Is this enough for Rivera to stay

[CPcavedweller]

uhh if we make the playoffs he stays...

or if we go 10-6, and narrowly miss, maybe still keep him.

but if we look terrible from here out he has proved nothing... but circumstances will determine a lot of that.

No reason we should go 4-3 the rest of the way. Falcons, Bucs, and Dolphins. If we can win the next two ill be confident the rest of the way. There's no reason we should lose to the Pats. Their defense is no where near the level of the 49ers and if we can get a good push with our guards we will run the ball 30 times.

ask again in 2 months

not quite but hes making a damn good case.... 5 straight? jezuz

[2plankingpanther]

3 more wins and he gets another year

depends on how he gets them,I say w/the way the team is playing right now it depends how he keeps the team going,if they slack off and get sloppy,9-7 is no guarantee of his keeping the job!

[nationsford]

Don't get me wrong I'm not worryed about it. I'm enjoying this win right now. But in all honesty I want this guy to stay from what I seeing from this defense. If he gets just a little bit smarter on the offensive side of the ball this while league is in trouble.

I feel like the league is in trouble now.

[Way Truth Life]

Rivera saved his job when the Panthers hit 4-3.  

 

Honestly, he is not really doing anything better....the Panthers are simply winning the games they should (except Buffalo) and not losing games in the 4th quarter against teams that would normally steal the game from us.  

 

The SF game was really given away, but the difference is our defense was bad ass and SF couldn't steal it.

 

Rivera still sucks as a head coach though.....no doubt about that.

 

[therealmjl]

It would take a pretty epic collapse for him to be fired at this point.

The entire team believes, and our defense won't allow that to happen.

Riverboat is here to stay, and I couldn't be happier.

[ickmule]

This is ridiculous. Some people are never happy. The dude isn't going anywhere and it's a huge waste of time talking about it. 2 years ago everyone wanted Harbaugh and was so pissed JR dissed him. Give it up for RR, he's doing a great job. The players have bought in to what he has been selling to them and are playing as hard as any team we have ever had. The reasons don't matter as long as the team is winning. The team is 11-5 in its last 16 games. What more do you fools want? We could be the Redskins.

of freaking course

[Happy Panther]

We have everything we need to make and win in the playoffs. Yes we have a few holes but they aren't as glaring as we thought they would be. O-line is hanging in there, secondary has been a surprise and our WRs can catch (most of the time).

 

No team can afford to wait around for every position to be perfect.

 

Playoffs or gone

[Happy Panther]

 

 

Honestly, he is not really doing anything better....

 

he certainly is. There are a lot of games this year and last that were lost due to coaching decisions. 

 

Since early this year he has shaped up.

[panthers55]

We are not going to collapse barring injury to Newton.  We are going to win at least 4 more games. At 10-6 he will stay and when we add a few more pieces next year we will be a perennial contender like we were under Fox. 

 

The question was whether we could win in October and November when it meant something. I think he has answered that.  Now the question is whether we can handle prosperity and stay hungry.  We will see over the next 3 or 4 games.

[WildCats]

I hope I'm wrong. But I think the team has been playing good lately because they wanted to save Rivera job. Personally I'm fine with that. I just hope when they know his job is secure they go slacking off again. I wanna win every season

[The Other Colbert]

He still needs to take this team to the playoffs in order to secure his job.
