I know that us wishing for the HC to be fired midseason is ironically such a Dan Snyder move, but I can't understand why this situation didn't warrant it. This isn't Dan Snyder getting impulsive and firing a guy in year two. This was watching Ron Rivera do Ron Rivera stuff. His squad this year is downright garbage and it is shocking because usually a veteran HC isn't embarrassingly bad like this. I will still never understand what anyone thought they were getting when RR was hired here. I remember people talking about superbowls, running the tables, etc, just like we do every time a new HC is hired. To me it seemed obvious that he would be just a guy who wasn't horrible but wasn't going to be good, if that makes any sense. But this year he has been abysmally bad. And once it was common knowledge that Snyder was selling, I figured everyone felt like he wouldn't be here with new ownership.
He probably truthfully should have been fired after the Thanksgiving massacre against Dallas.
Because of keeping RR until the season's end, we will now never know if EB could even be a capable HC because he will be gone now.
