With absolutely no evidence to the contrary, there's only one way I can ever picture Rivera.... stoic Ron.

You think Dean Smith, Bobby Cox, and Phil Jackson never got on their players either?

I will say that screaming and yelling after an ass whipping can have opposite of desired effect. You can't bury a team's confidence, but u can't coddle them either. It is delicate balance

I have always believed that hardest part of coaching is psychology, not Xs and Os.

Yeah, but Ron Ron hasn't demonstrated himself good at either.

 

The Panthers, have usually started the season slow.

They're bad on nationally telecast games, mostly.

He places certain players in his dog house, while allowing worse players he likes to continue playing.

Shows no faith in his QB or offense, when they've been the best unit of the team this year, and really the majority of his tenure.

Rivera, usually doesn't defend his players under National criticism  (Cam, Hardy)

 

That's the motivational part. And I'm sure I missed a few.

 

Now we know, on the X's and O'x, game management part; Rivera really lacks. We have a litany of things we can list regarding that component of his NFL coaching (clock management, usage of TO's; challenges; when to be aggressive; playing for FG's instead of TD's, etc.).

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL

      1 shot 1 goal tracker

      I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes.

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
