Are you really interested in that...?  I don't want any parts of it really.  But,  if that were to happen, then that would be enough of a justification to blow it all up.

Get a decent OC on the staff and the Rivera hate would largely disappear.

 

Sure there would be things that he would do that would be head scratchers from time to time but the relentless calling for his head would end.

Nah this is the huddle. Even if we had belicheck, you'd see topics after every week "Is Bill on the hot seat" "We can do better than Belicheck" "He did such and such that one time, he's garbage"

He is a solid coach. A lot of teams would kill to have a coach of his resume leading their team. I’m cool with him coming back. 

How dare you!   Obviously didn’t take the stoic looks into account.  

 

Mods de need to ban.

I think that over all,  Rivera is a good coach.  He certainly could stand to clean some things up. I think that it's worth weighing whether or not the bad things should be tolerated when juxtaposed against the good,  and right now I'd have to say that they should. 

People try to use the argument that others are saying that Ron needs a perfect team to win it all,  but I would just point to the fact that he hasn't had anywhere near a perfect team but has still found ways to consistently win.  His teams have had glaring weaknesses,  but they've been competitive for the most part. He has done some amazing things at times when most thought that his teams were dead in the water. That being said,  he's not Merlin.  There's only so much that you can do when your team has glaring holes.  That being said, it would be nice if he developed a killer instinct when his foot is on someone's neck.

Definitely read this as Cam Newton.

thats a pretty stupid comparison . Are we assuming he still had multi super bowl wins? Or he had been here since Cam started? I have a hunch people wouldn't be complaining that much

[CarolinaNut]

Ok but what if we lose 3 of last 4 to end season and miss playoffs again?!?

still not sure any changes would come of it but I highly doubt an extension would be offered and he would be coaching for his job next year..I would hope

[Casey]

If Ron had a good offensive staff and learned to finally replace coaches not getting things done and went bscj to his riverboat ways we'd have a good staff 

[Nate Dogg]

Rivera seems like a good guy and all but when it comes to game awareness, adjustments, talent evaluation, well you know, everything that comes with COACHING, he's an idiot.

[countryboi]

When I read this I thought Cam said this....I was like if Cam said this this is not a lock. 

Nope it's David newton a nobody 

[Dunn]

Lets see...minimum finishing .500 this year, and if we don't have 3 consecutive losing seasons, I see no end in sight of Rivera coaching this team.  Honestly just get rid of Shula and we may see an improvement.

[Castavar]

Wouldn't matter anyway, JR would just hire another one just like him so on and so forth. This is an ownership problem.

I have no doubt in my mind this could be similar to the Denver situation. Denver had balls enough to fire Foxy and bring in a new look because they knew they were underachieving. They bring in Kubiak to manage the offense, and then made one hell of a hire in Wade Philips as DC. What happened? Oh, nothing but beat our ass in the superbowl. Oh well, guess we'll continue to waste Cam's and Luke's prime years with this heartless coaching staff.

Nothing and I'm convinced even if something did happen it would be another coach just like Rivera or worse.
