@DNewtonespn: Ron Rivera sets the tone for #Panthers with messages on life lessons http://t.co/Fn95IWGvOW

"Rivera spends almost as much time talking life lessons as he does football, because he knows one ultimately has to do with the other.

'His quotes and all the little things, it’s more than I’ve ever been around,’ strong safety Roman Harper said."

“Ron’s very effective. Guys respond to him,’’ tight end Greg Olsen said. “That’s pretty evident with the way guys continue to battle through adversity. We’ve had our fair share over the years, and there’s never the question of the locker room coming undone. There’s never a conflict around here.

“If you look around the league, that’s not the norm.’’

 

And there were people here on this board claiming he had lost the locker room

all the players used to love Hurney as well - so do you let the inmates run the asylum ?

Well, Hurney gave free money to a lot of guys so he was buying love and respect. I think the respect for Rivera is more grassroots.

    • This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"
    • Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
