From Kevin Acee, local beat writer inside the locker room:
"I'd have to say as a group, these coaches are not motivational. That doesn't mean all of them. And I think (Ron) Rivera could be an excellent head coach and excellent defensive coordinator. I like his ideas, and I think the players do as well.
Yes, for lack of a better word, Shelmon (6 years runningbacks coach, promoted this year to Offensive Coordinator) is a figure head. He certainly doesn't call the plays." <end Acee quote.
I would make the move now, right now. Even if Rivera just finished out this year and they went after big name for start of 2008.
It will never happen in dysfunctional Chargerville.
I'll be blown away if Norvball goes over 8-8.
