This is LaCanfora, He's a hack and anything he says needs to be taken with Sodium on levels of the Baltic Sea.

So the philosophy is going to be to fire assistants but keep the same people in charge and expect things to change...

Brilliant 

[Pantha-kun]

Firing assistants hasnt worked thus far,  whats convinced Tepper that its going to change anything going forward? Is that going to change the horrible time management,  the huge chunk plays against his defense,  the conservative bullshit that simaultaneously nueters both the offense and defense,  the players always making critical bone headed mistakes that cost us drives? 

At this point im just resigned to the fact that Riveras not going anywhere still riding the coattails of a magical 15-1 season 3+ seasons of failure later.

Its going to take 2 losing seasons in a row to for him to ever be fired.  

Abd thus we will continue to wallow in mediocrity and inconsistency , and will continue to be mocked by other nfl fans because the organization refuses to change its losing culture

I see this as a power move . Tepper is telling Ron -look this is the way your staff should be put together- if Ron balks he’s gone. Simple as that . Win win really. Tepper is pushing Ron to the very brink and we will see who blinks first . We all know how stubborn Ron is...will he allow tepper to call the shots or will he walk ?

This is possibly old news, but Newton at ESPN says:

Panthers coach Ron Rivera will be back next season, multiple sources said on Friday. ]

[Cookie Lyon]

Quote

Tepper will discuss the matter candidly with Rivera after the season; should Rivera blanch at all about the scope of changes required, it is at least possible this situation could deteriorate. The Panthers job would be coveted by top candidates if available, which is not lost on ownership.

Tepper might as well fire this idiot now. Rivera will never change.

[CatTower]

I like Rivera's defensive mindset.  Get better people under him and we can turn it around.  He's proven to me to be a competent head coach and there aren't a lot of them looking for jobs.

Good thing I love rooting for bad teams, or I’d be pissed off

If Ron balks...Ron is just going to stand there with his arms folded and nod
