Carolina Panthers What will it take for Rivera to Save his Job?

[Jackofalltrades]

Winning record.

[Creep59]

Play calling and proper game management cost us almost every game.

 

 

 

 

Thats pretty difficult to quantify - but undoubtedly  Rivera made some bone headed  game management calls - that either left points on the field or led to points in our opponents column 

 

Im also rooting for the guy - He is likeable, seems forthright and the players seem to respect him.  On the other hand I want a change in January 2014, if he cant coach and lead us to winning season and playoff berth this year.

[Strawman]

Double digit wins, or playoffs, nothing else.

[MHS831]

Win 10 and go dancing.

[Jangler]

Playoffs or cupping the balls.

[pantherclaw]

just win baby!!!!

[top dawg]

With our schedule as tough as it is, Rivera should stay if we can get 9 wins. To me, the playoffs---which are a possibility---would be icing on the cake.

 

I like what Ron has done building the team, and I think it would definitely hurt the team for a few years if he were to get axed if we go .500 or more.  I think that we are still a few pieces away from championship material, and I want to see what Rivera does with his growth as a coach and all the pieces in place.

It wasn't the point I was trying to make and I could be wrong, but for argument's sake...

CHI goes 16-0 clenches division

NYG go 15-1, clench division (split games with DAL)

SF goes 15-1 clenches division

ATL goes 15-1 clenches division

DAL goes 15-1 (split games with NYG but loses tiebreaker)

SEA goes 15-1 (split games with SF but loses tiebreakers)

We finish 15-1 but lose the wildcard spot to tiebreakers

It's impossible. Has to be at least 5 15-1 teams besides the Panthers. Can't come from NFCW bc they play NFCS and Panthers have to split series w/ division winner for only loss. That means the 4 15-1 teams come from NFCE & NFCN, but since they play each other it is literally impossible.

[The Huddler]

Lol if he gets us in the playoffs the dude is staying. Lmao at you who think otherwise

[CRA]

JR makes the call and he kept Hurney for 10 long years. Why does everyone think Ron will be fired if we dont make the playoffs?

Hurney went to 2 NFCCG and a Superbowl...few teams can claim such in that sort of window.

Richardson almost let Ron go after this last year....made a big production of allowing him to stay. So that is the main reason that slaps you in the face

CHI  goes 16-0 clenches division

NYG go 15-1, clench division (split games with DAL)

SF goes 15-1 clenches division

ATL goes 15-1 clenches division

 

DAL goes 15-1 (split games with NYG but loses tiebreaker)

SEA goes 15-1 (split games with SF but loses tiebreakers)

 

We finish 15-1 but lose the wildcard spot to tiebreakers

 

Yeah, I guess you ARE right.

 

Or, Panthers could go 15 - 1 and before the playoffs start the meteor hits.

 

Probably more plausible.

But dont we play 3 of these teams? (Sea, SF, ATL) .  If SF and SEA split with each other for their 1 loss each and we split with Atl for a loss each.  Then either Car, SF, or Sea will have more than one loss correct?

[JawnyBlaze]

10-6 or playoffs in my opinion.  10-6 and no playoffs isn't marginal growth like we've shown the past 2 years.  It's substantial growth.  However, if we go 10-6 based on talent alone and there's still boneheaded blunders and stupid decisions leading to those 6 losses I say he should still get fired.
