Rivera's Job just got put on notice.

How well the Panthers do from here on out will more than likely determine if Rivera stays next year. You can expect a change at GM but Rivera is definitely on the hot seat. I expect the Panthers to be at there very best from here on out because Rivera is at his best when under pressure.

A coach who has made the playoffs the last 4 of 5 years, with a SB appearance, is on the hot seat?  A coach in the top 10 active in win percentage?  I don't think so

 

Only active HCs who haven't won a SB with better win% than Ron is Zimmer, Reid, and Arians.  Tell me who we'd be upgrading to again?

Rivera is entering Tony Dungy territory when he was in Tampa. He put together a winning team, but stuck loyally to some principles that did him in (one of them being keeping the same OC that gives us fits every Sunday) 

If Shula goes, Rivera is safe. If Shula stays, they both get canned together down the road

you're talking about Riveras job security when we're 10 - 4 and poised to make a playoff run?

Nah, I doubt hes going anywhere or at the very least he'll get 1 more year after putting together a winning season after last year. He's built up too much of a resume with a winning record and likely 4 playoff seasons in 5 years with a SB appearance . 

Now Shula? Thats a totally different story. He could def be canned for someone else.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
