What does Riverboat Ron look for in an assistant coach?

After this year, both of our coordinators will likely be in discussions for HCs at both the college and pro levels.  Shula's actually been a HC at Alabama, and can now point to some success to justify another shot.  He's also on a one year deal.

 

If you recall, everyone defended the Shula hiring as the right one, for continuity and conservatism's sake.  But say he's gone for whatever reason.  Do you think Rivera finds another guy just like him--a keep it simple type of guy?  Or does he roll the dice and look for the next Sean Payton? 

 

Can you imagine this team with a creative OC?

I hope Shula is not brought back. Being ~25th in total offense is unacceptable. I don't care where you are in rushing.

I'd like to see Hue Jackson interviewed again. I think he could do wonders. A Coryell style offense, and still knows that the run game is important.

Jason Garrett gets fired in Dallas and becomes OC in Charlotte.

 

 

 

 

.... waiting for incoming mortar rounds...

 

I can't believe I'm saying it...but I honestly wouldn't hate this.  His offenses are decently potent, the only issue I'd have is him having to change to a degree and commit to a run game which he drifts away from in Dallas.  If he can help make Miles Austin into a #1 receiver, I like to think about what we could do with some young new talent.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
