Rivera - Coach of the Year?

[CardiacCat]

• Ron Rivera could again be named Coach of the Year.

He has already won it twice and has a talented team in Carolina. Still, when I asked three head coaches who the most underrated coach in football was, Rivera was among the top three names each gave. They think he's one of the best in the game at managing a locker room, and with the talent the Panthers have this year, the team could make a deep run in January.

I'm so confused . . . does the Huddle like Ron again or does everyone still blame him for wasting Cam and Luke's careers???

If you want to be coach of the year again, a good starting point is not losing seven games in a row.

The Amazon show opened a lot of eyes. He still has issues and he still is responsible overall for the team but he impressed me a lot in that show.

It's a bit premature to crown him, but I think he's going to have a darned good year.

What the fug is wrong with Luke?

Hey, it's an odd year. And you know how Riverboat Ron is:

Odd years: 50-20, Coach of Year (2)

Even years: 27-36-1

What's the obsession with coach of the year?

Mike Smith was coach of the year, and ended up getting canned. It really doesn't matter.

trash coach who won't win poo.

he swore at halftime of a game that derailed the entire season, and people think he's a good coach all of a sudden. 

the panthers don't need a coach to be the players' best friend. they need one who knows what he's doing on sundays and that isn't rivera.

If he doesn't get a winning record and a playoff win this season , Tepper will clean house and install his own coaches and staff

Im still blaming him for wasting by not improving on head coaching intangibles. We know he can motivate a locker room times x10 but can you make those game management decisions that will turn the tables in a game. Not sitting Cam in the past when he was clearly hurt and coudnt play to his ability still has a bad taste in my mouth. Lastly, 3 winning seasons out of 8 pretty much is what it is at this point.  Only a super bowl win out of one of those seasons would make that tenure less unsatisfying. I could go on but thats just somethings i hold up. Just My opinion.

Unsure at this point. With his concussion history, I’m sure the slightest of ding to the head can/will sideline him for a day or two. Totally understandable.

Then again, Ron won’t say much, nor should he feel obligated to at this point. I get how it can be frustrating for fans, and the media (I get it). It’s just not in anybody’s best interest to say a whole lot about it. At least from the team’s perspective.
