Am I the only one who thinks an 8-8 finish should cost Rivera his job?

[KillaCamNewton]

If we manage to beat Atlanta and the Bucs, especially when both of them need wins way more than we do, that tells me the perceived lack of talent on this roster is a myth, and that this team simply underachieved again after a playoff season. It also tells me that this team was more than capable of winning 11 or so games and being a playoff team, but as usual under Rivera, didnt play like it until the games no longer mattered, which is a true sign of the complacentcy sydrome this franchise has been dealing with since the Fox days. This year has been 2006/2009 all over again, hopefully JR finally learned his lesson.

I mean he went 34-13-1 the three years prior, won coach of the year twice, won the division three times in a row, and made a super bowl appearance a couple of months ago....so probably not.

Bud, before the SD win we were 4-8. He's still on this team. Shula is still on this team. 

 

Rivera is to be blame for, but not all. Shula needs to be fire. And, Gman didn't put Ron in a good position to start with. Did nothing at corners and DE. And it showed early in the season.

For as poor as we have looked, this actually a playoff caliber team in the NFC. This team is roughly 3 plays away from being 8-5 instead of 5-8.

Were a few plays from 10-3. The Falcons, Seahawks and first Saints game have been the only ones where it was clear that the other team was clearly better that day

And I don't like Ron playing the injury card but there's a legitimate argument to be made that we've had an unusual amount of injuries to key players this year and that has certainly affected our record.

No. You aren't the only one.

From coach of the year to fired would be an epic fail and we'd be the laughing stock of sports.

1. Why is winning out proof of talent on our roster but losing is proof of poor coaching?

2. Are  there really 15 coaches who could get this team to 10 wins with the injuries that it has had?

To me, Rivera's still in the top third of coaches.

And that, my friend, is because of COACHING.

Ron and his staff need to be given their walking papers.  They won't be, but its only putting off the inevitable for another year.

When we draft an actual difference maker or two (or three) , hire a new OC, and make a legit move in free agency this coming offseason, you will see that it makes all the difference in the world. Rivera will be a legit COTY candidate yet again. Rivera's history has proven that  that's the higher likelihood.

op is the only person on the entire site if not the entire panthers fanbase if not the entire country if not the entire planet who thinks rivera should be fired

[Pimpdaddy]

....if you get rid of Riv whos out there that is better...i think we can do better at OC tho
