Ron Rivera Must Go

[Panthers Fanatic]

Ron Rivera is not a leader of men, plays not to lose (3 runs for a long FG try and giving Falcons the ball back with a minute and a half), and he employs buffoons (Shula over Hue Jackson for OC)...c'mon JR, do what must be done (after the season)!

[ThinkAboutIt]

That's ridiculously ignorant.

 

Rivera is a good man.  He's just not a good head coach.

 

 

It's called histrionics. 

[CPF4LIFE]

Hiring a rookie head coach and then turning around and  drafting a player like Cam was never a good move. We needed someone who knew what they were doing from the start.

 

 

When Rivera said during the middle of the first season "he had to learn how to be a head coach" that was the nail in the coffin all the way back then.

 

He does not hold a candle to somebody like Harbaugh or Kelly. They have been in the business and know the ropes. And it shows instantly.

Im sick of watching pussy ball from ron.. he basically said fug you to his riverboat self this year..

He was never anything but a pussy in big spots and games man. Always tightened in the big moment. Oh boy he went for it on a few easy fourths when we had to against the Patriots lol and cam made plays. What a gambler!

I knew this 5 weeks ago.

Lets be real, does anyone in their sane mind actually think Ryan wouldnt have marched down the field in field goal range even if we made that FG. Come on, 1:30 left to go against this D, might as well be a full qtr and all three time outs left.

Im kind of glad he missed the FG, it would have hurt worse when Ryan would have marched it down the field. I was 110% sure even if we made the FG, they would have still ended up winning anyway.

 

I am not glad the Panthers lost..BUT agree with everything else you said here.  I was looking at the clock and thinking, the Falcons will have had plenty of time to score, even with no timeouts.  You have to at least get one more first down.

Can  you imagine if the Panthers would have hired Bruce Arians two years ago instead of keeping Rivera. Sigh/SMH

 

Arizona's 9-1 now. And they beat the loaded Detroit Lions, cause they have a better coach.

I'd take a bag of pork rinds over Rivera at this point

[ThinkAboutIt]

A competently coached team is blowing out the Sanchez led Eagles right now.

Ron is a good guy and a better than average defensive coordinator. But he has to go after this. If the Big Cat says no, then the franchise is doomed. Gettleman needs to hire his own guy.

Yep

If nothing is done tomorrow then that tells me JR is ok with losing.

5 winning seasons in 20 years says JR is ok with losing

Bruce is a great offensive minded coach and would have been a better hire for drafting a raw QB like Cam no.1 overall. He also hasnt been passed up 9 times for a gig either.
