Steve Smith Reports No Changes Expected With Panthers Head Coaching Job

[Keeksneak59]

The question is if Carolina fired Rivera do you really think he'd be the new head coach for the Packers? No, well then that would be very telling. I don't think any team besides maybe our cousins the Bills would give him a look.

Since 1/3 to 1/2 of the people on here don't have jobs, here's how the real world works-

If you don't do your job because you want your boss to get fired, the person that gets fired is the one who doesn't do their job.

Tepper needs to turn in his balls if he keeps this disaster of a coach. A lame duck year is good for no one.

If we don’t have a new DC it will be a wasted season next year.

He didn't mention Hurney though.  that might make sense - Tepper hires his own GM this year then evaluate Ron going forward from there.  

Any GM worth his salt could evaluate bus driver Ron on past performance.

I tried to enlighten you people about this in my thread, Mr. Scot included.  Coaches winning ~20 games the last two seasons don't get fired by new owners.  

Like I said, with such a meh selection of coaches available to hire, would be dumb to fire Ron regardless when we wouldn't even have a GM in place to conduct the search for weeks or months.  Hurney will be let go, ron retained, and the new GM will use next season to evaluate whether he wants to stick with Ron or move on.

Rivera is signed through 2020. No lame duck. Tepper must eat millions in contract to shyt can Ron.

I was referring to us keeping him till the end of his contract like JR. If we keep him after this year its likely we keep him the next as well.

No it would be dumb to keep doing the same thing over and over which is keeping Ron. If we let Hurney go and get another GM, that's 3 GM changes and Ron still the HC. Are you smoking something? And you support that? The Panthers organization are already dumb as is. They'll be fuging idiots to do that. 

[Proudiddy]

Welp, maybe there's something to it more than just a Smitty/Hurney connection...  the pregame clips they just showed has Tepper in Cleveland, on the field before the game, and was talking and laughing with Ron.

[4Corners]

Meh I doubt he knows. His source is probably Hurney or Thomas Davis. Two guys that could very easily be on their ways out as well. 

[Hoenheim]

CMC is the damn truth

I’d believe it more if JR were still in charge considering he and Smitty’s relationship. I’m not sure how Tepper and Smith are so close where he has inside sources on anything pertinent.
