So mediocre, unlike your Bills.

Cam has to demand a trade. Run, Cam, Run!

People reacticing negativity are being fuging stupid. 

If owners are buying this team for 2 billion +, do you really think they will have an issue buying out Rivera’s peanut contract. 

 

This is was the only move to make.

Yep all those back to back winning seasons and consistency is amazing.  Plus that much improved offense.  Yep your right.  Sorry.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot the 7-9 division winning season.  Impressive.  

You mean 7-8-1 division winning season. Ironic that one year this wins the division, but this year 11 wins only gets you second place.

Impressive is your lack of knowledge.

Not sure why they would do this unless new ownership is included in this decision.   This is another reason to believe a deal may already be done. 

The new ownership is probably a big part of the reason its happening.  Either they are already in place, and tacitly approve, or the current managements wants to ensure that Ron is taken care of if the new management decides to move on.  Or some combination thereof.  

This probably explains the Ron is going to leave rumors as well.  Might be a negotiating tactic on Ron's part.

I like it.

The only thing I dont like about him is his loyalty to Shula

 

Guy is the HC of the team that was 1 win from winning the NFC South 4 out of the last 5 seasons

Welp we'll be under .500 next year

........which means that dumbass Shula isn't going anywhere

Not necessarily - I have hope that the new owner will force both Hurney and Shula out of Carolina.

Who do you recommend as a replacement?  I'm not sure if your aware of RR's value.  He would be welcomed practically anywhere he was hired.  Who's been a better coach in the history of the franchise?

No one is saying that he is awful.  But, we know what we are going to get with RR.  Extremely conservative game plans.  Unwillingness to consistently adjust in game as needed.    Too scared to take any chances like Sean Payton who attempted and  recovered an onside kick during the super bowl.  Yeah, just imagine RR trying that one LOL.  Wasting timeouts.  Running down the clock to halftime even if we have timeouts to burn.  Prevent defense.  Even prevent offense.  He is also, unwilling to get rid of assistant coaches who are holding back our offense.  So yeah he is ok, but not good enough because he refuses to adjust and hasn't improved in his time here.  We can and will win with him, but not consistently.  However, the main issue is that I don't believe that we can ever win a Super Bowl with him.  I hope that I am wrong because I really want to win it this year.  I suppose anything is possible.  It just feels that we win games inspite of our coaching staff and not because of them.  There is better coaches out there.  There has to be.  Yes, I agree that he is the best coach in the short history of the Panthers, but that doesn't mean that we can't find a better coach to get us to the next level, which is winning the Super Bowl.

Sucks the new owner/GM(?) won’t have a say in Rivera’s extension. 

One last gasp of this mediocre era in Panthers history I suppose.

This line is used so much here and it’s so pathetic. It just proves how so many of you have grown to accept mediocrity 

Exactly.  I mean would this absolutely amazing level of "SUCCESS" be accepted in New England, NY Giants or Pitt?  Would RR still have a job there?  I think we all know the answer.  So sad that our expectations are so much less than those teams.  There is a reason they all have multiple Super Bowl wins and we are still looking for our first.

He's already said he's selling the team and left day to day operations and he's still making decisions like this. The next ownership should be finding a GM and let him build the team.
