The Nightmare Scenario

[Mr. Scot]

So if the Panthers December performance turns out to be not good enough to get us to the playoffs but good enough that it saves the jobs of most - or even all - of the coaching staff, how do you expect you'll react?

[TN05]

At this point I don't think the coaching staff or GM should fired. Give another year and if we suck again, let them all go. But the moves seem to be working better now.

[teeray]

I would be fine.  I just don't root for people's failures.

That is beyond my imagination. I don´t have that worst case scenario plan worked out yet.

[davos]

We will have officially floated into Fox/Lovie/Fisher territory.

The problem is, "the moves" only seem to come when jobs are on the line.

I'll prep for the draft and enjoy a season of development from guys like Norwell, KB, Philly, Bene, Norman, Ealy and even Olsen (really announced himself as a top 5 TE).

At the end of the day it would suck. A lot. But there is a next season and we do have an exceptionally talented young core.

I would hope that Rivera would see what a difference it makes when the team is aggressive and plays with a killer instinct. Although we all know that won't happen.

Seriously, I'm a Panthers fan and regardless of the outcome I'll always be back and ready for more.

God, that just makes it sound like being a panther fan is like being an abusive relationship...

 

"But the good times are really good!" 

 

"They can change, I just know it!"

 

"This time it will be different, you'll see!"

There's no way Shula doesnt get fired so I'm fine with more Ron.

What moves are you talking about? I'm referring to the players we drafted starting to play well. That naturally happens as any season goes on.

I misunderstood what you were referencing; thought you meant adjustments the coaching staff made through the year.

 

I am on board with most of the personnel moves, yes. But I think a new direction is needed for the coaching staff.

I think you're wrong, but man, I hope you're right. Even if we win the division, this front office should realize how bad this offense has been this year

[Sloth]

Mostly the fact that - outside of one season where he was very close to an auto-fire - Rivera's teams don't start winning until it doesn't matter. The only difference this year is that the NFCS is a bad joke. Any other division and we'd have been talking draft by Thanksgiving.

[Plewis]

Amen! Preach it teeray. That's the problem I have with so many people in the Panthers and Hornets fanbase. It's like they want to lose and tell you how they were right all along that Cam or Kemba sucks or whoever.
