@Mr. Scot - How long until you start preparing your Head Coach Candidate write-ups?

Honestly, if we have a losing season, I think Ron should be canned. Our team is so inconsistent, one season, a power house on offense, the next a flop. Another season a jaggernaut on defense, the next a flop. That is a sign of someone who does not know what he is doing. There is no way both units should keep flactuating like that.

 

Besides, one winning season out of four is mediocre.

Ron Rivera is still owed north of 15 million dollars guaranteed.

He ain't going nowhere.

 

Dom Capers was fired two years into a ten year extension.

 

If the team is enough of a mess by season's end, I believe Rivera will be fired.

 

I don't know that it's to that level yet, but with each passing week I see more potential of it getting there.

I don't think a losing season is enough.

 

But an embarrassment of a season might be.

A losing season should be enough. Having just one winning season out of four is more than enough to tell us what he is all about. Any coach can give a littany of reasons why they couldn't win on the season. It's up to the owner to accept that level of mediocrity or not. I know I wouldn't.

we're certainly headed for embarrassment! sadly Cam could walk and honestly he should weigh the coaching direction in his decision. In fact, coaching, protection, contract, and how the front office addresses the needs that will solidify the team.

all i know is NO MIKE SMITH!

 

Jerry Richardson has always had a preference for 'growing your own star' versus hiring someone else's.  I think the bad experience with George Seifert probably reinforced that idea.

 

My worry though: He also has a preference for defensive coaches, and I think the best candidate this coming season is probably an offensive coach.

 

A lot depends on how much leeway he'd give Gettleman (Steve Smith's release would indicate a lot).  The success Gettleman most recently was part of was with an offensive coach (Coughlin).

Honestly, I could be talked into it myself just based on what I've seen already.

 

I think it'd take something more to convince Jerry Richardson though.

Record notwithstanding, I'm embarrassed by this season.

 

Full disclosure though, I wasn't the world's biggest advocate of keeping Rivera before last season.

 

I feared last season might be an aberration but hoped it wasn't.  Right now my fears look smarter than my hopes.

Best to look for possible OC options...   since I fully believe that Rivera's job will be saved for another year when he tosses Shula out.....and while I know he probably likes Shula a lot, but  if it comes down to him or Shula......

true... in reference to Gettleman, him making some form of decision about RR "assuming" the season continues as is will certainly tell us much about who he really is. at the very least, he could fire Shula in the this season "assuming" we continue as is. smh... there is a thin line between unique intelligence and ridiculous. Gettleman is bordering both. RR has made it clear just based on his staff and the power allowed to them.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
