Who still wants Rivera fired...

[frash.exe]

Still don't know how to feel about rivera, the minute you've seen enough and proclaim he doesn't have it, the light bulb in his head goes on and he starts making the right decisions, and the team starts playing better.

In any case I think the continuous playoff experience is good for our players and coaches. If the Panthers win this next game, I'll consider this progress over last season.

The team just now got healthy. They have been resilant. Everyone thinks the easy answer is fire the coach. This is not Madden. I still don't want to keep Shula though.

 

Tell, Bruce Arians that!

 

He's had even more to deal with than Rivera, and with much less talent.

Yeah, Bruce has dealt with a lot of injuries also but the post was not asking about the Cardinals coach it was specifically adressing the Panthers coach.

Not I just ships

2011: Started 2-8, finished 4-2 to make season 6-10

2012: Started 2-8, finished 5-1 to end season at 7-9

2013: Started 0-2 and rumors about him being fired if he lost to the Giants began, went 12-2 and won division.

2014: Started 3-8-1, including 6 blow-outs, finished 4-0 and won a terrible division.

 

I'm not advocating it, but this is Rivera's yearly sctick and I'm getting tired of it. Obviously, him being let go isn't going to happen, but another year and I hope that is it (if this happens again).

 

Shula needs to go, no matter what though.

Special teams coach can GTFO.

[rhyslloyd]

I do.

Now isn't really the time for this discussion. I love Rivera as a defensive mind but he has not yet endeared himself to me with competent coaching. But looking around the league which coaches truly are safe?

 

Tomlin? Belichick? Carroll? I can't think of many. 

 

IF we can get a competent game manager and some solid offense I'm fine with Rivera.
