Respect to Rivera

[WarPanthers89]

Say what you want but he coached us to the best season we have ever had, and is an amazing person…football aside. I am happy to see moments like this, he has been in a terrible situation in Washington and in his personal life with the loss of his mother and cancer. He has always had the respect of his team and the locker room everywhere he has been.

I still say Ron, needed a good GM here.  Would have made a lot of difference.  I have a lot of respect for the man and was happy for the win last night.

I just feel like Ron didn’t coach up enough players and had no clue what to do on offense other than let Cam play hero ball. He got a dope win last night but he’s basically had a significant losing record here and in Washington.

Got no support from his GM to get some good players around Cam.  Oline was a mess for years.

Ron had a winning record here.    And he still has an overall winning record despite losing in Washington to date. 

Ron gets too much hate.   His window here simply closed.  That's coaching.

Ohh there is a lot to say for sure. Good human and what is happening up in Commieland is par for the course. .500 HC built on tough football and limited by ability to adapt with the game. And he wanted Hurney back here and up there lol.

He had a good win but they are division rivals and the Eagles are good but not unbeatable. It's not surprising really. Who beat Ron in his almost perfect year here? Yup.

I'm still glad he is gone and Wilks looks too similar for any excitment about him long term. Congrats on the win and maybe not getting fired at the end of the year with Snyder up to his kneck in his gross mess.

.546 here and .422 up in DC for a total of .522. Bearly over .500 total with a sample size of 12 years. His window closed decades ago and without Cam he would not even break .500. And that is being kind.

Well he decided to bring in Marty Hurney to Washington so I'm not sure Ron realized that he needed a better GM.

It was awesome to watch them take down the Eagles last night. I hope Ron and the rest of the former Panthers on that team continue to succeed. 

[AU-panther]

He had Cam and Luke in their primes and never had back to back winning seasons.

He's a middling coach and a company man to a fault. Glad he's coaching another team. 

[WarPanthers89]

Lol I like how I mentioned football aside and showed a touching video about his emotions just two weeks after his mother passing and people are hating on no back to back winning seasons.

over .500 is not having a "significant losing record" no matter what

It is in Wahington and not here. Context and checking who said what matters because I never said what you quoted.

And add in the fact that without Cam he would have looked a lot more like his Commie time here. So yeah mediocre overall at best who got lucky walking into a franchise QB who he ruined. Yay!

Cam wouldn't have been successful with all 31 other franchises.  I doubt Cam would have seen the success he had with the overwhelming majority of them.  The Ron and Cam marriage worked.   Ron gets some credit there...but people here give him none. 

Ron is a good coach.  He just wasn't a great one.   And I said it when he left, it's easier to do worse than Ron.  Hard to do better.
