It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Makes you wonder if something is afoot with this guy - lots of buzz and interviews for HC vacancies and he ends up an unemployed DC from a team that went to the Superbowl. Strange indeed.
I like Dan Pees, but I wonder if Rivera would be a better choice ?
Riveria to the best of my knowledge doesn't have experience in the 3-4. P Johnson would be a better choice.
Pees did a fine job this year no reason to change. Especially since he won't be a head coaching candidate due to age.

It sounds to me like it was mostly about money. And the article says John Clayton is reporting he is about to become the Chargers new DC.
I don't know if tampering applies here (does the March 1st date apply to coaches under contract?) but I suspect Rivera knew there was a big paycheck waiting for him in San Diego, and tried to force Da Bears to match it.If so, that's a spectacular stroke of luck for the Chargers. To fire your HC that late in the game and still have time to land a coordinator of Rivera's caliber is extraordinary.
