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.

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
