Skins fire Jack Del Rio

[Mat 49]

They looked like they have more problems than just Del Rio

They sure do!

I found a lil something on the sideline incident... Commanders News: Ron Rivera, Sam Howell, Jonathan Allen and sideline friction

he whole team but howell looked lost yesterday.eb needs to go along with the coaches and front office

 

[Mat 49]

he,s as lost as rivera.

hopefully that asshole is right for once.

Here I thought that I was the only one that thinks that he's an asshole.

Curious: how does one become a cowboys, steelers, and bills fan?

I'm hearing him and EB got into it on the sideline during the game... anybody else hear this or got the scoop on what happened?

GOOD!!
Hopefully, EB told Rivera's dumb ass to think back to when players complained to him about being "worked too hard," and told him that holding players accountable and/or to a higher standard doesn't yield the sorry-assed results that his and Del Rio's defenses do!

I think the reason Rivera hasn't been fired yet they feel nobody else on the staff is capable of doing the job including EB that's why he won't get fired until the season is over

With who?

 

[skinsdad62]

should have got rid of the o/line coach as well

Sheehan reporting that the decision was Ron's.

RR trying to save RR. The epitome of “too little too late.”

Nothing to see here.

Everybody is fired at year’s end.

It's pathetic

Interesting thought!

However,

When ALL else fails he (Harris) can fire Rivera and go to everyone's favorite interim HC hire... Jeff Saturday!

Does anyone here think harris told Rivera to can Del Rio?

Is Rivera trying to save his job?

The move is odd because we have 5 games left and Rivera and Del Rio are apparently good friends? If Rivera knew he was getting fired at the end of the year, why embarrass his friend over 5 meaningless games?

yes the above statements seem to back that up , but i am skeptical . i think harris and magic watch this board and take their cues from us , but i a biased

I think between Jack and that DB coach that everyone hated, I think Rivera felt he was about to lose the lockerroom. If he hadn't already.

No, I don't think that Harris talks to Rivera much, if at all.

Yes, Rivera is trying to save his job, but in a bit of irony, Rivera now finds himself in a very similar situation to what Haskins did when he was hired! (Not drafted by Rivera so no allegiance to Haskins = Not hired by Harris so no allegiance to Rivera)

Jack and Ron share a long history of friendship beyond the playing field. As I understand the firing Jack as he approached the door to exit that conversation, told his friend that he can "fire as many people as he deems fit but at some point, you're going to have to know that...

Doesn’t really matter at this point. Im just curious to see if most of the issue was jack.or the players. Hoping it was Jack. If not, this rebuild is going to take much longer than people think.

I asked that question about having lost control of the locker room prior to the Seattle game, and it seems to me that some of the guys are already mailing it in. They all know that their futures are uncertain here, or worse unlikely to be the place where their game checks come from. The locker room is already lost IMHO!

I have been Cowboy fan since the franchise started in 1960, I also like the Steelers and Bills when they are not playing the Cowboys.
