I forget who it was, but I saw someone on twitter post that its a sign of a good house-cleaning when competent people lose their jobs. Rivera is bringing in people who HE hired, who are beholden to him, and who share his vision. There will be no power-plays or mutinies by any of the old hold-overs. The team will either succeed or fail based solely on the job Rivera does, and he's not going to be undermined by any of the old guard. The skins have needed to clean house for a LONG time, and I'm glad to see the it finally playing out. I continue to be supremely impressed with everything Rivera is doing. This is the first time since Dan hired Vinny that we have legitimate reasons for complete optimism for this franchise. True football people are in charge of making the football decisions.

Re: Coaching and Front Office Changes
"Coach Centric"
"Coach centric" is a cool new word I have learned over the past couple weeks. Everything is going to revolve around the Coach vs the traditional GM as the head of decisions. This seems to be the way to go. Im fine with it. The Browns announced they are also going "coach centric". pats are the best known coach centric team bc of Bill and his success. Rivera said in his long meetings with Dan that Dan talked about the winning structure NE has. If there are 15 competent Head Coaches and maybe 10 competent GMs in the league ... why shackle your competent Head Coach with an incompetent GM or vice versa. Assuming you are lucky enough to have a competent Head Coach or a competent GM. If you dont, you are the Redskins for the past 6 years or so. We seem to have a competent Head Coach. Why not let him be the center vs bringing in a less than ideal guy for GM just because we think we need to have someone named GM. Wouldnt be surprised if we dont hire/have a named GM. Rivera/Rob Rogers/Kyle Smith/Alex Santos seems to be our 4 headed decision making committee. Im fine with that.

The Browns didn't fail at "moneyball" they really didn't try it. The article talks about how the Browns hired DePodesta, but never paired him with a coach that would be on board with analytics nor did they allow him to hire a coach that would be on board with it (Hue, Kitchens were never on board with it).

Re: Coaching and Front Office Changes
IDK if I'm buying all this analytics stuff. In the end you have to look at the tape and see how a guy performs in games, how fast he runs in games, not at the underwear Olympics.
Belichick was talking about this stuff on some show. He said that after a loss the team got on the plane and some of the front office guys were on their pads doing some of this stuff. After he watched the tape of the game he came to the conclusion that the reason they lost the game was they didn't tackle well enough... lol. |

While I agree, analytics are not the end all-be all decider and heart/passion can play a big part in a teams success, I'm not against using it in today's modern era. To not even HAVE an analytics department in 2020 is ridiculous and a bit ignorant if you ask me. I say add it to the toolbox and if it can swing even one game in our favor it's a plus.
