Rivera already found him a new job
 

As the Chargers LB coach.

Pretty bad for him considering he was a potential HC this offseason. He'll be gone in a year.

So he gets fired and then ends up with an even lower and more meaningless job as LB's coach, that sucks for him. But, I bet by this time next year he'll be a HC.

wow he got totally screwed.

not a bad move on his part though, he gets the 3 - 4 experience, and he gets to live in sunny cali as oppose to windy /cold chitown

WOW! Makes sense?

It's a step down, but make sure to read this part.

Not a bad spot to get experience in. He should pretty much have his pick for a HC next year.

He'll also learn under Norv Turner, continue to work with one of the best LB's playing in Shawne Merriman, receives experience in the 3-4. All of those things help pad his resume. Shrewd move on his part.

Is a decent move. He can learn the 3-4 and bolt next year to be a HC. He won't be considered a cover-2 only guy which really hurt his chances to be a HC this year because a lot of the teams that needed a HC ran the 3-4 and had too much invested in the D to change schemes.

That really sucks for him, from the DC of the Bears to a LB coach.

ouch

Ouch. Does he at least get the Assistant HC tag?

If he gets the assistant head coach job as well, this is an excellent move, IMO. He will now know both the 3-4 and Cover 2, the two most popular D's, he will get a little HC experience as their assistant HC, and he will learn about offensive strategy as well, as he is going to a high powered offensive team.

Sweet. Thats awesome

Wow. He took a downgrade. Not even a lateral move.

You guys are just looking at the job title... look at what it will do for his resume.

Wish him the best. He'll certainly have a good core group of talent to work with. I fully expect him to be a DC again by next year, although I think he'll have to wait a year or two to have a shot at HC opportunities again.

He could also win himself a super bowl.

not wit norv turner i say a 7-9 record... u heard it here first

Good move by Ron. Best of luck to him.

this was a great decision for him imo

I think that's a very underrated factor. It's much better for him to be on a Superbowl contender than to be on some bottom feeding team.

While many of you are commenting on how this can improve his potential as a HC because he gets to learn under Norv Turner as well as learn the 3-4 scheme, one point you are skipping over, however, is the fact that he was not only passed over by the 6 teams that he interviewed with for HC jobs, but he was also NOT re-signed by his current employer and had to take a lesser role. Now I may not know everything there is to know about the man, but being passed on by 6 teams has to show that there were some serious deficiencies in his percieved ability to take on the full duties of a HC, much like Russ Grimm here in PIT. And not being re-signed by the Bears puts a dent in his DC resume and if Lovie is able to maintian the success that D has had without him, that will only discredit him more.

Wow. That got to hurt, but oh well. He gets some more experience and will stand stronger when HC onterviews comes around next offseason.

In the long run this may be a good move, but he has to prove he can coach the 3-4. IMO he'll have to be a 3-4 DC before he becomes a HC, so he'll probably be out of the running for 2007+2008. If he can take over as DC next year, and be successful, he'll get a HC gig for 2009. If not, he's a gonner. So altough this could be a good move, remember it can also be a horrible one.

With Norv as HC? I don't think so.
