Cred I like you but you're talking crazy at this stage of the game. I know it's in ticket sales' best interests to get fans excited for next year but we've done this dance too many times to fall for the hype.

Every team is going to reload during the offseason, I wouldn't even think about what we can achieve next year before a single roster move has been made.

Alex Smith could be the GM all along , making these decisions with Dan behind closed doors

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

I'm glad if it's Rivera,but he doesn't need total control,one of the few things that work for us is that we do have a decent front office so he should just coach,and Danny should just get the f-ck out of the way...CAN YOU DO THAT DANNY???

I'd be ok with Wilks coming in as DC if Rivera is hired. He didn't fare well as a HC in Arizona, but the defense was decent - it was the offense that was terrible. His specialty is the secondary, which is what desperately needs to be fixed here. I wouldn't say his resume is impressive, but there's nothing there that really turns me off. I think his relationship with Rivera is a positive, and would allow Rivera to be the HC, and not feel obligated to be over-involved with defense.

I'm most interested about the overall structure of the organization now. I can't wait to hear how all the pieces fall, if in fact Rivera is going to be the new HC.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

I’m dreaming of this starting defensive lineup combo (extra player added)

Sweat, Payne, Ionnadis, Allen, Young, Foster, Holcomb, Bostic, Dunbar, Moreland, Collins, draft pick S.

Full control hopefully means DS has 0. The actual structure is critical. For people saying we have been here repeatedly, I would argue that we have only been here once before, when VC was fired.

Snyder has an opportunity to make a seatide change in this organization and its culture. We won't know whether he does it right until the whole scheme is put together and we see the results, BUT, I think Rivera coming in and setting the guiding focus for the organization is a good first step. It isn't walking on the moon, and it isn't staying stuck in the mud either.

@MikeSilver

Give Daniel Snyder credit for being proactive and lining up this deal with Rivera before other teams could pounce. He got his man. Deal expected to be finalized in 3 pm eastern range, assuming no flight delays.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

What’s taking so long to make the announcement of the hiring

It was reported this morning that negotiations were taking longer than anticipated.

My guess is other teams have fired coaches and are reaching out to Rivera, giving him more leverage. I doubt money is an obstacle. Its likely more about control and the length of his contract.

Probably want to do it tomorrow after all of the Black Monday news are over and done with. Also, they are probably negotiating with Rivera on FO staffing and whatnot.
