Per Ian Rappoport tweet.  I'm on mobile and can't figure how to embed tweet.  

@RapSheet: During a tumultuous time, the #Panthers seek stability. Sources say they intend to extend coach Ron Rivera's contract and keep their football brain trust together. Story: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000897051/article/panthers-search-for-stability-to-start-with-extending-ron-rivera

Said they want stability during this time.and are going to extend his contract.

 

Many in the building also want to extend Hurney but they have to follow Rooney rule first...............

I personally believe he’s one of the best coaches in the NFL and the best coach we’ve ever had. Excited for this news!

Yes. If he could improve on time management and having more killer instinct, he'd be great.  But he is still a good coach.

Rivera's extension is a no-brainer. He'd be near impossible to replace and for all the "sky is falling" folks, he's still a coach that wins games fairly consistently. His teams don't quit on him and he leads them to the playoffs regularly. 

The other options for coach out there: errr, ummm, there's a reason they are out there and available.

On Marty Hurney: I think the Rooney Rule will require them to interview multiple candidates, particularly minority ones, before any kind of contract could be offered for an extension. And that is a good thing. I don't have a problem with Hurney staying and I think he's done a good job this season, but they really do need to kick the tires on some other possibilities out there -- there may be a hidden gem. The problem is that it may be training camp or the beginning of the season before the new ownership has everything firmed up enough to make a sound and logical decision on who to hire as GM.

Ugh, not happy about Rivera extension, but it could be worse.  The Hurney talk seems like just speculation. And wouldn’t signing Hurney be completely an owner decision? Is that acting president of operations or whatever her title is gonna do that with the sale impending?  Wouldn’t the team be more appealing to buyers if they have the option of hiring their own GM? And even if the extension does happen, we could at least hold onto hope the new owner could just immediately tear up that extension and hire someone capable.

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
