Two updates from Rappaport .. Bruce Allen - President of the Skins is fired; Ron Rivera to be hired today. I think he has the right mindset to work in Washington .. but not certain Belichick could be successful with Dan Snyder.

 

If they all back off and let Rivera do his thing I think he will change the culture there. To produce a winning team he needs good coordinators.

I get that Rudolph wasn't good, but I think Tomlin misses the distinction between "QB with the necessary tools who isn't getting it" (kind of a Paxton Lynch or EJ Manuel type) and "QB who simply doesn't belong in the NFL" -- Rudolph would have given them some chance to win today on a day when throwing the ball in the rain was tough enough for a guy with an NFL arm and impossible for a guy with a Samford arm.

Give me a break.  Until the Bills game, Steelers were 3-0 with Hodges.  Hodges moved them down the field twice at the end of the game with a chance to tie before he threw those picks.  And BTW,  I can think of at least one other good NFL head coach who TWICE entrusted his team’s fortunes to a QB who manifestly lacked “the necessary tools” to be a starting NFL quarterback.

Haha. And the result was much worse.... Tomlin got his team to rally around both Rudolph and Hodges at times this year. Whenever Peterman played the Bills players clearly knew the game was up and played like 1st graders.

Isn’t there a remote possibility that Chucky will offload Carr this off-season and go with his boy Peterman ?

...this should be interesting.....when Chuckie was hired by Raiders, rumors were Allen would join him as they were together in TB......when Brandon got canned by Pegula, he called Snyder about possible Prez job opening if Allen bolted...wonder if he calls Boy Danny AGAIN??............

I could see Jerrah doin something stupid like hiring Troy Aikman. Rumour is he is interested in running a front office or coaching.

 

..naw...Freddy Kitchens should be his guy..........

Hope Rivera changes his mind and goes to NYG instead.

Don't overlook Kris Richard in Dallas.

 

Jerry has promoted from within for 4 consecutive coaches, and Richard has done a phenomenal job with their defense.

Kris absolutely deserves a solid chance someplace. Maybe working under Jerry would give him a better chance for success. Certainly, he'd have the roster to win now.

Snyder as well as Jerry

 

 

 

Jerry doesn't make nearly as many personnel decisions as he'd like you to believe. Will McClay is the personnel guru behind their talent accumulation

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Chargers move on from Lynn and one or both of Fangio/Arians retires.  

 

Quite surprised the Lions are keeping Matt Patricia.  

 

NBC sports reported that Lynn is safe in LA

Im also surprised about Patricia. He’s got one more year.

While you lament about coaching in Washington and Dallas, let's not forget the other black hole for coaches... NY Giants. Only Tom Coughlin and Bill Parcells had success there  and that likely won't change anytime soon. There's really only one type of coach that can win there. A very head-strong, take-no-prisoners kind of personality. The only guy I can think of today like that is Gregg Williams. They'll probably hire Doug Marrone.

Rivera is better than that.  The Washington job is for someone desperate to be a HC.  I hope Rivera doesn't stoop that low.

Yeah I agree, I don’t want him there either. I’m a huge fan of Rivera, think he is a leader of men and a true Head Coach that has also played and succeeded in the league. I don’t want him in the AFC though because we will have to deal with him. Perfect spot for Rivera would be in Dallas. I really hope that happens.

I'd rather he end up with the Giants.  Jerry Jones likes puppets.  Rivera is too good for that, too.  I totally agree that Rivera is a leader of men and a true HC.  I think his history with Gettleman would serve him (and the Giants) well.

Yeah that would be good for Rivera also in NYG. One thing we know is wherever he goes the fan base should be excited because they are getting a legit HC. 

 

 

Rivera couldn't pounce on that Skins job fast enough.  He knew it was going to be his only offer--why else would he go there?

 

The "Riverboat Ron" and Newton combo had 6 of 9 seasons together where they won 7 or fewer games.  Fox did better with Jake Delhomme. 

 

Maybe the most overrated HC ever.
