Re: Ron Rivera Thread
The articles I’ve read say that Rivera will have control of the 2020 draft / FA, after which time they will hire a GM & a VP. Perhaps that means the GM or VP may come from the current Redskins executives that are left (such a Kyle Smith) or from the outside. I believe part of the reason Rivera wants control of the draft is to make sure Snyder doesn’t rebut in any promises he made to Rivera about too much involvement in personnel decisions.
I also saw articles /quotes that say he doesn’t want long-term personnel control. After this draft he’ll work with the new GM, who he will approve. The 2020 draft is critical for Rivera because these players will be on his team the longest for his 5-year contract. Also, the #2 draft pick is a big decision - Chase or trading for draft picks.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Ron Rivera interview:
“I’ve had four weeks off and time tired of getting up and doing dishes. You guys think I’m joking, but I’m not.” Love this guy.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Sounds like Dan was all in on Ron right after he was fired

I think he is an introvert with social anxiety. A big reason he doesnt speak much and needs to have an Allen or Vinny around to do all the talking for him. just 100% my uneducated uninformed personal opinion Good for him to get out there.

Credit where it's due, Dan is obviously uncomfortable with being a public speaker and the first step is confronting that fear head on. I am happy he chose to come out and speak to the media directly instead of finding any staffer willing to do it for him. I wish he would do it more often. There is no one man more responsible for how far the Redskins go. Also, idk why but I got a serious Jeremy Piven in Entourage vibe from Dan up there. I know he's probably not that bad but that's the vibe I was getting.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Two Things on that press conference:
1) Rivera is balls. I actually got intimidated watching and listening to the guy and I was streaming this 1000 miles away, clearly he commands the room. No more "Club Jay" atmosphere that's for sure. 2) Got to give Dan credit, I know 90% of the fans hate him, but I always felt he wants to win. Clearly, he went all out to land Ron. You can tell, from not knowing what holiday just passed (New Years not Thanksgiving), to the bags under his eyes, he has been working his ass off to make this happened. Thank you Dan Snyder! |

Dwayne improved his on field play dramatically over the course of the season. The off-field stuff and leadership... He's definitely a work in progress. Rivera admitted he was a project and had a ways to go (don't remember the exact phrasing), but did say he could be a franchise QB.
