Of the 4 candidates, I think only Eric Bieniemy will manage to command the respect Rivera had in the locker room

That's not to say Bieniemy is the only guy that can succeed here, but he'll have a leg up on the others. 

Whoever follows Rivera will be following a guy that played on the '85 Bears, was here 9 seasons, made a Super Bowl, and was extremely respected in the locker room. 

I don't see guys like Luke Kuechly coming in and immediately respecting a college coach (Rhule), a former coaching flameout that abandoned his new team after he managed to get a new job anyway (McDaniels), and a guy whose big knock was literally that he wasn't respected by guys in the locker room (McCarthy). Bieniemy is the only former NFL player of the 4 and has had huge success everywhere he's gone. This shouldn't be a hard decision if these end up being the 4 options.

Oh yeah - the respect to get doors blown off on defense time and time again

???

Are you thinking of someone else? Because he's only been an offensive coordinator, never a head coach or d-coordinator, so you can't really fault KC's defense on him can you? It would be like blaming Norv Turner for Donte Jackson.

I just think they have their choices already and are just kicking the tires since really no one else to interview since they are still playing. I think its between McCarthy and McDaniels.

You know he's interviewing with us this very morning right?

You might be right about being respected by the current players, but I don’t think 90% of the players from the 2019 team will be here in two years so who cares

I agree I don’t think respect of the current roster matters much. With respect to core guys like Luke and Cam, who are both experienced professionals, if whatever new coach we get runs a tight, focused well organized ship, those guys will recognize and respect that. Being a former player isn’t the sole path to respect.

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
