I forgot that there is still bad blood between Belichick and Crennel. Belichick didn't want him to leave to be a head coach, and he left anyway. No way Crennel comes back to the Pats. Belichick won't allow it.

Edit: As soon as I post, damn, lol!

Lombardi reporting Rivera will be fired today.

I'm conflicted on this. Rivera was garbage for a year and a half, but the team woke up at the end. If you're going to fire him now then you better have a AAA coach coming in.

Speaking of, if Marc Ross is the GM hire then I imagine that'll be announced quickly.

I'd imagine the longer they take to make a decision, the more it favors Rivera staying. And you know what...I think I'm OK with that.

The players clearly love playing for him and you can't say that about every situation in the league (*cough* Tampa Bay *cough*).

Lombardi reporting Rivera will be fired today.

These two posts right after each other are hilarious.

Arguing from history is silly. That kind of logic doesn't work in today's NFL when teams like the Redskins win seven in a row to make the playoffs.

To say he doe not have a history of choking out is silly. Because he won 1 super bowl the argument is invalid? Because anything can happen mentality makes the argument invalid? How many times did they go epic records barely play him then not make the AFC Championship? Now does this mean he will choke this year, no. Nothing is definite(besides browns/lions sucking). But to say he isn't a historical choke is laughable.

The real problem with Denver is they now have 2 weeks before their next game. In state where pot is legal.

Congrats Bob. They also need to get rid of the dead beat dad and some of the other old dudes and start to rebuild. And don't re-sign Cutler. Don't pay premium prices for middle of the road QBs

Need an offensive minded head coach. I agree about Cutler. Bears can put the franchise tag on him if need be. No reason to sign him long term.

Bears roster is fading. Same as the Cowboys and Chargers. CAR and CLE are the best rosters with openings
 
Is Norv gone yet?

There are going to be some nice new OC and DC coordinator candidates this year, and Baltimore should be in the market for both.

Lombardi reporting Rivera will be fired today.

Lombardi's a hack that's been reporting that for a week. Jerry Richardson isn't even in Charlotte today:

Steve Reed @SteveReedAP
I'd highly doubt if we'll hear anything on Ron Rivera's future today, if even this week. I'm told Jerry Richardson is not around today.


Rivera's holding his normal Monday presser in about 5 minutes. Why would they allow him to do that if he's getting fired today?

Too many firings just for firings sake. There aren't enough talented coaches out there at this point.

Which firings do you disagree with?

Reid been there 14 years, 0 rings. you gotta win rings. You dont win at least 1 in a decade plus and had a down streak you gots to go

Lovie Smith, been there like 8 years or some shit, once again 0 rings. got to win a ring

Pat Shurmur, he's a fucking moron and a clown. watching him argue refs over shit that is right is hilarious its like hiring a 12 year old kid that has little to no grasp of the concept of football

Romeo Crennel better off a coordinator

If you really sit down and think about all the legit HC candidates, the list is pretty short. There are going to be a lot of retreads passed around.

Yeah I've been reading around and can't find any other source to back him up either.

I think I'm of the opinion that if we can't get Chip Kelly or get Cowher to come out of retirement, we should probably keep Rivera. When in doubt, go with consistency.
