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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
