I have always considered Rivera to be a real good LB coach and a decent DC,just not sure he will be a good HC in the NFL, long term. He is making mistakes this year that he shouldn't and seems to have slipped back into the old Ron Rivera we knew,instead of the River Boat Ron he became, late last year.

If Ron is a decent DC....I'd like to know who the good ones are

He's a fantastic DC.

Rivera will be here this year and next. There are lots of reasons we are not winning but Rivera is not even close to the top. Right now Gettleman should be feeling more heat than Rivera right now for the debacle of an offseason which is the main reason we are in the bad shape we are in right now.

He should be, but JR doesn't care enough about winning to fire him. Rivera is going to be our coach for at least a few more years, get used to it.

Coaching isn't why we aren't winning.

Lack of talent in key areas is. Coach won't matter until that changes

Not sure why people think you can give a coach anyone and if they are good they should be able to win. Doesn't work that way in the NFL

Fwiw, they could be right. If this season continues to go downhill, that will be 3 out of 4 seasons with a losing record. Its not outside the realm of possibility that upper management decides to move on and bring in their own guy.

If upper management fires Rivera it won't help us be a winning franchise. Upper management is why we aren't winning.....past and present. Not coaching

Unless the Dolphins go on a loosing streak I don't see Joe Philbin getting canned. I do think those are some good coaches on the list, I would love Jeff Fisher and I do think Mike Smith is a good HC. I wouldn't mind Rex Ryan or Joe Philbin as a coordinator.

Jeff Fisher coaches dirty football. Not a fan even if it works

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
