If Panthers get off to slow start, Rivera may be fired by the BYE suggests Sharpe

[top dawg]

Check out what Sterling Sharpe has to say about Rivera and the hot seat.

 

 "Ron Rivera, the last two seasons, has started 2-8," Sharpe said. "He's not going to get a chance to go (2-8) because if he loses his first two (games) they are going to consider firing him in Week 3."

 

 Wow! Ain't that nothing?

 

You think he has some inside info, or is he just pulling this out of his ass?  I think that he is just making headlines.

You can't fire your damn coach after 3 weeks of football.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

sharp has never had inside info on anything.

[callofthewild]

I have as much inside info as Sterling freaking Sharpe. 

 

He was fun to watch as a player, though.

[Proudiddy]

Well, he does live in Charlotte, so he COULD have some inside info. And if we start out cold again, I'd be all for it, but I don't see JR doing it. Hopefully, we start 2-0 and stay strong throughout the rest of the season and this isn't even a thought come week 3.

[MuMouey]

he doesn't know anything inside. But i agree with the theory. Slow start = adios

[mwright350]

Given how media-phobic our team is its highly unlikely he knows anything. Even if we were going to leak that he wouldn't be the guy that got it.

[teeray]

Wouldn't be surprised if we made a change mid season, but I don't think it would be after 3 games though. But who knows?

Probably not Sharpe

[Jesse]

When the fug did Sharpe become a Panthers insider?

[CRA]

Idiot think the has inside I info....RR has started each year at 2-8. He is just suggesting a 3rd year in a row down that path may just be stopped. I think a 1-3 or 0-4 start could do it for most franchises. Carolina? I think JR would just ride it out

[MCC]

So by week 4 we'd fire our head coach who the players really buy in to and promote one of two under-qualified coordinators? 

 

That would pretty much be saying the season is over.  Sharper is pulling poo out of his ass, like he always does. 

[countryboi]

Sharpe it's just tossing poo and the walls and seeing what sticks...no matter how bad this team start RR is at least making to the end of the season

[carolina-chuck]

If we go 0-2 and especially lose to the Bills next week, it'd only make sense for Rivera to be fired.

Sharpe

 

such an ironic name

 

 

 

 

that marble-mouth mumblesaurus hasn't got a fugging clue what he is talking about.  He just wants somebody to say his name outside of that program... he thanks the OP.
