Ron Rivera Thread

[MTK]

So much for the idea that no quality coach would want to come here.

This is great news, now looking forward to see how the FO shapes up and what plans they have for the roster

I think he wanted the challenge, he's an old school no bs coach and I love that

Keim said same thing.. This notion makes me to like Ron even more - he knows it will be a challenge to work with Redskins given Snyder's history and he gladly accepted the challenge. I'm trying not to drink koolaid too much but it's hard not to. I cannot wait to see what Snyder and Ron will do with the FO structure. I really hope we will keep Schaefer and Smith by promoting them both.

I am pretty sure Bruce Allen getting the boot helped Rivera's decision.

Rivera likely told Snyder he had to get rid of Bruce Allen before he'd sign anything.

Rivera wouldn’t even come here if Bruce Allen was around in any capacity. He wasn’t the only HC and GM candidates who said they were only interested if BA was gone. Bruce had a very poor reputation in the NFL and look how his mismanagement wrecked people’s careers.

5 year deal.

Not sure of how true it was but I saw something on Twitter yesterday that said Rivera's agent wasn't even going to allow him to interview until Allen was gone.

I hope this is true. What ever it takes to get rid of Bruce.

As bad as Snyder has been, I honestly think he's learned over the years. I think he's done much much better in the past 5 or so years and moving on from Bruce Allen might let us all see the progress he's made. Not saying we won't see some Little Danny moments here and there but I don't think Dan Snyder is the same guy he was 20 years ago. Letting Kyle Smith and Eric Schaeffer do their jobs, hell just keeping them in house, plus this hiring process with Rivera. I think he's learned who he can listen to and who he can't. At least, I hope so..

Per John Keon:

Source close to Steve Wilks said at this time he does not expect him to join Ron Rivera in Washington as the DC. Had coached with him in Carolina.

So much for the hands off approach.

Per Grant Paulson:

Dan Snyder is running the house-cleaning show solo today. He is handling exit conversations with departing staffers like Larry Hess in his office at the park. Used to be other people to do that but with Allen out and other changes in the works it's his show today.

I don't think what's being described here is out of bounds at all.
