Rumors are swirling on WFNZ and elsewhere that Riverboat Ron (or Rowboat Ron, depending on how you feel about the guy) might leave the organization in the off-season. I know a lot of people here can't stand him, but in reality, he's been the best coach the Panthers have ever had. During is time in Carolina, he has helped create the winningest culture the Panthers have ever seen.

 

Sometimes the grass isn't always greener and I think it could really hurt this team moving forward and eventually we'd see a lot of our key players playing elsewhere in the coming years.

 

I know rumors are just that; rumors, but it just adds more to this mountain of a mess that will be the 2018 Carolina Panthers' off-season.....:thinking:

Lotta Good coaches will be job hunting.   I think RR is good all week long, sucks as a game coach.

I can't see it happening, he's had so much success here and unlike the Harbaugh era where he and management were at each other's throats, Ron is on easy street.  

I hate to say it though, but if it gets rid of Shula I'd be all for it.  Heck might even give us an opportunity to try and give Wilk's a shot at the HC job here.

The guy who wrote the article on PFW (linked in this thread) was on WFNZ and he said a few folks reached out to him suggesting they'd heard rumors Ron may leave. If I heard him correctly, he said he'd classify those folks as "leakers" as opposed to sources, which sounds to me like the kind of folks who usually provide info to benefit another party. It's not too much of a stretch to think these folks may be trying to get Rivera a larger deal. In either case, the writer, who is a close friend of Rivera, suggested he doesn't believe there is much substance to the information at this time. I'm sure WNFZ will post the audio sometime in the next day or so for anyone who's interested.

A head coach voluntarily leaving a winning team with an elite franchise QB still in his prime is about the stupidest NFL rumor that could possibly be made. 

Maybe on the days RR wore jeans to work, Big Cat had him shake his booty for him.

How humiliating would that be?  Enough to take another job?  I SAY YES.

Ron is a really likeable guy and I was disappointed to hear this rumor, until someone reminded me of all the blown leads and games that should have been blow-outs that we let other teams back in with the same stubborn conservative garbage. He has never learned and he never, ever will.
