Is Sunday a must win for Ron to keep his job?

[Cary Kollins]

Ron looking at Gettleman like come at me bro

Only a deep playoff run saves his job. That might not even be enough depending on how we lose.

[King Schhit]

Yep.

[ThPantherFan]

I don't think winning or not makes the difference.  He will stay because of the contract.  I don't think JR will allow that much money to walk.  Now the rest of the coaching staff, they'll clean out the majority of them after the season.

[Francis J. Underwood]

Absolutely (in my eyes), if he can't be the bucs at home when it counts to win the division (the bucs are without gerald mccoy and lavonte davide), then he has no business ever being a coach in this league.

 

Richardson is a whole other animal. I am done with this team if he wouldn't get rid of him for a loss like that.

[Goondal]

For me?  Yes it is but he would still have a lot more work to do.  I would consider keeping him if the team won out, won on the road in the WC round, played close in either Seattle or Green Bay, and looked good doing all this.

 

For JR?  I am afraid that after last week if he wins even one more that he will be back.

[VerticalThreat]

I don't know that you can say that Sunday is a must-win broadly.  This season is way past judging anyone on one game, but Sunday is huge.  If the team comes out flat and we get beat, yes Ron's seat should be on fire.  If we play well and get beat by an overachieving Tampa Bay team, I dunno if you can fire him solely based on this game.

 

The rest of the season is up for debate though...

If we don't win a Playoff game he should be fired.

[Peppers90 NC]

If we don't win a Playoff game he should be fired.

i think IF we somehow backed into a home playoff game, winning that game as long as we are on a hot streak is quite favorable. In all likelihood, it would either be Arizona(I think they drop a couple more and Seattle wins the west), Dallas or Detroit, all three we match up well... as long as we are hitting on all cylinders. But again, we backed into the playoffs with yet again another losing record, which in 48 out of 50 seasons would not have gotten us into the playoffs. A Super Bowl appearance is at minimum.

[Carl Spackler]

lol at idiots saying he should be fired if he wins a SB.

[UKPanther94]

Apologies for the very stupid question but, if the Panthers finish 7-8-1 and then win 2 play off games(very unlikely but still), would that count as a winning season or does that just count in terms of the regular season?

Regular season only

[ThinkAboutIt]

It should already be lost.

But yes.

[BigBoss]

Anything less than a NFC championship performance wouldn't convince me that he shoud be back. He's been flat out awful for 4 years for us.
