So one magic, incredible year and every other year a .500 coach.

lol. He had that year man. He coached this team that year. He held those men in that locker room accountable to do their job every Sunday.  I will not take that away from him or any coach. You don't go 15-1 in the NFL just bc of the talent on the field. This isn't the NBA or a game of pickup.

There's a common element running through all of Rivera's playoff seasons with the Panthers to date.

That element isn't here anymore.

You guys are just looking for anything to bash Rivera now and it’s honestly sad. He obviously means that they are just starting to get use to life without Kelvin and with the new first year guys 

would you rather have him say they are exactly where they need to be? Because clearly they aren’t yet 

I view it as more of the same from Riverraft Rivera. 

If he meant life after KB, why not stress that point? What he says, infers that they are still searching, as they have been all season. 

While it's a basic lit crit class example of what did the "author" mean...I believe there is lots of past Riverraft press conferences where he is just talking out his ass. 

No, I will not cite my sources in MLA format either. Just be alive and a Panthers fan since he came aboard.

Don't worry. A few seasons from

now when RR wins another back to back divisional championships and gets us to the superbow again, all these "ZOMG FIRE RON NOW" posters will go silent or even sing his praises again.

Right now, hating on Ron is the cool thing to do for some reason. The man has honestly done a remarkably good job for a first time coach. We are 6-3 right now without Greg and Kalil and an oline that can't run block and everything that goes wrong is RRs fault... you literally couldn't name 12 HCs in the NFL you would rather have with a strait face and people act like he's one of the 10 worst HCs in the league. It's moronic. 

I don't defend everything he does. Not even close. I do think he's too conservative, I do think he's awful with clock management and I do think Shula should have been sent packing a long time ago.

Every coach has deficiencies. RR has done well by us. We make the playoffs with him more often than not and our defense is always top tier- elite under him. It's just the fad flavor of the day to hate on the man. I remember during the riverboat and 15-1 seasons where all these same idiots were the first to sing his praises

    You know what. 15-1 is HISTORIC. That DESERVES some dang credit.

 

    I vow, form this point forward. To defend that with all my common sense.

    You know what. We did have a MAGIC year. How many teams have done that? Does not a coach that can deliver that, DESERVE some credit?

 

    We are 6-3. We are in the thick of things. Yet again. We HAVE had SUCCESS in the recent past. We have a coach that has proven to be able to lead a team to the Promised land. Yet, that seems to be somehow less than acceptable?

 

    I don't get it.

I don’t get it either, in the back to back loses to the Eagles and Bears we turned the ball over 6 times! Since they’ve reeled off 2 divisional wins and still we get the same old blame the coaches game. Hell they’re still turning the ball over and winning, to me that’s like”Feeling our way around.”

     There are two things that are keeping me going. The fact that Cam, and River have a winning record, and are on pace to make the playoffs for the 4th time in the last 5 years. The second thing, the fact that folks yearn for an Andy Reid, yet Rivera only has 2 less wins. And a better playoff record.

 

    Let that sink in. Andy Reid has 2 more wins that Rivera. But Rivera has a better playoff record. Yet Rivera is getting this?
