Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Dan Snyder deserves some credit imo
- putting together a few people/team of outsiders early on this season to help him prepare to find a HC, with Bruce Allen getting zero input or participation. He was proactive and didnt wait until week 17 to being the process. - Keeping it almost completely secret and not a media talking point. Only last week did we start to hear that Dan had gathered a team of outsiders to help him transition. This could have been a cloud of speculation and media hyperbole but it was kept under wraps with no leaks. - Getting the no. 1 choice Ron Rivera when I assume he could have landed multiple jobs. Obviously who knows how Rivera will pan out here but I like Snyder being proactive and keeping it silent.

I like the hire and the young talent...but this is all shit we have seen before. I wont give this team the benefit of the doubt until well into the next season. Ita just more of the same, until it isnt anymore.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
If this team can get a legit Defense for once, I don't see why they cant compete for the East next yr.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
We've been through this too many times for me to be fooled again. It's like an abusive relationship.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
I don't blame you at all, I'm a little excited about this whole thing.. Not super pumped, but excited with some reservations. We need to acknowledge that Ron has shown that he can manage a team and win. Out of all head coach candidates this year, Ron is one of the top viable candidates and I believe it would be a win for Redskins if Ron becomes Redskins head coach.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Reports are that he may bring in Steve Wilkes as DC. Am i missing something, other than that they coached together for a couple years. Nothing about Wilkes resume is particularly impressive.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
Agree on that, he did a great job the Super Bowl season but since then he hasn't been very good

Ron Rivera Thread
On the GM question, there are only two possibilities: either Ron and Dan already have agreed on the name(s) that would work, as Matty said, or a new structure is being put in place with Smith, Rivera, Schaffer, and Snyder running it all. No way Rivera is coming on board with a question mark at GM.
I fear a little that Dan is promising a level of control to Ron that is unrealistic with an eventual GM and/or that Dan sees himself as the White Knight and wants to be more active in fixing the Redskins.

Only way I see Kerrigan staying is as an outside linebacker with more coverage responsibilities. That's not a good look for him at this stage of his career. |

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
no surprise...he's close with Wilkes and was elevated to assistant HC at one point with Riverboat. I think its a positive at this point to have someone to lean on in order to get the structure down within the team.

Re: Ron Rivera Thread
+1 on this. Suspect addition if it does happen. I'm sure Wilks and Rivera are good friends but I don't see anything at any of his previous stops to inspire confidence. I'd be ok with this if Rivera is defensive playcaller.
