It's probably nothing more than a hail mary for Rivera.

How about, continued crappy play led to move? RT @mikepersinger: Rivera expects ST schemes simplified. Philosophical differences led to move |

Holliday also had a return in the preseason.
Probably won't happen in the middle of the season, but more firings have to be coming. |

Anyone else surprised that Rivera has not taken over defensive play calling? Usually a team that is losing it will have their head coach take over play calling for their particular specialty in order to right the ship.

But the defense hasn't really been the problem for the most part. That's the frustrating thing. Everybody expected the defense to be weak, but the offense to pick up where it left off last season. At least I know I did.

Agreed, D allowed 20 points yesterday, 7 of which was in garbage time. Again, allot better than I expected from them facing a Manning led offense.

How many ST coaches have we had since the Super Bowl season? The unit has been underwhelming for years. Here's hoping the next guy is better, but I'm not counting on it.

I think we are on our 4th or 5th. Fox fired at least 2 that I know of.
