Steve Smith has, and that definitely counts.

So have Thomas Davis, Greg Olsen, Charles Johnson, Greg hardy, Mike Tolbert and now Jordan Gross.

Not a ring among them, nor much more than a sniff at one except for Smitty

See I don't see that is being valid, because one is a money reason.

The players seem to like Rivera for different reasons's. For what reason's I don't know because I'm not in the locker room but it can't be a money factor since Rivera doesn't pay them.

The players liked Fox as well, actually the players always like the "player" coaches(like Reid).

Means nothing.

Their job isn't to like and be buddy buddy with the coach.

Is it Ron, or is it executing down the stretch?

3 Plays

1. Nakamura/Cam's fumble

2. Cam's throw into the dirt

3. Playing prevent defense against Chicago

I see only one of those as Rivera's fault.

That is a loser's mantra. Every team can pick out 3 plays that would have changed the outcome of their games.

It's the body of work that counts, not selected bits.

See I disagree, it would be one thing if it was plays, these are just one play. You execute, you win: all you have to do is execute. If the coaches were out on the field that would be one thing, but they aren't. Cam has to make throws, Nakamura has to make the play on the ball.

Great. I can't wait to start next year 1-5 and finish off the season 7-9 again.

The GM should look at Rivera's time management, situational decisions, and personnel approach... If they evaluated that fairly, he wouldn't get another chance.

You could say Nakamura starting alone was worth several losses and at the least, it was the reason for the Atlanta loss. Yet, he refused to bench him immediately, instead, he made a gestural move to appease the masses by reducing his snaps, but kept him as a starter. SMH...

The numerous timeouts he's burned and wasted. The points he's left on the field as a result. His lack of involvement (perceived) on gameday.

His broken record pressers.

His numerous gaffes in the media admitting his horrible decisions - THINK "we wanted to make them systematically beat us."

Not to mention, CJ inferred that coaches were the problem when Hurney was fired and he was angry about the decision. But, now he supports Rivera? So, when we start off the season slumping again, is Rivera the problem AGAIN?

Another thing to keep in mind... Just because the players like a coach, it doesn't mean he's the right coach. It could mean they're comfortable in the culture, especially if we've grown accustomed to not being challenged by it. Not saying that is the case, but to question a coach halfway through the season, and then to say you fully support him after he accumulates several meaningless wins and maintains the status quo of mediocrity that has been set for our team... I just have reservations.

It was clear that he was the problem and now, magically, he's not.

But, it doesn't matter what we say... He WILL be the coach here next year. There are no mistakes on Panthers.com.
