Rivera up for Coach of the Year Again

[Mr. Scot]

Billick has a lot of fondness for the Panthers.

[teeray]

He deserves credit for keeping team focused and believing in themselves and him.

Coach of the year is a stretch though

And the bitching continues. It just shows you the ignorance that is rampant on this board. Everyone else knows how hard it was for Ron to do what he did with arguably the worse roster in the NFL. And yet people think we should have won 12 games or more. Truth is we had the worse roster in the division and still won it. Hats off to Rivera and his staff who turned this bunch of rookies and nobodies ( with a few stars mixed in) to a team that went toe to toe with the Super Bowl champs until we made some mistakes. The turnaround was due to the staff and Rivera's strength of will. Anyone who doesn't see that knows little about coaching and has never done it at any significant level.

Lol @ ron digging the hole.

Rich poo.

The biggest mystery to me is why he completely went away from going for it on 4th down after we had immense success with it last year, why would you just do a 180. To be honest that is my major gripe with him, why would any coach completely abandon something that was our idenity and gave us excellent results

He didn't trust the oline and defense.

Congrads Ron..............nomination well deserved.

[Salvo]

I'm fine with the nomination but he's not going to win it.

 

Some of you get so bitchy about the smallest things...

Arguably the worst roster in the NFL? Lol.

I agree with pretty much everything else though. I think the players really do play for him.

[KJ89]

fug it, I hope he wins.

[Dilla]

This is Billick's list, not offical.

[Pox 08]

Guy kept the players focused.            

Seems like every December he keeps the team focused.......  if he figures out how to start the season strong...the Panthers will be deadly ,  year in and year out.

[CatMan72]

I like Ron, but he shouldn't get an award for overcoming his own faults.
