How would you feel about Tepper if Rivera keeps his job?

Our offense sucks too though

That's the thing. If he doesn't defer tonight, we're still gonna go 3 and out and they'll return the punt for a TD

[CatMan72]

I expect Rivera to be retained with a new GM who gets the freedom to determine if Rivera is his guy next year. 

[Panther1iDawg]

I think he should be gone, but I wouldn't over react if he doesn't get fired. I'm not  a fan of , fire, hire, repeat.

I would feel like I’ve been right the entire time and Tepper isn’t going to fire a guy who just won 11 games. Pretty sure Hurney won’t be around , will get a new GM and Ron will be evaluated

[Sgt Schultz]

I’d be okay with this if the rationale is that THE GM needs to be in place first, and that meant there was not time enough to find THE head coach. 

That assumes Tepper does not already have a GM candidate on speed dial, ready to be called as soon as the dust settles from this season.  If Hurney is axed 24 hours after the season ends and his replacement is hired before Super Bowl, then Rivera staying would be on his own merit (or benefit of a doubt) rather than the sand in the hourglass getting low. 

Everybody needs to sit down for this, that means another assumption is the Panthers will not be in the Super Bowl.

What I don’t want to see is Rivera fired the day after the season ends and the coaching search dragging because of an ongoing GM search, meaning the eventual HC hire is probably going to be “the best of what’s left.”  The Raiders were experts at that at the end of Al Davis’ era, and wound up selecting from people nobody else wanted.  Of course, for them the process was complicated by nobody wanting the job in the first place.

While I think the sun has set on what Rivera can accomplish with this team, he is better than "the best of those not good enough to be a HC elsewhere."

We were teed up too well to sh*t the bed this poorly. We were in the damn driver seat for both damn Browns and Lions games.

Rivera sucks so bad that Hurney's had a better year and should not be the first to go. That's sad, but it's also true. He had a good draft and tried to plug holes left by his predecessor. Some succeeded, but a lot failed because they quit as soon as they signed on the dotted line. Poe and Short haven't given anything remotely close to effort since 2017. 

I'd fire the coach now, have the owner play a big role in the new coaching hire, then fire the GM after next season once the coach is in place. 

No sense in rolling with Rivera and going 1-15 again.

[Varking]

Upset for a hot minute and move on. Cam getting another off season to get healthy is more important to me. 

[Jon Snow]

I would sit this next season out.  I can't get behind the retention of Marty Hurney for any reason.  Rivera I could stomach until his contract is up, maybe.  But Hurney must go for me to even watch this team flounder through another season of mediocrity.

If the "speed dial" GM exists, I have to imagine it's Omar Khan.

Substitute "bewildered" for "upset" and that pretty much describes my position.  Whether Rivera and/or Hurney are here or not next year, I think that if Cam is not healthy it will be a long year for anybody unless the defense suddenly becomes a lock down unit and makes offensive output a luxury.  They are a long way from that, and more like a revolving door at this point that allows people to pass through with only a slight slow down.

If Ron’s back I’ll spend my Sundays doing something else. No offense to the super elite homerlords around here, but he’d be just as status quo as Jerry if he keeps this bum.

Here’s the bottom line. If Ron Rivera remains the Panthers coach in 2019 it means one thing and one thing only....mediocrity is acceptable and rewarded.
