselves and over correcting the first time something goes wrong or the press criticizes you.

Just understand that sometimes you lose. It happens. Stay true to a core belief and fug the media and fans.

Rivera has second guessed himself so much he doesn't know which way is up.

I dont buy it. Sure if the coach is sour about it, but why would you be sour about it if you had your chance and failed. Go back to doing what your successful at. 

 

No shame in that. No hard feelings, just business ie the nature of the beast. 

 

Coaches shouldnt be picking their coordinators without the approval or guidance of the GM.

I feel you..Retread head coaches seem to be doing ok now. Reid, Fox are good examples. Wouldn't mind seeing Cowher or Gruden here...really I think we could use a Gruden...we have had a "players coach" far too long in this locker room...

If you are talking Jay Gruden then yea but if you are talking John then No.

I dont want retreads though unless he was a proven winner and you pair them with the best of the best coordinators. There is a reason they were fired in the first place. 

 

Reid never won anything in Phili and until he wins something in KC I will not give him props. Fox is just piggy backing off Peyton.

Dude, this isn't madden. It's not that easy. If you've played football at any level, and then had to switch systems, you'd understand.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
