Is Ron Rivera Job 100% Safe?

[Cnow81]

After having one of the most successful seasons in recent history is Ron Rivera's job 100% safe now no matter what happens for the rest of the season?

Playoffs or bust.

[KillerKat]

not if we lose out

[MadHatter]

He absolutely is safe now.

[FearTheCats]

Not if we somehow miss the playoffs. Otherwise he's safe.

Why would he be fired ??

[toldozer]

Were 10-4, a legit shot at the two seed and a first round bye. Is this really the time for this thread. Geez

[Chaos]

Being 10-4 is great.  Being 10-4 with two to play and missing the playoffs would be gut wrenching.  Someone would have to pay for that level of let-down to this fan base.

Were 10-4, a legit shot at the two seed and a first round bye. Is this really the time for this thread. Geez

 

I told you.  There is a contingent on here that is not happy without some sort of negative thread and discussion.  Sad really.

[chknwing]

since he has another year on his contract anyways, I'd say hes safe

[twylyght]

Is he not in the discussion for coach of the year? Why would we fire him?

[tondi]

If he at least splits these last two games he is safe. If we lose both he may be in jeopardy. Winning eight in a row is great but losing three of the last four and missing the playoffs might not be something he can weather.

Lovie Smith got fired after going 10-6.

 

That said, Rivera's job is safe until next year.

[AceBoogie]

It's funny before the season we asked ourselves what would happen if we went 10-6 and missed the playoffs. Well that's exactly what would happen if we lose the next two.

The Georgia natives on the team will love being able to clinch the division in ATL. ATL would face a difficult decision, lay down and let us win the division or try to gift wrap it for the saints who they hate more than us.

All starts with the Saints. They're trying to give the division to us and we have to take it.

Ron needs to make the playoffs to keep his job. I believed we could have gone 9-7 winning games here and there and he would have been safe, but he raised the bar for himself. This close to not only making the playoffs, but winning the division. He has to get it done
