Panthers Begin Head Coach Search?

Hope this is true.

 

I'm not sold after 1 solid win against the Giants (zero wins) & where our DL was insanely in BEASTMODE.  We will see in November against the Flacons where we really are.  The cards, vikes, rams & bucs would all be beat by the talent on this team with a top notch coaching staff.  Time for Rivera to put up or shut up.  Come to think of it, Rivera actually doesn't say much 1 way of the other.

I'm sure Gettleman was pissed watching Rivera poo the bed during that Buffalo game, as he sat on a 3 pt lead. SMH

 

Now, he's going to let Rivera know, "it's full pedal to the metal"/you gotta win if you wanna come back. 

 

They probably had a talk and we see what happened against the Giants (38-0). 

 

So now during the 4th game, in case Rivera got complacent, this is perfect timing (especially after a 2 week bye). 

 

And this should silence/Question all the "Rivera is learning, is great coach to me" supporters on The Huddle!!

 

Gettleman knows Rivera is flawed. Anybody would (except some Huddler's/his relatives), just watching hist first few seasons, or the Buffalo game.

No matter what me, you, or the organization want to call it, the information is public now. It's began. It's active.

 

Yep.  Seriously doubt the organization wanted this information out there.

 

I agree with doing the preliminary work now, but no, you don't want this known.

That's ultimately what it comes down to.

 

Like I said, this whole ordeal may limit our list of candidates. We could very well end up with another Ron Rivera kind of hire again.

 

DG aint gonna let that happen.... you can see him beginning to put his mark on this team and for the most part I like what he is doing..

I'd think this was bad if Rivera was a good coach, but he hasn't been since he's been here. If Rivera loses to the Cardinals, he deserves to be fired. He can either use this as motivation or just stay the same stoic Ron. Gettleman has had enough and is preparing himself for the very likelihood that the Giants game was an aberration against a very poor team.

Maybe this is being leaked to keep the fire lit under Rivera... a story was circulated that Rivera would be fired if we lost to the Giants and guess what, the team responded and hammered the Giants 38-0. These players care about coach Rivera and will fight for him, so maybe Gettleman wants to keep the gun to Rivera's head to get the most out of this team? 

 

On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if they were lining up candidates... yes we hammered the Giants but the Giants are a crap team, Gettleman may have already seen enough and decided to move on. 

 

Exactly! You can't do your best coaching search at the of the season if you could line up/size up candidates now, months in advance. This way you can properly access, negotiate, wait out certain people, grab them early, etc..

 

Keep him or not keep him. It's a good Move. Rivera's hasn't shown anything in the NFL that would require otherwise. I would have fired him last year. So maybe Gettle is just trying to do this the right way, barring a miracle by Ron Ron (for me a Superbowl appearance).

If  the panthers get blown out.......... I'm already blaming this as a distraction.


Rivera and everyone already knows that if he doesn't win,  if he doesn't at least make the playoffs,  he is fired..   To leak this  hours before a road game,  to me,  shows a lack of respect and faith in both the players and the coaching staff.          It's not only kickin a guy,  but kickin a guy that is already down.    

 

 

Either freaking fire Rivera or let him finish the season..          no need for a mass media feeding frenzy.

JR hired Gettleman. Based on Gettleman's own statements, I wouldn't expect any kind of shocking hire from us.

I'm hoping that I am wrong, but I see another boring and relatively inexpensive defensive coordinator as head coach.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
