He's a good coach,  and his results prove it.  Period! End of story. 

3 winning seasons out of 7.

No Cam and Rivera is out on the streets looking for another DC position.

Takes more than two players to win,  even ones of Cam's and Luke's calibre. But, we can thank Hurney for drafting two of the better players in the NFL. He really hit it out of the park with Cam,  and, even more, Luke. 

Yea he can pat himself on the  back for hitting with a 1 overall and 9 (two top 10 picks) even though we were picking that high for a reason. They were good picks in all seriousness which has little to do with RR being an idiot.

But best coach in Panther(mediocre franchise) history!

I say that only because he adds to that mediocrity, not to rub it in.

I’ve never seen a DC blitz so much on 3rd down. It’s so predictable. I’m fine if the blitzing is smart and/or our secondary is actually good, but it’s not.

I don’t think we have to worry about Wilks leaving

there needs to be a balance and if you blitz, you better get there

I'm not congratulating him after his teams performance today. It did not seem like he had his team prepared for a playoff clinching home game vs a 4-10 opponent. He needs to check himself, along with the rest of the coaching staff

This. During the game everyone hates him and shula, but as soon as bareeeeely win hes back to being a good coach?

A win is a win,  and close wins happen week in and week out in the NFL.  That's just the nature of the game.  Rivera has always been a good coach. He could be a great one with better clock management and more of a killer instinct.

You could say this about any coach. Take Brady away and Belichick wouldn't win 5 Super Bowls.

And we can thank DG for putting us in a great cap situation and giving us other huge pieces like Turner, Norwell, D. Williams, KK, Funch, etc.

How bout dat fake punt?

Agree 100% top dawg. His 2013 season was spectacular coaching after the first 4 games. And then he completely forgot the "Riverboat" aspect of his coaching, which was truly amazing despite the hype of the nickname. Showed up again today with the fake punt, but still there have been WTF moments that he just shouldn't have any more--like punting for a net gain of like 15 yards earlier this year instead of a FG attempt. But overall Rivera is a very solid coach and we'd be hard pressed to find one better if we got rid of him.

I wonder what a lot of HCs records look like with Cam/Luke on the team.

Oh please.  Rivera has a similar career coaching record as Sean Payton, who most people on this board worship as an incredible coach.  Brees is a 1st ballot HOFer.  Give Rivera some credit.
