Ron Rivera Thread

I think you’ll see Ron Rivera make some changes from how he did things with the Panthers. This is the second half of his coaching career. I believe he had an honest review of his time as the Panthers coach - what he did right and wrong. He will look at successful strategies and new tactics from other coaches.

BL - Rivera will be a different HC than he was before. He didn’t win a SB with his last team and now he must change to get one.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

Listening to Ron on the DP show...we got the perfect guy to navigate the Redskins thru this dark time. We got really lucky with Bruce gone and the hiring of Ron

Heard it too...he's a class act through and through. I don't know if he'll succeed here or not, but we couldn't ask for a better guy to be leading this team through all of this crap of 2020.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

I heard a good part of RR zoom Q&A with reporters the other morning but couldnt find a transcript but JP Finlay twitter does a good breakdown.

- WR position biggest concern for him

I'm amazed at how people act like RR is a hugely successful coach, he's barely above .500 with a franchise that is nowhere near as screwed up as WFT. He's a good hire for now because he's stable but I'll be amazed if he's here in 5 years.

He has had success in the pro level, went to a Super Bowl.

Has his teams been perennial winners? No. He;s averaged 9 wins a season and went to the playoffs 4 of the last 7 years...how have the Redskins done?

I do believe Cam Newton is horribly overrated due to his "look at me 24/7 act" and media loving it. He's a HORRIBLE passer.

Despite his team's offensive troubles, his team has always had great defenses up until last season, always ranked in the top half of the league, usually Top 10, and even top-ranked in the NFL in 2015.

The strength of Coach Rivera is his team's discipline, he's a man that puts his foot down and players will follow him. That's EXACTLY what this team needs after the far-too-many years given to Gruden's incompetent free-for-all orgy atmosphere. Before that we had Jim Zorn! This team has lacked a read leader at Head Coach for a LONG, LONG time.

Even if we don't win right out of the gate, he'll bring some respectability and stability back to this team. We need that more than wins right now, as that's the first step in getting back to being successful on the field.

He's the right man at the right time.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

Think what you will of RR but the team clearly out kicked it's coverage in getting him here. He would have had his choice of just about any opening.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread

At the end of the day, he has to win, probably won't do much this yr with this young roster but if he has a below .500 record after year 3 he'll be gone
