Rivera Out?
 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2771399

Wow.

I guess it's too much to wish for that the Chiefs would give this guy a sniff?

Who is your DC?

What the hell is going on? Did I wake up in bizarro world?

The Chiefs would be dumb not to try to get this guy and kick Gun's ass to the curb.

Does Rivera like the Cover-2? I know Lovie made Chicago use it.

I'd like to see Herm make run at him but I doubt it happens. Gun is here as long as Herm is IMO and with the D finally moving in the right direction I don't see it happening.

I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Who is your guy's current DC?

Gunther Cunningham

Gunther Cunningham

damn skippy

and hes not even a "true" Cover 2 guy.....im still trying to figure out why Edwards kept him when he got hired?? Still mystified??

I'm not sure either. I know Herm tried to get him while he was in NY as well but I'm not sure why.

Maybe he will end up in San Diego.

Fire Gunther bring in Rivera

Dont let el borracho see that post.

or make Gun an "assistant head coach" then bring in Rivera

That would lead to a "shit or get off the pot" scenario.

Come on, Rivera is so important that the Bears are letting him walk. Lovie runs that defense. If Herm can replace Gun with Lovie, now we're talking.

That would work for me.

Then Gun will fade away

So..........

Rivera is familiar with Herm's style of defense.

I"ll compose the post on a webpage to let Gunther know....

ROFL

man...That is Harsh!!! hehehe

kcmax

I'm not joking.

Gunther isn't a cover 2 coach....This ISN'T his style of Defense.

If you want to save face, make him a ST clock management and assistant head coach.

Rivera is a better fit in this case. If the Chiefs were serious about winning, they'll at least ponder the option.

"Inside Sources at Arrowhead have indicated that Defensive coordinator, Gunther Cunningham will be released monday if he won't accept his new position as Linebackers and ST assistant"

Click. Send all.

LMAO

Nice

??? in reference to the last part, that really a rumor??

According to some things coming out from Chicago, Love and Babich? were the minds behind the defense and Rivera took alot of credit.

Can someone assist the noob, before I decide to tell him its fact and to spread the news?

Push....I'll tell you the rest of the story and provide the link to the information in that post, however now that you've read the teaser, you're going to have to pay a premium membership to get the rest.

The way things are going in this NFL offseason I wouldn't put anything out of reach.

A more accurate assessment would be that Bears ownership is notoriously cheap and already has to open the dusty coffers to pay Lovie. They simply don't want to have to pony up for anybody else.

tamba
thats why, and dj, he is a good positional coach, especially w pass rushing ends and lb.

Gunther found out he got canned as head coach via the internet.

So, since we are talking about the Chiefs, the question becomes, where does Rivera end up?

Chiefs gave up 188 on the ground and 252 through the air against the Colts.

Bears gave up 191 on the ground and 239 through the air against the Colts.

Bears Defense: 3 Pro Bowlers

Chiefs: 0

Not sure if Rivera is an improvement or not? :hmmm:

Gunther goes nowhere, suckas! Be sure to bump this thread at the end of the year when our D goes top ten.

Bears weren't the same after injuries to Brown and Harris went down.

No problem.

Be sure to pay close attention to us when we tell you that Gunt has absolutely nothing to do with it if it does happen.

Then what difference will a coaching change for the Chiefs make then?

i wish ...... won't happen though

The Bears decided to go with the
Chargers offseason plan.



Fire the coaches that get you to the playoffs.

If Rivera will teach our guys how to cause a fumble we should pay him a ton.

Rivera was hired by the Chargers a their linebackers coach.

Link?

Kind of surprised he ended up being a LB coach after all the talk about him and the Cowboys.

just said on ESPN that Rivera was hired by Chargers as LB coach. WOW.

Did I miss something?
 

The Chargers have a LB coach but not a D coordinator?

Man I think I can hear Rod Serling In the background now

" When does the firing of accomplished coaches become more than an aberration? Is it from a harsh reaction to mind altering anal ointment, or could it be the seventh sign of the apocalypse?"

Tonight we will find out in the Twilight Zone

Ted Cotrell is the new DC.

LMAO @ the Chargers.

He was awful for the Jets. Even Herm fired him. His "bend but don't break" philosophy drove us nuts.

I like the mix of Herm's cover 2 style and Gunther's aggressiveness..I think it's good to change it up throughout the game. I think mixing their styles together will work out well

Cottrell was a scapegoat.

Herman ****ing Edwards is a cover 2 guy.
Cottrell is a 34 guy.

Herman ****ing Edwards keeps trying to fit round hles into square pegs.

Why the **** doesn't Herman ****ing Edwards hire cover 2 guys to run a cover 2 defense?

You mean to tell me nobody even wanted to hire Rivera as a DC? I never would've guessed that.

**** that sucks. Way to go Herm.

Yea, the guy goes falls from a Head Coaching prospect to a linebackers coach...WTF??


Im surprised he took the demotion?

Well, a good debate at that is that defense could have been lead by Lovie instead of Rivera.

There must be something we don't know about this guy.

Because I don't understand at all.

BINGO

Ididots, morons - I am totally shocked - what the hell is McCaskey thinking?

Is Lovie going to be a "lame duck" as that story stated? I don't believe that for a second, furthermore why the hell wouldn't they want to keep that guy? And I have to agree, we should actually have canned Gun and hired him as DC; even though we made progress, I just don't see how he would be a bad choice.

That or unemployment.

Sounds to me like the Bears screwed him over.

I imagine this will change how coaches' contracts are structered.

I bet the Chiefs didn't even make a phone call.

How could it have been a bad choice? I agree...

Bottom line is that this guy has been a head coach candidate for the past couple of years, he helmed a great D in Chicago... and he could've possibly been the next in line for Herm's job, if he were here.


Buh.
