bakedtater1 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I mentioned something in the press release of the hiring of Ron Rivera possibly being the best hiring for the Redskins scince Snyder had bought the Redskins. Let's break it all down. I truly believe Snyder has finally seen the light and has hit a homerun with this hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I like the hire. I like his pedigree and many of his accomplishments, but before we dub him the best Snyder coaching hire(which is admittedly more of a speed bump than a mountain) let's let him assemble a staff, run a training camp, and at least win a scrimmage. That said, it feels good to feel good about the future of this team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Seems like a good hire but yet once again the FO is going to be a complete mystery which has always been 99.9% of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Perspective is needed. Every head coach Snyder has gotten, with the exception of Zorn, immediately after was dubbed a great hire. And yet here we sit, 21 seasons into his ownership, 50 games under .500 during that time. Optimism is certainly warranted, but just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think Rivera can be a great hire if Snyder gives him full support, time, and doesn't undermine Rivera's football decisions. Like many here, I have often doubted whether Snyder would ever get the fine balance right between being an involved, passionate owner and a meddling moron. Still, I hope he can change and will do things differently this time around because eating a plate of crows about my opinion on Snyder will be so much preferable to being correct. Snyder got the first step correct: Hire a competent football man to run the ship. Now let him do his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetThePointsSoar Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'd still argue Shanahan was his best, and if he'd never meddled with him a la the RG3 saga, who knows where the Shanahan Era would have ended. But we'll never know. But that's my $0.02. And I'll add though, if Jack Del Rio rumors turn out to be true, this is the most excited I've been for Redskins news in forever. I'm very excited to potentially match up two defensive minded coaches with the TONS of defensive talent we have on our roster after having to suffer through years of abuse watching Haslett, Barry, Mansucky.

dyst Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Nothing personal but what is it with fans and claiming something is the best before seeing proof. Apparently we have the best defensive line, WR corp and now coaching hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs828791 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think what we are going to find some of the first rounders we think just need coaching just really average to some are way overrated and arent very good and the change could actually see some players that have produced take a step back. For example nothing has shown us Allen is anything special, I would argue he is closer to bust then good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is to add a strong front office, exec, structure alongside that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 How many new threads have you started recently? Man-o-day. Hiring a coach means you need to wait and see what they do over time....years. It's like draft picks and the 3-year rule. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Let's see what happens. Rivera has to surpass Gibbs 2 playoff berths, meaning at least 3 berths. He has to win at least 2 playoff games. He does that, then he can earn that title. Whether Rivera becomes one of the greats, he needs to surpass his record in Carolina. That means winning a Superbowl. To be the greatest Redskins coach, he needs to win 4 Super bowls. So, let's see what happens. Yes, he has to surpass the legend. He does that, then we can be proud.

Springfield Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Rivera has done exactly 0 here and the rest of them have sucked for the most part. Gibbs 2 is probably his best hire so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 This is Dan following his same predictable pattern: Hire an unproven offensive coach in hopes that he will uncover the next Joe Gibbs, but undermine him when he flounders because of a lousy roster. Then replace him with a big name established coach and cede full roster control. As a coaching hire, Rivera makes infinitely more sense than Schotferbrains or Lobsterman hires, both of which I loathed. But the set-up is exactly the same, which is irrefutable evidence that after twenty years of failure, Snyderman has learned nothing. Once again, no search for a qualified GM, something we haven't had since Beathard left for SD. Instead, the GM will be the coach's lackey. It's been obvious for some time now that Allen was on his way out, but rather than concentrating on finding a proven replacement, it was all about a shiny new coach instead. Maybe Rivera will be like Belichik or Carroll and excel at dual duty, but it's far far more likely he will be a self-indulgent failure like Holmgren, Shanahan, Schotferbrains, Seifert, et Al.

SoCalSkins Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Rivera is a better hire than Gibbs???? Come on. I love the Rivera hire but nothing was better than the Gibbs hire. It needed to be paired with a Vinny firing but regardless no one ever will come close to Gibbs even including the underrated Gibbs 2.0 era. Playoffs 2 out of 3 years with Vinny picking the ingredients is nothing short of a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itoolu Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 As of right now... Gibbs Shottenhimer Ron Rivera The Shanahan's If Shanny would have hired a competent DC could have been the best hire and Rivera will hopefully move up the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I read from the Rivera quotes a couple days ago was that he doesn't even want full GM control and is fine with the draft and fa being ran by somebody else. Hilariously, considering the favorable position to hire any qualified GM to run the show, Dan will hire nobody because he's actually going to be the GM himself again or continue with his failed committee approach which always fails because of obvious reasons.

NoCalMike Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Yeah it would be nice if there was some more clarification from the organization about what the plans for the actual GM position is going forward.
