I need to learn more about him but the DVOA numbers on his defense aren't good from what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperX22 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 9 minutes ago, downundermike said: Not good. A take from Commander fan below. Can't say that I fully agree with that sentiment. RR has always had above average defenses throughout his career, JDR on the other hand has provided over bottom half of the league defenses his entire career. JDR is a mouth breather and was not a great hire by RR. The question is going to be whether or not the game has passed him by a bit because he hasn't solely been in charge of a defense without HC responsibility in over a decade.

Last Stand Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, EagleBlueDon said: Yeah I feel like Rivera and all other coaches under that ownership need to be given a grain of salt. I'd be fine with Rivera. I sense some bitterness as well. I also think fans overrate the talent on their teams roster more often than not i know I do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s a good DC. He’s run good defenses. I don’t think he’s a top 5 guy or something but I’m not sure that guys out there 1 minute ago, CasperX22 said: Can't say that I fully agree with that sentiment.

I’m not too worried about that. He knows what’s happening in the game. If anything it’ll be an easier job lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Stand Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 4 minutes ago, EaglesPeteC said: Why? He was an excellent DC for the Rams. All because he sucked as a Head Coach doesn't make him a bad DC... Him being a weasel and sucking because he was incapable of leading a lockerroom whilst the ownership spent copious amounts of money on the defensive side of the ball which he could never get right Is different than a proven defensive mind over a long period of time having 2 outstanding defenses over his time in Washington despite the nfls worst ownership maybe ever and yet Riveras leadership was never questioned I’d say those are 2 different situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperX22 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 2 minutes ago, Last Stand said: Ron rivera wink martindale Dennard Wilson (who should’ve been hired last year) I'd definitely add Leslie Fraser and Mike Zimmer if they decide to get back into coaching. But yeah other than that I think those are the 5 I'd be ok with. Don't like a lot of the other 1st time coordinator candidates. We might disagree on the order, but I think we're on the same page.

Last Stand Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Nick is definitely coming back lol. Eagles just set a press conference for wednesday im becoming increasingly nervous that Jim bob cooter is gonna be our OC lol But I expect to hear the eagles have hired Ron Rivera within the next day or so followed by I’m hoping anyone but Jim Bob cooter we don’t need offensive cooter calling plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only issue with those 2 is they took a year off. Zimmer 2 years I believe. But from a success standpoint I’d be all for it i think wink is a great option. I worry that he got into that huge fight with daboll. That’s concerning imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Jim Bob Cooter coming into to call plays in the same offense we just ran would be ******* misery lol. I know he is highly regarded in NFL circles, but I just don't get it. Bring in someone from another system or watch the same **** unfold again......
