NFL Coaching / GM News

See above.

If he gets an interview, it should be only to pat him on the back before sending him back to his old job.

So no, I'm still not taking it seriously.

Exactly.

Look at it this way, if Beane decides to move on, a future employer will look at this & say "Went with the football guy huh? Well, that makes sense." If they didn't give him a interview that could change to "Wow... didn't even give him a second look after he had the job. He must suck."

[Mr. Scot]

Also even if Beane get's the Job, it's not a total given that he would retain Rivera. Most likely would, but not 100%

I'd trust Beane to run a head coaching search about as much as I'd trust him to run a draft.

(i.e. not at all)

There are people on the Huddle that I'd trust more than Beane to be a GM. If we're throwing personnel experience completely out the window, then what's the difference? There are people here who have actually run a business and managed people.

Could also argue it would be a mistake to set Cam Newton backwards....

That could be a bigger deal than the importance of bringing in a slightly better "game day manager" than Rivera. Bc X's and O's....Rivera's got that.

Look, Cam is a smart and young guy. Bringing in someone new isn't going to hurt him. If anybody comes in I believe it would be an offensive guy and it would make him that much better. I respect your opinion but Rivera is not the guy who is going to give us back to back winning seasons and lead us to the playoffs.

My gut feeling is if we bring Rivera back he may end up being fired by week 5 and we wasted another season when somebody else could have done better. We have seen all we are going to get from Rivera and that's mediocre at best.

I don't know about you guys but 4 winning season out of 18 is pretty damn bad. Fox got fired because he couldn't put together back to back winning seasons. We have had two losing seasons with Rivera already. What makes you think his third year will be any different? The last team that thought a coach needs a third year was the Bills and that turned out horrible with one of the best defenses and Gailey was fired.

Our team and the fans deserve better. We are not getting that with Rivera and Beane leading the way. It will be an absolute disaster.

They're going to talk to Gettleman and Ross for sure, Beane as well. RT @tylerhinson_77 @josephperson any news on panthers GM search?

It doesn't take 3 years for a HC to show he's capable of leading a team into the playoffs and beyond, unless they're an EXTREMELY bad team. We had the pieces to at-least be competing for a wildcard spot and couldn't even do that

Like I said, courtesy.

No way I believe he's a serious candidate. His resume' looks like a joke compared to the other options.

Really?

Lmao! Competing for a wild card? We was out of contention before Thanksgiving. It's odd that the 2-14 Colts with the horrible offensive line, horrible, secondary, and one good WR in Reggie Wayne has done better then the Panthers.

The Panthers has underachieved big time this season. It spells trouble when we end up with the same record as the no HC Saints and the rookie HC Greg Schiano who swept us this season.

New offense and new schemes and new coaches....definitely would slow his development. To what extent is a guess.

Cam eventually will/should be good enough that coaching becomes less important. That is the only reason I support stability around Cam vs change. Eventually, you can have a Fox/Manning type scenario. Where the coach isn't much of a factor on offense.....Cam IMO will get there. Coaching changes while he is young I fear slows that aspect

[Marguide]

You guys might recall multiple sources reporting that Jim Harbaugh was a candidate for our head coaching job too.

Things have a tendency to take on a life of their own once someone from the media puts them out there.

While I have nothing more to go on other than Gantt's comments, I believe we were in fact interested in Harbaugh. I also believe we were summarily told that he had no interest in us.

[Keith Moons Liver]

I can't believe people are actually using the development of Cam as a defense of Rivera. I sometimes wonder if Rivera is actually trying to ruin Cam. We need to get him a real coach who knows how to develop QBs and ditch this terrible excuse of an offense that Rivera and Chud keep trying to force down his throat. These are some of the most important developmental years of a QBs career and we are wasting them with amateurs.

huh? Shula is an excellent qb coach. Rivera really has little impact.
