We get a "cant miss" opportunity with Gruden or Cowher wanting to coach us then ofcourse we should go that route But with us dominating the Falcons and winning by double digits, AND if we run the table and go 7-9, AND Cam continues playing lights out. I say we should stay the course and not risk messing this up. Obviously it seems as though the players are playing lights out and havent given up on Rivera.

I know I will get bashed because I have gone back and forth on the Rivera issue on here, and I understand if i get called a flip flopper. Again, let me be perfectly clear. ONLY if we go 7-9 I say give him one more season with a GM worth a damn. Again, 6-10? Fired. 5-11? Fired, 7-9? Give him one more year.

If he can somehow pull off 7-9 but Chud and McDermott can go.

i will be more upset at chud still be around than any of the other coaching staff.

D hasn't been that bad McDermott is pretty cool with me. Chud might be harmful to Cam's development.

Rivera, do not want.
Meaningless late season wins, do not want.

You see this is where things get ultra confusing.. If Cam and our offense continues to look this good the rest of the season, do we still fire Chud? I think Mcdermott should go. Yes our D may have sexy stats with sacks and tackles but we still made Brady Quinn player of the week.

Ron will be back.............prepare oneself.

i can remember when people were saying early season losses were meaningless.

No matter what Rivera should be fired. He's already proven in my books he's not HC material... at least not for the Panthers.

[PhillyB]

it'll be entirely up to the new GM, so anything outside of that relationship is baseless conjecture

And to an extent I agree, however is there really any other slam dunk candidates out there. Chip Kelly is high risk/high reward. I would definately fire him for a Gruden or Cowher. But do we really roll the dice on another hot coordinator? Again, im not really a huge fan of Rivera but running the table and going 7-9 atleast warrants re consideration, especially after beating the Falcons.

People have the shortest memories around here.

[CardiacCats]

I can live with Rivera but BOTH coordinators need to go next year. Get someone in who will run a damn pro style offense and McD was just trying to ruin it today

New GM.

See ya Ron, best wishes.
