Why Ron Rivera Will Provide a Charge to the Carolina Panthers

[ncguy2184]

Reports out of San Diego say that defensive coordinator Ron Rivera will be the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers. He’s not John Gruden; he’s not Bill Cowher; he’s better.

Ron Rivera finished up 2010 with the best overall defense in the NFL. The San Diego Chargers ranked first in total yards allowed, passing yards allowed per game and finished second in yards per play, third-down percent and sacks. The Chargers also finished fourth in rushing yards allowed per game.

I wonder if we could have him as the HC and DC just like Garrett will be the HC and OC for Dallas.

I'm sure we could , but for the first year or so I'd prefer he surround himself by the best possible staff, he's going to have enough stuff to worry about without having to do two jobs. After he gets a firm grasp on the position of head coach if he feels he can do the DC job too by all means knock your self out.

[Mr. Scot]

I know some guys have done it, but I don't like that model.

I'd rather the DC do the play calls so the head coach can focus on game management.

i would like Rivera to be the DC as far as schemes and all the other stuff that DCs do, except for play calling. just get some assistant from the Chargers who knows his style and will call plays for him.

Well, you can't really say it's inaccurate, just not really applicable.

Anybody who can make Derek Anderson to Braylon Edwards look like a match made in heaven could possibly work wonders with our QBs.
