RandyHolt Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have to eat crow nom nom I didn't think a coach with a resume would come here. It's pure gold to hear Allen had to be jettisoned for the interview to happen. It validates all that we have known for ~5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazedSkinsfan Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Welcome to DC Riverboat Ron!!!!! You have your work cut out for you, but I think you are the man for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evmiii Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 When the dam is leaking, you are not worried about the paint. This team has had a fundamentally disorganized and destructive foundation for a decade. I think Ron is the pefect hire to start repairing a decade of neglect. The Redskins didn't get there over night and they won't fix everything overnight, but this is a step in the right direction. Ron Rivera's reputation instantly helps the "culture" of the team. Realistic and justified hope is a powerful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I am interested to see how much player acquisition control Rivera will have. He, obviously, will be involved in the selection of draft choices and bringing in FA's. But, will he be the deciding factor, be a GM/Coach or something in between.

He was so arrogant, when Keim asked him about the rumors after the game he smiled and said he would see them Monday. NO YOU WONT BUDDDDDYYY.

If Ron was the better choice now instead of two in the bushes then you take what is in your hand and hopefully he turns out to be better than what is in the bushes. I don't think he is a bad hire. He is still better than Gruden. I am glad he is defensive minded, I really like that. I probably don’t know enough about him, and some of the stuff I here is encouraging. I definitely better than Gruden (sounds like a motivator unlike Gruden) and I am super glad it’s not Marvin Lewis like some speculation had us going after. I know they are few and far between, but I really wish we could find an Arians type that can lead men. Like Jonathan Allen said I really want consistency because it is the hardest thing to establish. I don’t know if he brings that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been reported and reinforced multiple times in the last couple of days that Rivera doesnt want full control, just to have someone that he can work together with on personal and he has final say on the 46 on game day. He doesnt want to have to focus on FO stuff, which sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Sounds like until we assign a new GM, which is likely to be after the draft, he will have more input because no one is there currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I am ready to buy in again. Thanks Dan for doing what needed to be done. Only time will tell if these moves will bring success, but if you can't get excited about the changes that have been made why even bother being a fan anymore? For me, one very encouraging aspect of our new coach, is that while he has prior head coaching experience...he has not won the big one. Could we be getting a Bellichik type who does far better in his second stint than he did in his first? I'm not suggesting he will have that level of success, only that he still has something to prove to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darc Requiem Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Apparently Coach Rivera is going after Jack Del Rio for the D-Coordinator job. Edit: Can someone explain the fascination with Josh McDaniels to me? He crashed and burned in Denver. In addition, he reneged on his deal with the Colts.

my_friend_goo Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Although I like the fact that Allen is gone and a new head coach is in place, I'm not sold on the decision making here. Retreads don't usually work out, or even perform better in their second posting. However, the circumstances are unique so there's no way of knowing how this will turn out. His track record is known and I can see that Rivera has experience of high level success, but will he be able to apply it more consistently with the Redskins and turn this team into a contender? As a fan of the team, I wish him nothing but the best. If he achieves here what he did with the Panthers then that would make him the best coach of Snyder's tenure and hopefully at the very least mark the turnaround in the franchise's fortunes. One man alone cannot make the team a success, so here's hoping Dan puts in place the staff and facilities he needs to make this a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m interested in seeing what he does coach-wise on the offensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Welcome Ron, please do better than all the other coaches before you under Snyder. Also, please do better for us than you did for the Panthers. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the thought that he's here only for some mad power trip, because of course Snyder is the only one dumb enough to give it to him. Fan opinions dont matter much, but I've been hearing some chatter from the media like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all reports this is actually one of his strengths. He is loved by players and they bust their tails for him. Highly respected in this regard. We were extremely fortunate to get him in all honesty, imho. Actually excited for next year already. Good times ahead I hope. We at least give ourselves a fighting chance now. Looking forward to 2020! Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember growing up when we used to think we'd had a terrible year if we didn't hit double-digit W's on the season. Very meh and underwhelmed on the appointment but I was set for that so any issues I have from his time in Carolina and the dude himself is a non-issue from here on in and he starts with no-preconceptions and a totally clean start as our HC as far as my outlook on him. Here's to a (hopefully) much brighter future. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles mannley Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Just heard he is looking at Jack Delrio as Defensive Coordinator per Shefter. Conversation Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Soon-to-be Redskins’ HC Ron Rivera is expected to target former Jaguars’ and Raiders’ HC Jack Del Rio as his new defensive coordinator in Washington, per sources. He is the leading candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
