Ron Rivera Will Now Proceed To Save His Job

[Kevin Greene]

As my avatar has said for a month. "You can't fire me!".

 

Today's victory was nice but trivial in the big Panther picture.

Sub par performances are acceptable in Charlotte and has been for quite some time.

John Fox carded records of 7-9, 7-9, 8-8, 7-9, 8-8, 2-14 mixed with moderate success before he was finally shown the door.

Ron Rivera will be expected to do no more.

 

Just being close, especially after last seasons surprising regular season finish will be enough to assure at least two more years of Rivera's misplaced contract extension this past off season being brought to fruition.

 

Get ready for more Ron.

 

 

 

No one reacts more slowly than Jerry Richardson.

If the team gets to the playoffs, I think he'll be here next year for sure (unfortunately).

 

If the team doesn't get to the playoffs, but doesn't get embarrassed either, I also think he'll be here next year. (Again, unfortunately.)

 

If the team gets blown out and embarrassed in the last few games he may get the boot... but it's still not guaranteed. 

 

But who knows... we'll see how it goes.

Fug RR and staff. Nice win but it doesn't take away the truth. Ron sucks.

[JawnyBlaze]

Unfortunately OP is probably right.  It's a damn shame too.

How many times have we already been embarrassed this season? How many times does it take?

His allegence to Shula is the most questionable thing...other than that McD has been pretty damn good and I was a huge fan of the innovative Chud. That to me shows Rivera can get good corrdinators and had great ideas coming in..contuniuity with Shula was just highly overratted and hindering Rivera with one year contracts hurt the ability to attract big time coaches.

If he moves away from Shula in the offseason he would redeem shimself to me...as long as we get a good Oc to replace him.

[Mother Grabber]

December winning record going strong!

[teeray]

I don't know. We have to be pretty impressive last three games and sneak in the playoffs for it to happen.

[raleigh-panther]

For once, I just want to enjoy the win this Sunday against a team I truly despise and let the chips fall as they may.

 

Cam played out of his mind today...granted the Saints aren't a defensive juggernaut but I'll take it.  The young secondary did good and we might just have found an oline that only needs an upgrade at LT and a backup/replacement for Kalil.

 

Its a long time coming.  Be happy.

Too many! 

[All about the Benjamin]

I don't think this one win has already saved Ron's job. If we make the playoffs he's not going anywhere

[The Huddler]

Maybe if Ron stays and we get a new OC it will all be OK in the long run.

[Snake]

I think people will lose there job this year no matter what. We are not playing good football and Rivera keeps reminding Dave why he should not be a coach every week win or lose.

I've got to deal with this team having a late season garbage time wins run so nobody gets fired in January for doing a piss poor job for most of the season, plus, this is going to be the second year in a row I walk into the playoffs no. 1 in my fantasy league and then proceed to get the living poo kicked out of me by the 8th ranked team, all because half my players want to fumble the fuging ball this week

If anyone needs me I'll be in the angry dome
