Yeah I don’t buy this. I buy that Tep comes in here and everyone has to prove themselves but as long as we have a winning season and make the playoffs I’d say he’s pretty secure (and that looks likely).

If the team implodes from this point on, then very possible this is true. If they make the playoffs and actually make some noise, then all bets are off. I do think that if they don't make the Superbowl and win it within the next couple of years, then he will clean house.

From what I have seen so far this season, this is not a team that can make the SB and win it this year.

If Rivera is on the hot-seat then nearly every coach in this league needs to be. 

You are what your record is and right now the Panthers are 3-1. That's about as good as you can ask for in the NFL after 4 games. This isn't Alabama verses Cupcake U. You take wins how you get them and move on. 

Along as the Panthers keep winning this should be a moot point.

Generally put Rivera is mediocre and his philosophy dated.

This is a case example of talent (Luke, Cam) overcoming coaching deficiencies and philosophies. And sadly, Rivera's job is once more secured as long as those two continue being the future Hall of Famers they are.

Second paragraph.

Yeah just read it, and again, it doesn't surprise me and Jeremy has heard a lot of whispers well before any of the beat writers before, so, it's legit...  and again, Tepper was rumored to be one of the minority owners who wanted Tomlin ousted from Pitt last year, so if he wanted Tomlin gone, I imagine he has very little patience for Ron's passive, conservative, play (not) to lose approach.

Good to hear.  Only thing that scares me, as much as I've been ready to move on from him, is the complete turnover of the coaching staff with Cam and Luke just hitting their primes...  there is usually a pretty steep learning curve with new staffs, especially the type most of our fanbase desires...  then again, if you were gonna do it, may as well do it after this season if we don't win a Superbowl and get the process started ASAP.

      Carolina may not "be sold" on young (per athletic)

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Just curious. Are you suggesting they should have spent that money on defense instead of offense? Because the only defensive player that walked and was worth bringing back was Luvu. And they tried to get him back. He wanted to leave. Paying Burns $30M a year would have been the worst thing they could have done. Even worse than moving up to draft Bryce. That contract would have been crippling to the cap, and for a mediocre player. And I haven't done the math, but it seems there are just as many new players on defense as there are on offense. Injuries have been the biggest issue with that side of the ball. Improving the worst unit on the team should have always been the priority. Plus a stout o line will attract offensive players like that vet QB everyone wants. Chuba is having a career year. And yes, even Bryce Young is showing some signs of improvement. Change doesn't always happen overnight. But those were the right moves.

      Canes vs Blues 5pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Based on the NHL cap today ($88M), the Canes have $22.9M in projected space going into the 25-26 season. Seems to be a consensus the cap will increase to $92.5M next season, but let's not assume. The core of this team is locked up for a couple more years, with the only UFAs at the end of this season: Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jost, with Orlov and Burns on D. Remember Seth Jarvis's contract? Remember the press it got because the Canes found a loophole that allowed them to get his contract under the cap by using "deferred salary?" Yeah, don't expect that won't be addressed by the league and that loophole closed. That being said, if the Canes decide to sign Necas long term, they should do it next season and they'll probably need to pay him Aho level money- close to $10M a year. Let's assume the team gets through the season without any career or long term injury concerns. And, let's be honest in the conversation. Does Jesper Fast have a place on this team right now or have we found the right combination on the ice that he may not be needed?  Does Brent Burns retire, or will he decide to stay another year? If so, there's a 1-year thank you for your service $6M deal.  If Roslovic shows out this year, that's gonna be a pretty big contract compared to the 1-year, $2.8M he's getting now. He may command around $4.5 - 5M to stay. So, those 2 guys are gonna cost you $11M. Get Necas a new deal at $10M, you're up to $14.5M of the $22.9M in space. So you've got about $8.4M to work in Orlov and Robinson, which is do-able. Plenty of room to work deals and keep every one of the UFAs if the Canes so desire.
