Ron fired Del Rio to ensure he wouldn't get fired mid-season. The only guy who could serve as interim HC was Jack. It was a political firing through and through.

Promote the waterboy to HC, I bet he would do a better job.

I bet Ron had nothing to do with that firing. I'm willing to bet that was Harris telling him somebody needed to go.

No way. What does Harris care? He's going to fire everyone on Black Monday regardless - this year is a wash for him. That move was all Ron making sure no matter how embarrassing things get, he won't be fired mid-season.

A self-preservation move by Rivera.

That's a move you make over a year ago, not now when you out of playoffs and with a new owner. It's way too late at that point.

I agree wholeheartedly. I surmise Rivera was feeling some heat, whether real or perceived, and decided to finally make a move (to fire a staff member) before his ass ended up on the chopping block.
