Rivera deserves to stay. Made lemonade from poo in 2 years in my opinion.

If that's the case then we have much bigger issues than the HC, but that's not, because the whole world can see we have a team with talented players on it.

Sounds awfully similar to the end of the 2011 season.

This team feels different for some reason.

I'm as tired as anyone of 7-9 and 8-8 seasons. We have had 10 so far.

Joe Person.. "Brandon Beane heavily in the mix for GM spot." Looks like the Rams just gained one more fan.

Good riddens get out of here

If we're letting what the players on a losing team want influence organizational decisions, we should probably just re-hire Hurney and save some time. And money. Don't forget money.

With half of them on IR two years in a row.

6-10, 7-9 ?

!SuperBowl!

Don't change a thing for me..

So, let me guess, we start out next season at 2-8, get eliminated from the playoffs, beat a couple of pathetic teams with their back-up QBs in, and finish the season 8-8.

But, 8-8 is an improvement over 7-9! So, Rivera stays another year.

I think we needed this.

The team needed an indentity, I feel we have one now, for good or for bad. We became a much stronger team and a team that plays for its coach. Deep down inside I honestly think the players know best and it will translate on the field next year and following years.

Im scratching my head at the manner in which we decide things here. Still think our OC was weakest link.

I'm ok with Rivera staying.... provided he comes out of the gates next year balls to the wall, knocks off the cutesy bullshit read-option crap, and gets his team prepared from day one. I know.. asking too much, right?

I'm not ok if we hire Beane. There is absolutely no reason for this guy to be the new GM. He has zero directly correlating experience, and no amount of "keep things family" will convince me or any other football fan that this isn't a yes-man hire. Quite simply, I don't hire my travel agent to be the pilot of the plane I'm about to take, just because he knows how to book a ticket, do I?


I wanted Ross, but if all these "sources" (loosely termed to be sure) say that what he is asking does not meet what JR is willing to give him, then Gettleman is definitely my second choice. The guy knows how to build winning football teams, and that is what we need for our guys. Anything less than those two, imo, is not only a slap in the face to the fans and supporters of ten plus years, but a huge sign that the organization does not deserve that support.

Smells like Mangini with the Browns. He won 4 games late when they were eliminated then stunk up the following year and got canned. SMH. Really wish am wrong here and Chud gets axed soon, cause today is making me

First reported by Patty Y that the Panther's might shake up the staff, but no Coordinators would be involved.

So what the hell are they going to shake up then? Mike Shula and his horrible mechanics?

He said that there was some personal issues that got in the way of communication on the offense's staff side of things. Expect it to be like position specific coaches that would be let go because of this issue.

[YoungPanthers89]

The players seem to love the decision, thats good enough for me.

FWIW most of the players were mad when Hurney got fired

Could be OL, RB, maybe even QB if that's the case.
