Ron Rivera

[Schneed10]

Yeah I don't agree that there would be damaging fallout from firing Rivera. First of all, at this point there's no more damage that can be done that Danny hasn't already brought upon the organization. They need to be in the business of putting butts back in seats and the longer you let a coach hang around who fans perceive has no chance of getting the team back to winning, the more fan apathy builds up. Which leads to empty seats.

How his firing would go over in NFL circles or in the court public opinion is a much smaller concern when compared with what NFL teams actually care about: profitability. The almighty dollar trumps all in the NFL. They need a team that will win.

That's the same reason though that they'll likely hang onto Rivera through year four and then make a move. They're not going to fire him with two years left on the contract. Costs too much.

After year 4 if he hasn't shown progress, and my money says he won't, he'll be gone. As he should. Because you're in this business to win and make money. Nothing else matters.

I agree with you that I think he'll be back. But let's say they only win like 3 games, and have a top 3 pick in the draft. If they only won like 3 games then Wentz obviously didn't work out...and they could possibly draft one of the QBs this year...do you want the same regime to start over with a new QB...or do you come in with a new coaching staff with the new QB?

Are you asking what I'd like to see happen, or what I think Danny will do?

If they're horrible enough to get a top 3 pick I'd like to see Ron canned after this season, pick a new regime, and let them make the draft selection.

But I don't think Danny cans this coaching staff with 2 years remaining on Ron's deal. Too much money for him to fork over.

I don't think they'll be quite that horrible anyway. We're going to be stuck in this 7-10 purgatory again this year.

Accurate. Season is too long for us to be this terrible all year. We'll get better, maybe surprise a team or two - but we'll definitely be in that mediocre range again this year.

Yeah I was asking what you think Dan would do in that situation if they did have that bad of a season. Again, I think you're right and they'll win just enough to do it all over again next season...but there's a chance they could be bad enough to make all that happen. One more starter knocked out on the Oline and that may do it.
