I'm officially in the "Look to the future" mode....

2 years is like a fuging lifetime in this league

I've seen enough from Rivera to realize we're spinning our wheels here. Between a lack of preparedness, failure to establish better tackling on the defense, and terrible management of situational football, he's not a very good head coach.

[PantherTrain84]

We need to start DA! Yes you read that right and here is why. DA is not a running QB, so with DA we would be forced to ditch that craptastic option play and get back to a more conventional offense which = more wins.

Rivera is done after this season. Who are some hot coaching candidates? Jay Gruden? Rob Ryan?

[Firehurneydotcom]

Of course Richardson chooses Rivera over Rob Ryan. F*cking old idiot can't do poo right for this organization.

Even if Rob Ryan sucked at least he would be fun to watch and laugh at on the sideline. Stonewall Jackson just pisses me off.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Yeah, I have been trying to stand behind this staff, but the entire staff needs to be let go. We have good players but we need the coaches that can get the most out of them. Having the right coaches makes all the difference. I'm baffled Hurney is still here. The guy is a moron and his master plan still hasnt come together after all these years. I'm convinced he doesn't know what the hell he is doing. He probably draws names out of a hat in the draft

My goodness it's gotten so bad there are "Start Derek Anderson" posts...

[methodtoll]

I think it is still too early to rule out Rivera... If we get to 6-10 then I will be on the wagon.

[Guest Tom Cat]

I dont think rivera is going anywhere this year or next

unfortunately

just a feeling I get from listening to him speak- he sounds nothing like a guy should who is on the hot seat he ought to be on

It's funny how many people are down on the Panthers because of their dismal play. If you would have paid close attention to the team last year, you would have known that we were not a very good team then. We were the product of no training camp, new coach, new coordinators and a new franchise QB. No one knew who we were or what to expect. This year teams have had a chance to look at plenty of film, thus, in the words of former Cardinals coach Dennis Green; we are exactly who they thought we were, and that's not a very good football team. So, in my opinion, we are about where we should be. Year 2 of a 4 year project...Go Panthers!!!!

If you call a team with no cap room, and the kind of players we have on the team a project you're crazy. We have our vets and we have our players in place, a franchise QB, this is no project anymore just a change in coaching and it sucks. Other teams must have two year projects because very little stay with the same coaches beyond that. JR will let him play it out though, because it makes more buisness sense.

[Panthersfan704]

Smitty isn't getting any younger guys (just saying) ....maybe we get a vet WR like Nicks during the offseason hopefully..

[heelsrule1988]

Even the tarheels will suck this year in BBall. All my teams suck this year!

If you're talking about relative to last season, sure. The cycle begins again, so of course we're not going to be a national title contender. But I don't think we'll have a repeat of 2009-2010... I see 25 wins and a Sweet 16 appearance.

I agree 20-25 wins, sweet 16...ive been spoiled with unc, i consider that a so so season

wouldn't pay too much to that. it's coming from a bad poster.

[Snake]

Gotta love PSLs. No way for fans to show disapproval. If Marty Hurney and Rivera are still here next year I will have no investment in this team because it will be the same old joke told way too many times. Neither at this point have proven any reason they should be around next year.
