Tangling with Facebook fans is like opening your mouth, diving head first into the sewer, and then wondering why you taste ****. 
 

Facebook (and twitter) fan groups rarely represent the discourse we have going on here, to be honest with you. 

I tangle with fb on occasion; if I comment contrary to group think there.

I have heard rumors that Rivera will be retirng at the end of the year as coach. If this is true I don't think he will be fired during the season.

 

"retiring"

 

huge air quotes.

Dan will pick all the staff and uniforms up on his yacht and they will sail into the east never to be seen or heard from again

Looking at him on the sideline, it looks like he's already retired.

If you’re judging by his posture on the sidelines, then he’s been retired for 4 years already.

What are people's thoughts on Ryan Kerrigan as a coach. Has he made a difference? Will he continue coaching or has this season ruined that?

[Commander202]

Surprised people haven’t mentioned BB enough. I’m pretty convinced he’s going to be the next HC. I personally rather go younger but with all the rumors and connections it’s likely he’s the next guy up.

I rather see him than Ron Rivera if that means anything

The fact he never changed his Carolina panther banner on his Twitter is ridiculous .

Rumor may be Rivera is retiring. What a great play by him to tell Harris that which almost guarantees he won't get fired mid season. Let Ron walk away from the game with respect. Harris knows damn well all he put up with and has been through.

 

Is JDR retiring too.. no you say?

Ron came to DC and did a nice job bringing credibility and a sense of some respectability back to the organization. He had a TON to deal with. Maybe we do need to respect that but that doesn't save JDR. I'm OK letting RR go with dignity and class...

If he retires he doesn't get paid. He will make Harris fire him.

I wonder what Steve Spagnuolo has learned coaching with Andy Reid? He's had success in the NFL but not as a head coach....the Chiefs defense is aggressive, attacks and is killing Hurts tonight? He could be an interesting candidate given another chance to be a head coach.

Hard pass. He's a great D Coord but awful Head Coach.

He is 63 years old which surprises me but he still seems to have some juice left....Probably too old.

Well here is a post from this site in support of Mayhew.  I redacted the poster name etc to protect the guilty.  I’m telling you, there were a bunch of fans in support of the hire

 

 

FWIW that user hasn't posted on the board in almost two years.

I didn't realize he had another year to go. Fire his ass Friday morning then.

 

Regardless, people do retire in this world and forfeit future earnings. Sure its highly unlikely but the dude seems real unhappy to me. Pure speculation but is it unthinkable that maybe he and Harris have a handshake deal in place to let him walk away gracefully at years end. It's a very unique situation with the new owner and Ron is the proverbial dead man walking that added a tiny shred of respectability to the team.

Future schedule looks tough…

 

 

[Warhead36]

We had a pretty easy SoS, a mostly healthy roster, and still stunk.

 

We're a couple key injuries away from probably getting a top 3 pick.

He's under contract next season for $8.5M. I have a hard time thinking he will just walk away from that - I think his contract will be paid up in a settlement and it will be dressed up as a 'retirement' rather than a firing. But the whole front office and coaching staff will be out the door right behind him. Big changes coming at the end of this season.

I think that is exactly right, They'll give him a chance to say he retired, but they're not bringing him back either way.

Man imagine being paid $8 Million to not work because you're that bad at your job.

 

I chose the wrong line of work.

$8M is chump change. 

 

Texas A&M owe Jimbo Fisher $19.4M within 60 days of him being fired and another $7.27M a year for the next 8 years!!
