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

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
