Carolina Panthers, Ron Rivera to meet Saturday

[Mr. Scot]

Oh god, what have I started?

When the mods see this, you'll either be banned or sentenced to five years in a federal "pound me in the ass" prison.

[Guest Tom Cat]

Just listened to Mick Mixon on a local ttalk radio show - he seems to feel Rivera is staying

[Dex]

He's staying people, now let's wrap up Ross.

[Marguide]

I agree that Rivera will be here one more year. Not saying I agree with the decision, just that it is what will happen.

However, you have to wonder if JR has waited to talk to Ron because his talk is going to be a little bit more complicated than just giving him a vote of confidence. Perhaps he is going to put pre-conditions on his continuing, i.e. perhaps staff changes, or perhaps letting JR bring in a "consultant" to help Ron.

Who says Ross wants to come somewhere that has a HC he did not choose?

Just speaking hypothetically but if we lost Ross or someone like Gettlemen because we kept Rivera.....

[CLEARHOT]

Maybe Hurney was fired because,he didn't have enough "flair" on his suspenders? Or maybe because he kept beating on the wall between his and JRs office while yelling "Hey Jer....breast exam on channel 9!"

[Mr. Scot]

When asked to defend himself, Hurney said "I have people skills! I am good with people, dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people?!"

I'd like to move us right along to a Brandon Beane. Now we had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd rather ask him to move his office into the basement.

I understand that Richardson was out of town, so do not read too much into the date.

There are some things you do not do over the phone.

However, I think RR's judgement day could be in one year, if he can get a GM to agree to take the job under those conditions. If not, RR is gone.

I agree with everythig written here/ Would like to add that I feel Ron will improve, that his inexperienced staff worked to his disadvantage. (In other words, a veteran coordinator may have provided input that avoided many of the management issues)

[The Special One]

Adam Shefter just reported that the meeting will take place in Jerry Richardson's bedroom. Interesting stuff.
