Phillips has this one backwards if we take the words at face value 

Pretty sure Phillips has an in with Jason Wright.

Way too late but good riddance

Good! Unfortunately, after 4 years, Im assuming Ron's scheme will be the same as JDR's.. So, same ol' same ol'.

Dust up Friday

Ron simply making a move and trying to avoid getting fired himself before seasons end.  

[Redwards]

I gotta echo Stephen A Smith's comments though: Ron Rivera has had 1 winning season in the past 8.  ONE.

 

At what point do you look around and realize the real problem is YOU.  

 

If coaches were going to be fired today, Ron, unequivocally should have been amongst them.  

 

Also: is the next HC going to be hired based upon the condition that he has to develop Sam?  Or are they going to get the best HC they can find?

 

It better be the latter.  The entire team comes first.  There's no way I'm confining my next HC to having to develop the incumbent.  I want the best damn HC prospect there is.  PERIOD.  If Sam is to his liking, fine.  If not, then I have no problem with it.  TEAM FIRST.

If we had like a sean mcvay on the defensive staff champing at the bit to get his chance this could give us a little bump but we don't, we have the same guy who has overseen the assembly of this disaster for the last 4 years taking over.

 

If anything it could actually get worse if that's possible.

when i saw the news of JDR getting fired I was worried the D might play better and we might now start winning games... then I saw that Ron was taking over for calling the D... now I am not so worried. 4-13 OR BUST!

[profusion]

Perhaps evaluating the defensive players and position coaches was too difficult with Del Rio calling the shots. This is a way to get film on the players with some different playcalling. It'll be interesting to see how Ron coaches 'em up, whether it's any different.

[slinky]

Ron has no future as a HC any more. Maybe they are trying to do him a favor by letting him get some recognition for calling defensive plays the rest of the season to help him land a DC position somewhere else.

Nah, the other post came from Twitter and the official Commanders is the right one, ATG. 

[Warhead36]

Firing Jack is Rons last gasp as coach. If somehow he turns the D around he can use that to try to salvage his job. “See with me running the Defense and a talented young QB were gonna win games next year!”

 

Wont happen but thats his last shot. 

[Koolblue13]

It's like someone got tired of seeing Ron just stand there with his arms crossed on the sidelines, wondering if he's awake during the games.

[NoVaSkins21]

This is the first shoe to drop.  Rivera and Mayhew need to follow 

[Chump Bailey]

Del Rio should have been fired weeks ago.

[gooseneck]

Can they hire a Pee Wee coach now to coach our secondary?

Probably the worst DC I have seen in Washington considering the resources spent on the Defensive side of the roster. Good riddance. 

Have we forgotten Manusky and Haslett? 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Ron taking over the defense is the only move to make.  
 

But who’s going to coach the secondary?

 

Is Ron doing a “day after the game” presser?

 

I do think this basically ensures Ron is here through the end of the season.  If he’s fired at this point, the defense is basically going ri have to coach themselves because it would be down the original coordinator, replacement coordinator and the secondary coach. 
 

They’re running out of bodies.

How many 1st round draft picks did they have to work with?  Del Rio made Haslett look like Buddy Ryan.

Yeah they were both awful but neither had the amount of resources invested into the D the way Del Rio had.

This is why he decided to do it now, and not after getting embarrassed by Buffalo.  He's only doing it to save his own skin.  Why people cannot see that and think this is something worthy of jubilant celebration is beyond me.  No celebrating until the entire staff (and all of that cancer Snyder hired) are gone.

Joe Barry is the worst DC in rhe history of the NFL and it’s not that close.  
 

How the hell we went from Haz to Barry to Manusky to Del Rio is wild.

 

At least Del Rio had 2 years where the defense ended well.  None of the rest of them can say that.  
 

Low bar but Del Rio is the best of the worst. 
 

Glad he’s gone though I’m not sure I care that much about the timing
