Rivera wants Bears HC Position

[msadows]

...and he seems to know a LOT more than many here or perhaps way more ahead with his general NFL knowledge than most were at his fucking age ..
He used "Chino" ffs..not many even knows Ron's nick.

I do remember Lovie saying trust me when he didn't resign Chico, I think our defense went to shit the next year. 5-11 or 9-7 after the super bowl. Then we had double B who sucked and lovie called play and he sucked. So time does change memories for some

Same could be said about Trubisky

You guys make everything about Trubisky. SAD!

Ron Rivera Reportedly Wants a Job (With the Bears!) That Isn't Open - Bleacher Nation

This fit just doesn't seem meant to be.

That entire article is just a rewrite of a La Canfora article.

Ron Rivera will have strong market for his services, but his two ideal landing spots may not open up

Rivera was fired from his longtime post leading the Panthers this week

How would Rivera be a “reach” though? It’s also not like his success was 10 years ago. He was in the super bowl 5 years ago. Might have won too if Cam could jump on a fumble in the super bowl.

You can't be serious. I liked your comment about "too proven" and "doesn't call trick plays twice a drive" because I thought those were clever slams on dumb ass owners and Nagy's dumb ass moments.

You don't bail on a HC in middle or front end of a deal for a just-fired coach. The reputation Chicago would have for coach-killing would make us instantly the WORST franchise in the eyes of owners, GMs, players all of NFL. It's a nonsense notion that while it opens up for good zingers like your first comment needs to be summarily dismissed as easily as aliens on the fricking moon.

3 playoff years out of 9, two coming in the first three seasons, and a SB loss doesn't exactly fill me up with warm memories. Let the excuses for why you elevate a mediocre coach commence.

You are not wrong just that Lovie > Trestman, Jauron, Wannstedt, Ditka, Gibron basically everyone except Halas and Nagy (due to not enough data).

Bears have more than just an issue getting a QB in their 100-year history.

I’m just going to chalk up you not being able to follow a conversation to boomers not know how to use the internet.

Boomers invented the interwebs, boob jobs and thongs. ?

Can't put Lovie ahead of Ditka when Ditka actually had a ton of success, though I feel like he also wasted what could've been a dynasty.

 

[Bearly]

If he had better catchers, Rivera may of had his SB.

Lovie never went 5-11 ANYTIME after the super bowl...

It appears time does change memories. Namely yours...

BEARS

I'll grant it's debateable but I feel like Lovie got more out of his talent taking them to two NFCC games and one SB than Ditka did because he should have had more with his greater talent but consistently got outcoached by Walsh, Parcells, and Gibbs, so I usually fall under the camp of Lovie > Ditka ... BUT I won't pick that fight to draw a debating line and die on that hill for that particular cause.

SB appearances? Lovie had one, and he lost because of his shit gameplan and complete failure to make in-game adjustments. He completed squandered a generational defense. Just because he's at the top of the trash heap doesn't make him any better than the garbage around him. It's like asking who's the Bears best QB. Who gives a flying fuck? They all pretty much suck.

When Bill Belichek was HC in with Cleveland he was going no where....he also had no Qb. He was thought of as garbage.
N.E. takes a chance on him. He hooks with Bledsoe and Brady. The rest is history. So the point I'm making is 90% of the time, you show me a so called bad HC and u can bet he has Qb problems.

Two things here 1) Smith should have continued the aggressive rush on Manning, he instead went that "cover2 D" . Bad move. On the other hand, Grossman literally threw the game away. 2) It was that "generational defense" that kept us in most and got us to SB. Is Smith the greatest ever?....far from it. Did he do well to get us to SB without a Qb?...yes.

It's like asking who's the Bears best QB.

EXACTLY. Therein lies the problem with most of our past HC's. No good Qb

 

[Raskolnikov]

Its inappropriate for a head coach to comment on an occupied position. Bad start.

I think pagano is a disappointment and I'd be open to offering him DC autonomy under Nagy.

I never liked all the Ditka histrionics after the SB win. On the other hand, I like what Ditka did. He was at the time.....the kick in the pants we needed to start winning.
Now....just like I've been saying, teams need a reliable Qb. Ditka didn't have one after McMahon. Jim Harbaugh had potential, but Ditka mishandled him.

Ron will be in NY with the Giants.

 

[KittiesKorner]

Too young to remember the good Lovie days. Nagy is actually the best HC I’ve witnessed coach the Bears. Trestman era was a when I started watching Bears football.

you're also too young to remember Rivera getting butt raped as DC in the 2005 playoffs

 

[JD Trendleton]

I heard Leslie Frazier will be available.

 

[TezMaKai]

This thread just reminded me that I need to pick up meatballs on the way home from work because my fiance is making spaghetti tonight.

 

[JD Trendleton]

We would be idiotic to get rid of Nagy. Going from Fox to Nagy is about as good as it gets. He's 10x the coach of Trestman, Jauron, Wanndstedt as well. Only legit coaches this organization has had are Halas, Ditka and Lovie.
