Is Giants game Rivera's last stand?

[PantherAZ]

I'm not up to speed on Charlotte sports talk radio, but I put on (the drive, maybe?) on radio.com today. One of the hosts (I don't know how credible they are) said a source in the organization had told him that if we lose on Thursday, Ron will not be coach on Monday. Has anyone heard anything like that?

I'm not one to hope for a loss for any reason, but if this is true, I'm finding it difficult to hope they win. I'm terrified of a late season winning streak after we're out of play off contention saving his job. I'll find it difficult until kick off on Sunday. Then I'll be right back in front of my tv yelling like a maniac while my wife gives me odd looks.

Thoughts?

The Giants or Gettlemans old team coming to play his new team with a bye week after. It's definitely possible and if your going to fire him in the season no better time to do it.

[Cam's New Arm]

if he makes it that far..

[CelibatePimpv2.0]

Nice though I thought he should have gone after yesterday. For all you know those radio hosts might be full of sh*t also, just trying to stir things up.

[CharlottePanther]

Oh sweet poetic justice. Ron getting fired after losing to the new GM's former team which just so happens to fall during the bye.

While I think RR is not a great HC, maybe a good DC....I can not wish for my panthers to lose....I still think we have a good shot at this season...win this game and we're 1-2...then string together some wins...AZ, Rams, Vikings, Bucs....hell we're 5-2 or 4-3 with a realistic one loss during that stretch....it could happen....KEEP POUNDING!!!!

No. JR isn't going to fire him mid season. No matter how much we squeal.

We play Thursday???

The same was said about Hurney

Why

 

Fire him, you have to pay him

 

Keep him, you have to pay him

 

Either way he's getting paid to not succeed at doing what's supposed to

[TheRed]

He should be fired immediately if we lose to the Giants. But unfortunately for us, I doubt that will happen.

Jerry Richardson doesn't care if we win or lose. He's getting his money either way.

I thought I was the only one who caught that...

 

I guess that source isn't too reliable then. Our Thursday game is vs the Bucs

[NYPantherFan]

Why

 

Fire him, you have to pay him

 

Keep him, you have to pay him

Id rather him get paid while someone else is helping this team succeed rather than Rivera's game management holding them back

[L-TownCat]

Nope. I've been around long enough to know our franchise shows no mercy to its fans. They will drag us kicking and screaming all the way past the mid point of the season with various reports of the temperature of RR seat. As the trigger is set to be pulled we win 2 or 3 straight, halting the process only to be blown out the last 2 games. Rivera will unceremoniously be fired on black Monday, fans will scream "finally!!!"and then the next never heard of him coach will show up and dick us all.
