I may be wrong but didn't JR get rid of Fox due to lack of back to back winning seasons?  

Fox knew he was done before week 1.  Rivera ain’t in Foxland yet.

peope act like we are in a bad spot.  This is actually a good spot based on Rivera’s history.

If this was to play out like Fox then next year would be his "lame duck" year.  JR has gone on record saying he doesnt want to let go of a coach before his contract is up.  Just like Fox's last year here, everyone knew after the previous season had ended that the next year was it for Fox.  What happened? We ended up with the number 1 pick.  I really hope JR has learned from this and is willing to cut ties with his head coach before his contract is up.  I dont think I can make it through another "lame duck" year

JR didn't really "get rid of" Fox at all. He just let his contract run out without renewing it.

Rivera's contract runs at least two more seasons.

Has he really gone on record with that, or are we just all using the past to expect this?

 

I can't recall.

10-6 probably gets us in the playoffs this year.  I'd be shocked if you fire a coach with a 63-48 lifetime record making the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years.  If he wins a playoff game he gets a 3-year extension, otherwise he gets a 2-year extension.

8,9, or 10 wins but no playoffs gets him no extension and a lame duck year.

a losing season, and I think he is toast.

I'm leaning towards they get at least 1 more year no matter what, unless we  go 4-12 or 5-11. A worse performance than last year would most certainly get them canned pretty quick. But anything around 7-9 or better and it gets into the murky territory of them getting one last season to turn things around.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
