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.

Yea he deserves to be paid like a top coach. He's great for us. He'll never be mistaken for a great strategist, but he's a great leader and motivator of men.

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.

I love coach and his stoicism. This man is made of forged steel. Never let the sight of the pitchforks chance who he is and how he coached. Once he turned Riverboat, he thrusted himself up in the top 3 coaches in the NFL. Well deserved coach, well deserved.

ron turned things around over here

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

Yeah I'll never forget screaming at Ron from like 5 yards away when he was walking back to the tunnel after losing to to Arizona in 2013, saying "you're fugging done Ron!". I'd like to take credit for his record since that game. 

Stop commenting in my threads.  

[stirs]

Ron should give a percentage to Gman

[teeray]

Goid for him, and well deserved

[Khyber53]

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.
