Smith spoke pretty clearly in favor of Rivera staying a short time ago.

Not sure how he'll feel about this, but in the past he's been a "it's just business" guy (like when Muhammad and Delhomme were let go).

Yeah, both points are interesting, but smitty has been around the league a while now. He understands its a business. Besides Smith, our WRs have been kind of under achievers. LaFell could/should be a lot better (even with him being hurt) and Murphy can be fixable. This team needs playmakers around Cam, and before that - you need someone that can coach playmakers.

I agree with Gantt, why the hell fire the LBs coach? That just makes no sense whatsoever

I hear you - it is really weird right? It makes zero sense on the outside, which suggests that there is (or was) something else going on here. Maybe Rivera has his eye on someone with head coaching experience and linebackers was the only area he could put them. Who knows..maybe Belin did not want to put Luke at MLB and Rivera did.

or maybe part of the condition of him staying was that change had to be made. heads had to roll. part of the whole "its just business" thing.

they have to do something that shows they won't accept the way things were. there is a price to failure and these guys just paid it so rivera, chud, and mcd don't...and i wouldn't be surprised to see more tomorrow.

right now its very likely what we're seeing is window dressing.

I don't read Darrin Gantt he's a jerk and his constant "you follow me buddy" comments on twitter got me to unfollow him. I don't understand why he's super critical of the Panthers. Rivera has completed just two seasons. Lot's of head coaches get 2 seasons. I don't get the scapegoat thing either. Who in their right mind would look at the situation and think "yeah it was the positions coaches fault". They weren't scapegoats. It just wasn't working so they made a change.

Why do I feel most of the Gantt hatred comes from the fact that he isn't a homer and he usually laughs at the fan tweets suggesting we go get whatever washed up big named player just got cut?

Not mine. I agree with gantt more often than not. I just think he goes a bit overboard in his bashing of the Panthers.

Say I'm not a big fan of lil wayne and every time he is mentioned on here I go on a fifty post rant about why he sucks and tupac is better and yadda yadda. Eventually most people would be like, we get it, you're not a weezy fan.

Thats kinda what I feel like gantt does every opportunity he gets with Carolina. Just my opinion though.
