During a visit to Pro Football Talk on NBCSN from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said that he thought the team could get back to the Super Bowl.

During a visit to Pro Football Talk on NBCSN from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said that he thought the team could get back to the Super Bowl.

It seems the Panthers are interested in expanding the number of chances that Rivera will have to prove himself right.

Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers have started talks with Rivera about a contract extension. Rivera signed a three-year extension through 2017 with the team after the Panthers won the NFC South in the 2013 season and he’s led the team to two more division titles and an NFC title since signing that deal.

That extension bumped Rivera’s salary past $4 million per season and he’ll get another bump on that front if he and the team do come to an agreement. Rivera, who will bring back almost his entire staff from 2015, is 47-32-1 in five seasons with the Panthers and has led the team to victories in 19 of their last 20 regular season games.

wanted him fired in 2012. 

and again in 2013. 

and again in 2014.

please forgive me ron.

You would have a blast if you were a Browns fan!        Their front office listens to the fans by firing their head coach every year or so.

Ron completely changed the culture of this organization. I'm glad we gave him time to see his plan develop. Too many NFL teams give up on their coaches way too fast. I hope Rivera is here for a very long time. He is a great coach and a better person than everyone respects greatly. We are fortunate to have him

 

 

*edit: and he has become one of the best coaches in the NFL without being a cheater or being dirty like so many of the "great" coaches in the NFL

Best story in the book is the redemption story. He pulled himself, and his career, up out of the ashes when most of us were writing him off and some classless jackasses were yelling it in his face. 

The fans gave up on him, treated him like trash, and he somehow turned it around, made a lousy NFC South-standard team into something respectable, and has been a class act the whole time.

Yeah, we owe him a better contract, and we all ought to chip in an extra $200 apiece as a bonus.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
