naptownskinsfan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Except Tolbert was a FA, Olsen was a trade, Thomas Davis and Ryan Kalil came before him. He did develop half of them, which is more than Bruce Allen can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Tolbert - who was pretty much what he always was before he signed in Carolina - Rivera and his coaching staff developed Olsen, Davis and Kalil into the All-Pro players they became.

ARTMONK HOF Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Fred Smoot reported that Snyder and Rivera we’re having dinner with Obama. That would be pretty crazy if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The fact Rivera's hiring hasn't been announced yet is a tad worrying. If that's what they're going to do, then do so. The fact they haven't makes me wonder if Snyder is getting played again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, they went to dinner with the Snyder’s. I think Jp tweeted it out. The deal will likely get worked out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I think they've worked out at least 80% of the details. Yesterday was just a wine and dine. It should be ironed out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a new coach. You forget dinner the night before where they hammer out contract details. it is being reported that yesterday was their first meeting, and if so, then this is all extremely rushed.

As quickly as this moved, I get it, but because of that, I don't think it's the first time they've talked/met (maybe face to face, but)...
