No more Riverboat Ron

"Riverboat Ron" was never who he was at his core. It's who Cam and the fans demanded he become. The less faith Ron is feeling in his team, the less confidence it inspires. The less confident players are, the worse they play. When we're winning, he has no problem making the call to go for it on 4th and 2.

I think he will get fired towards the end of the season. He took us to the Superbowl but he couldn't bring the Lombardi trophy to Charlotte. His ship has sunk. We get the right coach and The Panthers can win it all in 2 years.

There is no way he's getting fired after three straight playoff seasons.  He'll point to this year as being hampered by a ton of injuries, and honestly five of our losses have came by a FG or less.  However if we don't win at least 10 games next year I think his seat will be pretty damn hot.

The Ron Rivera who introduced himself in his first press conference was absolutely the guy I wanted coaching this team.

At some point within those first two losing seasons, adversity smacked him right in the face and he lost the confidence that made him that guy.

He hasn't been the same since.

It is not Rivera. It is the man feeding Rivera's system with liabilities while not addressing weak positions.

The answers to keep this team competitive were available and obvious. Instead, the front office had to weaken the defense and the offense with their project players of the future.

Even if you decided to get rid of Rivera, who would you replace him with? Keep in mind an inexperience head coach will likely take 3 years to round out into a coach capable of competing in the playoffs. Might as well slam the door shut on the Cam and Luke era if you do that. The only coach that would make sense would have to be one with extensive head coaching playoff experience.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
