.AlbertBreer leads his mailbag with a question about Ron Rivera’s job security in Washington 📬
Smitty, I think Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes get the standard three-year run. History tells us that most coaches, especially those in total rebuilds, are given at least that much, absent a real meltdown around them. After that, though? It’s increasingly rare that a team will keep a guy around without at least one playoff berth.
• Jeff Fisher was hired by the Rams in 2012, went 7-8-1, 7–9 and 6–10 in Years 1, 2 and 3, and was retained in ’15, the team’s last season in St. Louis. He was fired in ’16 in L.A. So of those, only Gruden is from the four most recent years of that period. And looking at the five hires from 2020, Rhule and Joe Judge are already fired, and Rivera, Kevin Stefanski, and Mike McCarthy have made the playoffs. Which means Gruden will wind up being the only one from a five-year period.
I’ve told this story before, but there was a situation that went the other way in a Ravens-Steelers game a few years back. It was the one where Earl Thomas knocked Mason Rudolph out with a high hit. If you go back and watch the broadcast, you’ll see that when the game went to break, after the hit and as Rudolph lay on the ground, there was no flag. They came back from the break and there was one thrown. In between, the Ravens coaches ask why the flag was dropped so late.
