Only 2 options with Rivera

The writing on the wall says that Rivera will not be back next year unless a miracle happens and looking at our 2nd half opponents looks like we might go 0-6 ending the year with a bad taste in our mouth. That being said I have been trying to figure out in my mind what DG’s best choice with Rivera would be. I have narrowed it down to 2 options.

 

1.       Assuming we lose to the Giants we should fire Rivera after the game. This allows an interim coach 2 weeks to make his plan.

a.       The pro to this that it puts the entire team on notice and that ‘might’ create a spark to get us a few extra wins.

b.      The con to this is that we are starting new and chances are the interim coach is not ‘DG’s guys’ so its kind of a waste of time.

2.       Keep Rivera until the end of the year because chances are that DG’s coaching staff he wants is not currently available so plugging in new guys really doesn’t improve our situation at all.

a.       The pro to this is that it gives our team a chance to correct its mistakes and with a few lucky bounces we have a good team.

b.      The con to this is that Rivera makes coaching flubs that makes all want his head.

 

End of the day I think we either HAVE to make the move after a loss to the Giants – or don’t make one at all.

JR and DG know what they are getting with Rivera, if they wanted him gone, he would have not been retained for this season.  This is obviously a throw away year so DG can get the finances straighten out and be able to assemble a championship team for 2014 and the players are playing like it.  Why do you think everyone was getting 1 year contracts?  The thought that DG was going to be able to use what carolina already had to win a superbowl was an illusion generated by us fans.

1 year contracts were a league wide phenomenon. I'm not saying a lot of things aren't going to change after this year or that even Gettleman set this up just in case. But these 1 year deals were happening everywhere around the league and a lot.

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
