17. Ron Rivera

Career Record: 32-31-1 (.508)

With The Panthers Since: 2011

Last Year’s Ranking: 17

 

Where did we come from? Are we alone in the universe? Is Ron Rivera a good head coach? Some questions are unanswerable. Rivera was as good as fired after getting off to a 1-3 start in 2013. Then he started riding the Riverboat, rallying his team to an 11-1 finish and first-round bye. Carolina lost at home in the Divisional Round, but Rivera’s walk on the wild side saved his job, and set high expectations for 2014. Of course, they weren’t realistic. Salary-cap issues left behind a depleted roster, while franchise player Greg Hardy played only one game before drawing an indefinite suspension. Cam Newton was forced to make do with a receiver corps led by stone-handed rookie Kelvin Benjaminand … Jerricho Cotchery. The result was another rocky start (3-8-1), and more questions about Rivera’s job security. Then something even more unlikely than 11-1 happened. The Panthers finished in a 4-0 flourish, stealing the division with a 7-8-1 record before winning a Wild Card game against the Cardinals. What have the Panthers’ back-to-back hot finishes taught us about Rivera’s coaching? Not a lot. Rivera’s offense remains unimaginative, while his defense foundered more than it excelled in 2014. Despite his “Riverboat” moniker, Rivera remains one of the league’s most vanilla shot callers. That’s fine if he can start putting together complete seasons. Until then, he’s a coach who’s gotten by on temporary guile and a laughable division.

Ron would be like, the best assistant head coach/defensive coordinator in the NFL.  But yea he's like the most mediocre head coach ever.  He's not bad, the guys play hard for him and the team typically comes out prepared, but he's not going to out coach anyone.

The guys do fight for him... But our offense sucks and shula is a large part of the problem. So, Ron gets that blame for continuing to employ him

I can't go back to having a horrible defense again either. I just can't.

17 Sounds about right... He's mediocre. And having 16 people in front of you and 15 people behind you is as mediocre as it gets

Hilarious listening to people bash someone for being "mediocre" when they are one if th 15 best in the world at what they do. The competition for head coaches is fierce and competitive. Yet people who can only dream at being just below avg at their jobs continue to take shots....priceless.

I didn't bash him for being mediocre. He just is. And you don't even know me so that reply was way out of line

    • I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense. 
    • I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back... 
    • Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
