Ok, ill say it. 7-9, Rivera should stay, unless...

[Anybodyhome]

We lost to the Chiefs.

And had Rivera been fired immediately after that loss the Panthers still would have won today.

If Ron had been struggling, trying everything he could, every angle he could conceive to win, out of his own initiative, I would agree... but it took Hurney getting fired just to start putting Cam under center more & getting our overpriced backfield back into the game. Thus I for one say no

This times 1000.

We ran that ridiculous offense for the first 6 games of the year until Chud was forced to change. What happens? We get better. Chud gets his back against the wall after 10 games for questions about why Cam isn't calling audibles. What happens? They start letting Cam call audibles and we get better.

It has been outrage from the owner, fans and the media that has driven Chud and Rivera to change and that's the only reason we aren't still seeing the same crap we saw the first 6 weeks.

Sorry, but they've got to go.

i really have a feeling if we run the table and finish 7-9 even a lot of the biggest Rivera critics will have a change of heart.

I wouldn't. The reason I wont have a change of heart because I will ask myself were was this at the first beginning of the season? What made Rivera want to improve or coach harder? The fact that our GM had to be fired to light an fire under their asses.I done seen enough of Rivera. At best Rivera is a good Defensive coordinator. He is not head coach material. The last two season show that.

The math doesn't explain every scenario. It's just an estimate. Like the weather.

You have to actually wait until every down is played to know who is in the playoffs. Rivera still has a chance imo if we get a wildcard.

Math actually does explain every scenario.

Rivera, do not want.

Meaningless late season wins, do not want.

This.

[Actionman0z]

What sealed it for me, were all the BS timeouts we had to take today. Garbage, this staff is done here. Lates bro!

[usmcpanthers]

1-12 in close games seals the deal for me, goodbye Ron

[Frizzy350]

You see this is where things get ultra confusing.. If Cam and our offense continues to look this good the rest of the season, do we still fire Chud? I think Mcdermott should go. Yes our D may have sexy stats with sacks and tackles but we still made Brady Quinn player of the week.

Sighhh.

Forget who is was on here but there is remarkable consistency with players dying and no penalties being called in games. Happened this week in dallas as well.

Any coach could have motivated this team today. Matt Ryan did it for them at the end of the first Atlanta game. It was our Super Bowl. That is sad.

Agreed... the players were amped for this game. the coaching effort could have been on auto pilot today.

Marc Ross will not keep these morons around.
