How much does being a "player's coach" matter?

Panther players have generally taken an "it's on us" stance when asked about the failures of the 2016 season.

Coaches...wellll, they've tended to agree (especially Rivera).

Yet even so, Rivera, McDermott and even Shula have commonly been supported by the players who have spoken out.

It is, however, worth remembering that back in 2001, players were defending George Seifert when fans were calling for him to be fired.

So the question is this: How much weight do you give the opinions that players express publicly in the evaluation of the coaching staff?

"I take them at their word" or "Well, what else would they say"?

I'll be frank, a lot of times it IS on the players. As frustrating as things have been this season there's been a lot of situations where the right playcall was poorly executed. Fans blame coaches for that problem even though they literally can't force a player to do their job right on every snap.

Valid point.

The hard part is determining when a guy plays poorly vs when he's poorly coached.

Even with Rivera?

Even with him.  Communication is key in everything.  A former player who has won as a player and coach at the highest level has quite a unique insight and ability to know how to move men.  The two others I think of are strategy and team management.  All in that order.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
