Does Rivera have a chance at staying another year?

If history repeats itself,  Rivera will be retained because JR won't want to pay him for not being here and they will replace the OC in an attempt to do something.  Then when that fails Rivera will be fired.  This is going to run the same course as the John Fox era.

No matter if its offense or defense, this playing not to lose is killing this team morale.  It appears that players and fans wants the Coaches to keep their foot on the pedal, but instead we play it safe and end up losing.  This conservative approach of Rivera ,especially during crunch time, is ripping the heart out of Panther nation.  He promised that he has learned from last season mistakes but he has'nt.  I am beginning to think that the team is performing in spite of Rivera and out of personal pride.

Just wanted to gauge everyones opinion on this. Surely Richardson/Gettleman will realize this is unacceptable. I know we gave Rivera a huge contract but keeping him around would assure another losing season.

 

You must have missed the pie chart.

You know all about his contract? That it's guaranteed?

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
