Ron Rivera a victory away from being winningest coach in Panthers history.

Rivera 73-58-1
Fox 73-71
Capers 30-34
Seifert 16-32

 

Ron I appreciate you for your hours of hardwork. 

 

I appreciate you for bringing the bite back to our defense.

 

I appreciate you for believing in Cam and Kyle Allen.

 

I appreciate you for allowing Joey Slye to be the kicker. 

 

I appreciate you for Drafting Burns and Greg Little because you kept beating the drum of having more speed on defense and protecting the QB!!

 

Ron I appreciate you for walking out on David Newton or Pesrson... doesn't mattet they are both irrelevant 

 

Thank You!!!!!!!!!

Does the fact that Ron is 5-2 in career games without Cam do anything to dispel this talking point that “Cam made Ron” and “Ron owes his entire Career to Cam”? It’s too small a sample size to draw any definitive conclusions, but the limited empirical evidence suggests that’s pretty baseless. Not sure how you can reasonably distinguish their successes/failures when they’ve been a tandem for their entire careers.

It is going to be real funny when Ron is no longer the coach and the Huddle gets what it has asked for and all of a sudden the Huddle realizes that good coaches don't grow on trees. 

Ron took over after the 2010 season when the Panthers were the worst team in the NFL and basically had zero talent on the roster other than Cam and Smitty . . . and Cam was a rookie and Smitty was disgruntled.  The 2010 season was the worst display of football I have ever seen in my life and Ron inherited that team and turned them into a playoff team in a couple years. 

Maybe he has worn out his welcome in Carolina and it is time for a change, but make no mistake he will be re-hired instantly and will be successful at his next landing spot (whenever this may be).

Yeah a lot of agenda huddlers are going to get *very* uncomfortable as Allen keeps tallying wins for this reason.  They've maintained for years that Ron is 0-58-1 and Cam is 71-0, or whatever.

I'm pretty sure the exact same sentiment was thrown out there when we let go of John Fox. And Fox actually  did get another job fairly quick, but he didn't win a championship there either (or on the next one).

The whole "he'll get another job in a hot minute" argument is never a good enough reason to hold on to a guy if you don't think he's going to get you where you want to go. Teams aren't looking to have a guy with a great regular season record. They want championships. If you can't win one, they'll find somebody else who can.

There are a lot of jobs where is you can sustain a long, happy career in the same spot just by being good enough even if you're never great.

NFL head coach isn't one of them.

This will be popular, but in typical ask a controversial question Huddle style: "Has Cam Newton been holding Ron Rivera back?

 

lol

If he has, it's ultimately Ron's fault. Regardless of what a player is saying, when it's blatantly obvious that he shouldn't be on the field it's your job as the head coach to make that call.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
