I keep seeing everyone suggesting that there is no way Rivera is fired mid-season.  I'm curious if G-man is such a great GM why he wouldn't do this now.  The season looks lost.   Perhaps firing Rivera would jumpstart a miracle comeback.  What else is there to lose?  Make McD the HC and see what happens says I.

Jerry Richardson would have to pay his salary for the rest of the season even though he wouldn't be coaching.  That is the only downside.  The upside, maybe the reaction the team would have to losing their coach would either make the team go into tank mode so we could have a good draft pick or maybe finally light a fire under the team and start winning.  Either way it's worth a shot because nothing is changing with Rivera at the helm.

1) It's unlikely that McD would save this season

2) JR hates firing people mid season - when he and I spoke he said he felt he paid a coach to develop players and that firing them was basically letting them off the hook.  Also, he literally told me that would cost money and fans don't like when he has to recoup losses since the like prices being low LOL

3) Reality is the season isn't totally lost, even if most of us feel it is... I mean, it's four games in and we aren't making the playoffs but you never know I guess.

Gettleman is a yes man. JR runs this show. He does what Richardson tells him to do.

It was Jerry who forced Rivera on Gettleman in the first place. Yet you think Gettleman actually calls the shots? Nope.

Not being a smart azz but is this true?? I hear this all time but I haven't seen anything credible to prove it.

I think we are all wondering that same thing. Firing a coach mid season just isn't J.R 's way.

Of all the replacements that Rivera had to hire this season he did a good job of not hiring a capable fill in.

There isn't a position coach on this team who would do worse as the HC than Rivera!

 

Ricky Proehl anyone!

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
