We need a clock coach, a challenge coach, a half-time adjustment coach, a two-minute offense coach, and a game plan coach.  Other than that, Rivera has got this.

Not all that surprising unfortunately.

Rivera has more often than not been the same flawed coach regardless of who the GM is. Why do people think that canning Hurney is going to magically correct those flaws that haven't changed in 8+ years?

Only way I can live with retaining Rivera is if we bring in a GM who is going to light a fire under Ron's ass. Start consistently coaching like you've got a pair, or adios.

You don't understand people that want Hurney gone but you want Hurney gone...

Another thing ron did was Keep Matt Kalil off the field I also like to keep Norv it seems if we keep ron Norv stays

#asexpected Tepper is all talk

the fact he didn't start calling plays til tampa is grounds for termination.  richard rodgers, eric washington? are you fuging kidding me.

If we don't fire him after this year, the next opportunity to fire him will be after 2020 because we all know the Panthers go to the playoffs in odd years after a losing season...

That is it--he seems to have lack of vision.  Waits until he gets burned before crying "Fire".  Coordinator positions are rewards for loyal service to him.

If true, his new nickname should be Teflon Ron.  At least we only have about a week longer until we find out for sure.

Maybe, but it is a premature to be talking.  He is still new to this, and maybe he wants to slow roll this thing a bit to make sure he has options.

If you think about it, most GMs hire and fire the coach--so if Hurney leaked the news that RR is coming back, it could be an act of desperation or an act of ignorance.   We really do not know the source, but I would doubt Tepper has tipped his hand to anyone yet.

do i have to remind everyone that we brought udfa adam thielen in for a visit and decided he sucked.

Did you actually read, or more importantly, comprehend the overall point I made in the post?

I'm mostly indifferent on Hurney. I didn't want him back in the first place. I've said all along that his time here won't last anyway. I'm fine if he goes, but not if we're going to pretend that alone is going to turn Ron into a better coach. Rivera has never displayed any consistent ability to evolve or learn from his mistakes. You can't keep blaming GM's for his glaring failures. Especially if people are going to continue to tout his "coach of the year" honors.

When that person runs out of people to fire, he may have to harry caray himself.
