Ron Rivera Press Conference

[pantherclaw]

I can't wait to go to my first game next year after Rivera is fired.

GIVE US A GOD DAMN OFFENSIVE MINDED COACH ASSHOLE

in case you aren't old enough to be a panther fan from the beginning,

Richardson prefers defensive minded head coaches.

Don't hold your breath.

[Ruff]

i hope to hell this is just coachspeak for the media and not indicative of a culture of milquetoastery in the locker room

Guess which word I had to look up.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I bet a third of you did not even see the conference and are jumping to conclusions based on text. I just finished with the video and Ron did not give me a non chalant vibe at all. He basically does not want everyone to burn out in the first game when its a long long season.

 

Chill people. I wish It was Sunday already.

[pantherclaw]

I'm sure Rivera and the team knows the importance of winning tge opener and starting strong.

[FootballMaestro]

...and I hate Rivera for his lack of urgency too.  I keep hoping I'm wrong.

 

My $212 per seat tickets don't say 'well, we want' to play strong but if we don't win there are 15 other games'.

 

I expect urgency and their best effort every single game and one day Rivera will learn, if you are going to not be prepared, don't do it at home.

 

How can you not have "URGENCY (besides your job being on the line)", when you only play 16 games, one day a week for your season???

I would be pretty sure that RR is telling them behind closed doors that they need to come out and prove that they are a real team. I am also sure that he doesn't want to give the hawks any locker room quotes to put on the walls.

"Okay guys bring it in. This is the first game of the season. We are going to have a tough task in front of us with the Hawks. I just want you to know, if we lose the season is over. So if for some reason we don't pull this one out. Everyone panic. Now let's go get em"

Ron will have to answer that question.

 

This may be my last year of season tickets.  I would like to walk out of that stadium just one  more time for the home opener, not pissed off.

technically i made it up lol

I hope our players aren't as mentally fragile as some of our fans.

[fieryprophet]

I honestly don't know where the hell these retarded ideas about coaches come from. I judge Rivera on his missteps in play calls and situational coaching (the most difficult facet to learn) and people have a rightful beef there. But motivation and accusations of a lack of urgency? Shut your ignorant mouths. You look at the way the team fought in a meaningless game against the Saints and tell me they didn't want it. And now that the stakes are higher you think they lack urgency? Are people seriously that effing stupid?

[Zod]

I hope our players aren't as mentally fragile as some of our fans.

 

SCREW YOU MAN! SCREW YOU!!!!

 

[Growl]

i just don't like him hedging his bets. commit to it.

I rewatched the conference and added some more info and clarifications to the OP.
