Jetkid94 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 yep he replaced Ted Cottrell as DC midseason yeah thought so. I think there D has improved under him. maybe rivera isnt just for the rooney rule. could be a candidate if spags and ryan dont work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan1015 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 yeah thought so. I think there D has improved under him. maybe rivera isnt just for the rooney rule. could be a candidate if spags and ryan dont work out. He was a prime HC candidate a few years back when he was the Chicago DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there D has improved under him. maybe rivera isnt just for the rooney rule. could be a candidate if spags and ryan dont work out. their D did improve somewhat, but it was hurt with injuries. 1 positive is Rivera does run a 3-4 system in SD and also while he was in Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 their D did improve somewhat, but it was hurt with injuries. 1 positive is Rivera does run a 3-4 system in SD and also while he was in Chicago He does run a 3-4 now in San Diego, but I'm pretty sure the Bears ran the Cover 2 when he was there.

dbatesman Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 i am not sure now , i believe it was a 3-4 in chicago also , not 100% sure No, he ran a Tampa-2 in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yes, but that shows he can run both equally well. Even with all of their injuries this year, SD's defense improved dramatically when he took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Can someone explain this dumb ass Rooney rule to me please. How is it Ron Rivera qualifies under this rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Can someone explain this dumb ass Rooney rule to me please. How is it Ron Rivera qualifies under this rule? from wiki The Rooney Rule, established in 2003[1], requires National Football League teams to interview minority candidates for a head coaching opportunity. The rule is named for Dan Rooney, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the chairman of the league's diversity committee, and is often cited as an example of affirmative action. Since the Rooney Rule was established, several NFL franchises have hired minority head coaches (including the Steelers themselves, who hired Mike Tomlin before their 2007 season). At the start of the 2006 season, the overall percentage of African American coaches had jumped to 22%, up from 6% prior to the Rooney Rule.[2] Even so, the policy is still debated and no team has stated whether the Rooney Rule contributed to the hiring of a minority. The rule does not apply if an assistant coach has language in his contract guaranteeing him the starting job in case of an opening. [1] This was the case when Mike Martz took over as head coach of the St. Louis Rams before the 2000 season. Also, the rule does not apply if the assistant coach taking over the head position is a minority, as was the case with Mike Singletary and the San Francisco 49ers in late 2008.[3] In 2003, the NFL fined the Detroit Lions $200,000 for failure to interview minority candidates for the team's vacant head coaching job. After Marty Mornhinweg was fired, the Lions immediately hired former San Francisco 49ers head coach Steve Mariucci to replace him without interviewing any other candidates. The Lions claimed they attempted to interview other candidates but that the minority candidates withdrew from interviews, believing Mariucci's hiring was inevitable.

RutgersJetFan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ron Rivera should turn down the interview request if he's smart. I'd actually like to see him come in for the interview and then bail due to Favre. That would just be ridiculously entertaining at this point.

JMJ Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This move does put us into compliance with the Rooney Rule, but I highly doubt this is why we're interviewing him. If we don't hire an experienced head coach and we go the coordinator route, I'm hoping we bring in Spags, Rex Ryan, or Rivera (assuming of course that Dick LeBeau has no interest in leaving Pittsburgh).
