Fire Ron Rivera Now - Post Game Thread

[AnonEmouse]

Saw an article on FB suggesting Harris was embarrassed (or should have been) by that performance. I can't see how that's not the final nail in the coffin for Ron. The question is how much embarrassment can he take before enough is enough. I can't help thinking, going to the end of the season proves nothing, even if they can turn the season around enough to compete. Ron can't be anything but fired now, so why wait?

I think he doesn’t wanna seem like an impatient dude like Snyder. But this isn’t Marty after one year. This is Ron coming up short for four years. It would be a good move imo because you are winning 6-7 games tops as it stands.

I can see the patience factor, but in his shoes I'd be thinking 1 more loss like that, maybe 2, and I'd have no choice but to pull the trigger. I'd also have an eye on the trade window and FA market. We could potentially upgrade a couple of positions, particularly OL, but the longer RR is in place, the less likely that is (if he was going to make a move he'd have done it by now). If he hopes to have a decent season he has to fire RR & JDR soon. If he has more of an eye on next season, they may last until game 17. But they're lame ducks now, so I can't see the point waiting. And with EB the logical interim, if not full replacement, that's got to be creating an unhealthy dynamic?

Ron has came up short most of his career except for a few seasons in Carolina and one super bowl appearance:

3 times only in 13 years as HC with double digit wins. One super bowl appearance.

I will never understand how everyone talked him up coming in here like he was some game changer and world beater. Obviously he was the "best of the worst" to be able to work for Dan Snyder and everyone knows that, but why was there so much talk that he was going to "finally" be the right coach to turn things around? Was it just more recycled hope that our next HC would be the one that finally broke the cycle?

The man has done nothing since coming here. He is regularly outsmarted and out schemed. His favorite thing to do this season is stand on the sideline with his arms crossed while we suffer blowout losses.

I am in the opinion of others here that waiting until the end of the season to fire Ron is pointless. It's obvious that he was not going to survive the ownership takeover. Josh Harris and company firing Ron now is not the same as Dan firing Marty mid season. Josh is not Dan, and Ron Rivera sure as hell isn't Marty. If the ownership knows at this point that guys are not going to be here, go on and cut their losses and move us all forward.

he has to has some feelers out there to see what GM is available . . .

[Meks]

I kinda can't believe these clowns are still employed 🤡🤦🤦🤢

[Chief X_Phackter]

I have it on good authority that Jeff Saturday is available.

[skinsfan69]

I'm thinking Ben Johnson has to be on the radar.

[That Guy]

IT is probably time to move on, we'll see how the season plays out, but feels like we're aiming for 8-9 or something right now.

Per Grant Paulsen tweet:

The Commanders through 5 games during Rivera era:

Year 1: 1-4, -33 PTS
Year 2: 2-3, -32 PTS
Year 3: 1-4, -38 PTS
Year 4: 2-3, -51 PTS

Pedersen - has the Jags playing well.
Campbell - has the Lions playing well.
Ryans - has the Texans playing better than expected.
McVay - has the Rams playing better than expected.

New (even if new to their teams) or young coaches showing how bad our coaching situation is right now.

Dude is worse than mediocre. Time to go!

Ron is just cashing checks and doing favors for family.
It’s infuriating we have to deal with this for 12 more weeks.

I can’t imagine Harris firing Ron till the end of the season.
EB f…ed up taking this job. He looks to be one and done here.

Yes but if you look at those numbers upside down in a mirror they are trending in the right direction. You are just being negative
