Ron Rivera Thread

[OmahaRedskins]

I hired the kid. He was the best candidate for the position. It wasn’t his fault his dad was an idiot.

LMAO at G1 being the only one to give this hire an F

I like that Rivera hasn't won a SB. I think getting to the game and not winning it has to have given him internal fuel to am already passionate desire. Couple that with Dan's fanboy desire to recreate the glory years of the franchise and I think you could see a bond forged that will get them past many of the pitfalls of the past 20 years. It takes winning of course. But I believe Rivera can be the coach that brings the best out of DS.

I agree with this post. Rivera is clearly hungry. This new alliance with Snyder could work. The fact that Snyder got rid of Allen is telling to me. Just needs to make sure he doesn't get another Cerrato/BA type.

Starting to get the feeling that, for whatever reason, Rivera has determined KOC is not the guy to run the offense. I am fine with that if that is the case, it is his team to run.

I think if KOC had interviewed and impressed Rivera the hire would've been announced already.

The longer this goes the higher the odds KOC is leaving.

I'm fine with it as long as pick someone in tune with today's NFL. If he brings in some old retread who has put up underwhelming stats somewhere else I'm gonna be uninspired.

My hunch is that KOC wants to be OC under Josh McDaniels wherever he goes this year and therefore he is not "interviewing" well to hold out.

What connections make you think of that scenario?

I wonder who could possibly be involved in the playoffs who would make for a good OC that would leave their current team?

I haven't posted much in the last few months, but this has certainly awaken my interests. Let me start by saying that I live in Panther territory, so it's almost impossible to not keep up with the Carolina Panthers. I will tell you, I have always wanted Ron Rivera as a coach. He turned the Panthers around in just a couple of seasons - a team that was 2-14! No reason why he can't do it in Washington, IMO.

So, I'm on cloud nine right now! Bruce Allen being fired, and now, Ron Rivera being hired. Guys, we are on the right track! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Whether or not KOC is chosen by Ron Rivera to be his OC means little to me. How could any of us possibly know who would work well with RR?

I want Ron Rivera to have the coaches he wants and the players he wants, period. If he gets to run the show his way, that gives him the best chance to succeed here. I just want to win!

We should be applauding the fact that RR has the autonomy to make the moves that he’s making. No more forcing assistants on the HC.

I agree in principal, and I would also echo a point you made earlier with regards to the Skins jobs in general. Scott Turner coming here after how Norv was treated reinforces rhe hope that DS and RR really did have a strong understanding of past actions, and gave Norv and Scott comfort that RR is in charge.
