Ron Rivera is only 3 years removed from his last playoff appearance, has taken 1 team to the super bowl, and has a winning record over his career, though he could have a just barely losing one if he goes 0-5 to end the season. Given all of that I think he'd still be near the top of a lot of lists for head coach vacancies this off season assuming he gets fired and also doesn't retire.

Tbh I wouldn't put it past Tepper to bring him back in once Reich is gone and if he's available.

I could see Rivera working out on the Bears but only if he somehow got a really good offensive coordinator (who won't be poached immediately to head coach another team).

On the bright? side this in theory makes the job more appealing if you're a hot hire candidate. Spanos can rightly claim he's always given his coaches the full time to build a team and never fired them at the first sign of trouble.

On the bad side you've wasted over a decade of your life so there is that.

A team like the chargers makes more sense for Belichick because it's a more complete team. They arguably have a window to make a serious push and their biggest problem has been situational coaching and defense. I could see Belichick going to the chargers and doing what Kubiak did for the Broncos, wasn't necessarily there to build a roster or coach up a team, but there to get them past the poo poo Fox wasn't able to.

They're stuck having to blow up the roster next year, because they'd otherwise have a combined 160 million tied up in Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, due to restructuring all of their contracts next year. I think the only one who stays is Allen; Bosa, maybe. The other two are goners for sure. Ekeler has a good chance of being gone after this year as well.

They pissed this season away, the moment they decided to keep Staley. They're going to have to rebuild the roster, no matter who the coach who comes in after them is, and I dunno if I would want a 70+ year old Belichick to be the one to do it. That being said, I think Staley is a goner after this year. He's just... loving embarrassing in a way the other coaches weren't. And you can't hide from the media in LA nearly as easily as in San Diego, even for total blundering morons like the Spanoses.

Norv was one of those coordinators who for his time was a little too good and kept getting head coaching jobs. And he was not a good head coach and it was obvious from the start everywhere. But he always lasted for a while. The man was HC for 237 NFL games.

Just sort of a fascinating career to me to ponder.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I have to wonder how much power Saleh has between Rodgers, the GM, and the owner all wanting their guys. Saleh definitely has the defense motivated and playing their asses off, but the offense is just horrible.

Or maybe the OL is just that bad, as a Titans fan I can sympathize with that one.

sirtommygunn

The OL injuries are pretty bad, and if the Jets under Saleh had displayed any offensive competence in prior seasons I would be willing to give them the injury excuse. They didn't though, so I won't. A fully healthy Jets offense is still bottom 10 in the NFL, bottom 5 if we keep the Rodgers injury. The OL injuries are just the difference between mundane bad and all time bad.

Lol Aaron Rodgers is such an organization killer. Like the dude won a super bowl almost 15 years ago and has spent every year since dunking on a terrible NFC North for the Packers to get eliminated at home in their first playoff game by whatever team won the NFC East at 7-9 that year, and he's convinced he's the smartest guy to ever be involved in football.

Now he's 39, has a bigger head than ever, can't even play and he's forcing coaches and GMs to build a staff and roster around his own best interests instead of the team, like he always has.

He's gonna spend a terrible 2-3 years in NYJ forcing them to keep Hackett and forbidding them from rostering any threats to his starting QB position or spending high draft picks on anything but receivers. After a couple 6-11 seasons where (assuming he doesn't get injured) he throws 18 TDs/17 INTs and has a 30 minute highlight reel of screaming at his o-line/coaches, the Jets will finally get sick of his poo poo and cut him.

I heard ayahuasca makes you more of who you really are, and in Rodgers case who he really is a dumb rear end in a top hat. LaFleur must be so glad to be finally rid of him.

What gets me is a lot of the disgruntlement from his time in Green Bay was the team didn't draft offensive talent for him. Rodgers goes to another team and hand-picks these guys, the Jets draft defense with their first round pick, and meanwhile Green Bay suddenly look like they have four legit prospects at WR and two at TE.

Maybe it'll be fine when the Jets trade for Bakhtiari and Adams.

Garrett Wilson and Adams together would be extremely sick to watch, but if I'm the Raiders I'm demanding Wilson in return for Adams probably

Well the team is about as bad as it was last year and the offense is probably a little worse so it’s not really addition at all unless you’re talking vibes because I’m sure those are better.

Honestly the Packers offense is following a similar pattern to last year. Started out rough but really started improving as the year went along.

Though it’s honestly much more fun to watch this year rather than last year of watching Rodgers and his risk adverse rear end refusing to throw anything but a sure thing

Pretty easy to not miss someone who isn't even playing this year. I doubt Aaron's ever really going to come back in a meaningful way either, he was looking well-done even before the injury.

I was calling for a complete tear down of the Packers front office and coaching staff from the Raiders game until Thanksgiving, and not for one second did I ever think, “if only we kept Aaron Rodgers.” At 39, he’s not the solution to any problem. Sure, he’s a better QB than Zach Wilson, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Rodgers can’t even finish a game without getting injured anymore.

The Jets are in such an awkward spot, because they pretty much have to fire Joe Douglas at the end of this year, but any new GM they bring on will be stuck with Saleh/Hackett until Rodgers retires or they have to find a coach who is cool with Hackett staying onboard.

Sounds like it buys the new GM a few free years at the outset, the ol "I didn't hire that coach / pick that QB" gambit
