Would you want Jim Harbaugh if Panthers continue to suck?

Jerry Richardson: "I had not thought about talking to him about a head coach"

 

Linky to your thread....

Linky to your thread....

 

Oh I know. I'm officially on record as being disgusted with hiring Rivera from the start for various reasons. Nobody wanted to hear it at the time.

 

Last year made me eat crow which I poured mustard upon while watching a home playoff game.

[CRA]

I expect the coaching staff to be intelligent enough realize they are failing. my point was JH in comparison recognizes the need for an OL. RR and company pieced together crap and debated all summer on two guys that has both shown to be weak as if one would be the answer. His justification is ''he did his best.'' The GM may make the call but RR's brought his people in here. RR's staff is what he ALLOWED it to be. he settled there as well. call it what you, want it is what it is. the GM will turn on him after continued failure like everyone else. meanwhile he'll go on playing locker room dad putting players on timeout, watching tape and not knowing what to do against a 3-4 defense even though he was a defensive cord, a defensive player his entire career, and superbowl champion. I won't even speak on Shula because common sense proves a change is necessary whether it be on the calls or OC entirely. 

 

Coaches realize they are failing.  They realize there OL talent is a joke and there secondary talent is a joke vs. the rest of the league.

 

Coaches coach.  GM supplies the bodies.   Emphasis however is put on Ron.  Unfair.  Emphasis should go on Gettlemen b/c what we suffer from is a comical lack of talent on the OL and secondary.  Both worse than last year (and we were weak then too and overachieved).

 

When the lack of talent is so great at key spots.  Coaching won't fix the issue.  Not a coaching issue.  Rivera is trying to make lemonade with lemons.  You are acting as if he wanted the lemons.

He's a petulant little bitch. I hate seeing him cry on the sidelines all the time. But, I would be for it if he could WIN football games.

[SCP]

I would but there is NO chance it happens.

[Jmac]

He has about as much chance of landing here as NASA does to land on Neptune next year....no chance.

[Jmac]

You should all know this franchise better then that by now.

I got a question:  If Harbaugh can't get his team over the hump with all that talent, what makes you think that he is going to get this team over the hump with mostly marginal to back-up talent?  

 

Hell, any coach worth his salt should be able to be successful with the hand that he was given.

I'm confused, Harbaugh time in San Fran hasn't been > Rivera time with us?

 

They didnt go to the SB until Jim came 

[AKPantherFan]

Hell YES. Yes yes yes

Sure it has been.  But he inherited a helluva team.  Don't make me go through the roster because I am too lazy. I bet that if Cowher or Chucky inherits that team, then they may have been Super Bowl champions by now.  

 

Harbaugh may be an exceptional coach, but he still has to prove it in my mind,  The only real adversity that he has had has been the adversity of his own making.

We definitely go off may or may nots, but he did it. I dont think he has anything to prove. He's the reason kaep looks decent

Harbaugh has had a star-studded roster, and has failed to get over the hump.  That's just the reality of the situation. 

 

With whatever he has done with Kap, I still wouldn't want Kap as my starting QB.  I may be in the minority, but I still believe that if he had kept Alex Smith as his starter, they would have won the Super Bowl at least once out of the last two years.

[ThinkAboutIt]

If the Panthers fire Rivera, bring in BILL COWHER. 

 

Why? 

 

Because that's the kind of well-respected coach that you need to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt to many, myself included, whether or not Cam is the guy or the problem. I said it when Rivera was on the hot seat, and it's still the case. 

 

If Cam Newton doesn't ascend under a coach like Cowher, many will accept that he never will.

 

If you bring in another weak, experimental guy, many people, myself included, aren't going to feel like it's Cam's fault instead of the coach just being clueless. Same place we are now, which is why Rivera should've been gone two years ago. We'd know about Cam for sure by now.
