Ron Rivera "Honorable Mention Coach of the Year"


PantherNation123

Recommended Posts

Hilarious article on ESPN, where Rivera gets honorable mention for Coach of the Year, alongside Belichick, Carroll, Tomlin and Mike Zimmer.

I'm by no means an extreme Rivera hater, and I think Shula needs more blame than him... but to say honorable mention Coach of the Year with his outrageous coaching decisions is crazy to say the least... (punting on the 35 yard line when down to Saints, not going for it on 4th yesterday until Cam blew up, and absurdly dumb challenges, just to name a few).

    I may be wrong. Imagine that. But is it not true that every coach makes mistakes?

 

    And if every coach makes mistakes. Why is Rivera held to a higher standard?

 

    I guess Panther fans demand perfection. It is the only explanation I can see. 

 

    How about looking at from this perspective. After the first two years, Rivera has only missed the playoffs once. He took over a team that had won one game, and within two years has built a perennial playoff team.

 

    I don't see the big deal.

Are you related to Rivera? Are you on his pay roll?

 

You have to be this most delusional person on this forum.

Every coach makes mistakes.  great coaches don't keep making same mistakes.   

At some point in his career, he needs to figure out why we need to waste time outs so we don't get a delay of game.  or proper clock management in general.  how to keep the foot on the gas pedal.

I dont think you can count the 7-8-1 season as a great coaching season.  I get what youre saying, but his decision to stick with Shula is his biggest weakness.  Also, game management has never been his strong suit.  Is this reason to fire him?  IMO, only if we dont do well in the post season, our offense stays anemic, and he sticks by Shula.

he's not nearly as bad as some of you want to make him out to be. He is one of the most respected coaches in the league. I just wish he could fire members of his coaching staff if they aren't living up to their expectations. That's literally my only knock on him

If thats literally your only knock on him, then you have a very low bar for a head coach.   Again, I'm not an extreme Rivera hater, and I am fine with him as our head coach.  However, the conservative approach he takes until his job is on the line, has cost us or nearly cost us many games.  Sounds like you're a fan of punting on the 35 yard line when losing though, so tough to reason with you

The people handing out those awards mid season and the real ones end of season won't know a thing about his bumbles and silly poo he does we end up around 13-3/12-4ish he's gonna be in the middle of the discussion another year which I hope comes true.

    Was anything I said wrong? 

 

    So...because I stated facts that back Rivera. I am not only a lackey, but delusional? 

 

    Has it gotten to the point where facts are now inadmissible?

    I will give you Shula. But...Shula runs a Rivera Offense. Not sure what the answer is. Even if we somehow got rid of Shula. What kind of OC would Rivera hire? Better the devil you know.

 

    I would also like to add. We are winning. Is it really in Rivera's best interest to change OCs now?

Lol it's that moment when you realize people have no idea how bad a head coach Rivera really is. Just last game he was going to kick a field goal had Newton not flipped and he stopped Shula and actually good play calling to revert back into a shell with a 10 point lead.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
