I prefer Rivera by a lot.  

Which is more of an indictment of Fox. 

 

These other guys could have been our coach too. Woof.

Rivera was one of four defensive coordinators to be interviewed by general manager Marty Hurney and team president Danny Morrison last week. The others -- Perry Fewell of the New York Giants, San Francisco's Greg Manusky and Rob Ryan of Cleveland -- were not asked in for second interviews.

Fox 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown by botched kickoff,... no back to back playoffs, last playoff blowout blamed on quarterback but Arizona spoke of failures for us to adjust on offense and defense. Kept it vanilla.

Ron 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown because of failure to adjust to opposing teams defense. 

That's tough,... good enough to motivate team to playoffs occasionally,... but screws the pooch and goes Marty Ball when it matters?

Elway hit the button because Fox couldn't get there with a top 5 HoF quarterback on his last season or 2 and star defense,..

Rivera,.... hummm we have no Elway at the helm,... what if Elway was here, would Rivera be?

Right now I've got no love for either.

Fox was stale. Rivera scared. Both results in lack of success.

I think to a large degree they are indentical. 

Rivera just has a Riverboat switch which takes a painful amount of time to hit.  Ron also is willing to embrace things Fox wouldn’t IMO.  

But their game management is nearly indentical until Riverboat is forced to come out

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By strato · Posted

      considering [Dave] Canales enters Year 3 working for an impulsive owner. There’s not much room to slide backwards from an 8-9 season and 13-21 overall record. It doesn’t help that his primary job has been the development of quarterback Bryce Young, and the progress there has been inconsistent. Canales was supposed to turn the former top pick into a franchise quarterback. If that doesn’t happen by next January, the Panthers could be looking for both a new coach and quarterback." —————- The format of that doesn’t display on my iPad I had to paste it as plain text to see it so I am leaving it here to refer to… I am gonna disagree with a lot of that.  First reference is Tepper. That interview posted here a few days back gave me the impression that he is really happy with his FO. And Canales. Seat isn’t even warm as of right now. IMO.  The assertion that Canales is supposed to turn Young into a franchise QB is something I have never bought. First, how could anyone look at 2023Bryce and see a can’t miss Franchise player?  He was for sure a could miss.  I am not sure it was fix Bryce or you are both gone. Maybe that will happen The longer it drags on, I think maybe the more likely a total house cleaning could be an outcome. I mean it is only year 3 of Canales coming up. But as a couple of people like to point out, he has shown other concerning flaws that might damage his stock.  As far as the hot seat, mid season with 2-3 wins I would imagine yeah it would be pretty warm. I think a small regression to say 7 or maybe even 6 wins would be tolerated but the seat is warm for 2027. Depends on the circumstances.
