Just watching the video of Ron discussing Stephen Hill and other topics.

What stood out to me in the interview was talking about the Preseason game with New England.  Missing opportunities was such a key element and he was saying those were correctable mistakes.   But what makes Rivera stand out more than any other coach and what I believe makes this team great.  Was the statement that it falls on the Coaches to put the players in the right spot to succeed.  NEVER throws a player under the bus and puts part of the problem on the coaches.  This feeds into the team atmosphere that we have in Carolina.  It is what makes the locker room one of the best in the business.  Two great players  Peanut Tillman and Jared Allen both confirm this. 

It took a couple of years but Rivera, the two time Coach of the year, has made Carolina a place players want to come.

If he were ever to be fired.  He would be scooped up so fast our heads would spin.

I am glad he is OUR Head Coach.

Just think, some of us wanted (me included) Jim Harbaugh. If that had happened, we would already have another coach.I know, who knows, different timelines...

But I also was not disappointed when we got Rivera either. So it has worked out for everyone.

I remember the conversations that if we hired Harbaugh then Luck would leave Stanford and join Jim in Carolina.

LUCK ily for us.  He went to San Fran and they Got the sleeper of the Draft Colin Kaepernick.

I thought Rivera should have had a chance after Chicago went to the Super Bowl.  When he went to San Diego and turned their defense around I knew he was right up there with Harbaugh, for me at least.

I am glad Hurney signed him.

And to think, sooooo many people were calling for his head.  J-Rich knew what he had, and he made sure to put Getty in a position to discover that Ron "Chico" Rivera was the best guy for the job as well. Patience and belief were the keys, the proper way to build upon a capstone of raw talent, as necessary as water to seeds in a garden.

True story I started a Madden Franchise John Fox's last year as head coach here. The next year the team randomly chose Ron Rivera as head coach. With me leading as a tall athletic quarterback needless to say the Panthers got a lot of winning done. I'm taking 0% of the credit for the Panthers success of course I just find it coincidental.

Maybe Hurney saw your team and the rest is history. 

Thanks for all you have done for our wonderful Panthers.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
