He really is. He is certainly taking an objective approach this time around.

GMs don't fire assistants. Coaches do.

This was Rivera's call.

No way Rivera did this willingly.

Olsen was not an extension, only added incentives (which was not met). 

[Toker Smurf]

I also said we need to score more touchdowns and not one offer for a GM position!

Honestly, I think the most likely scenario is that Cam finally started swinging his franchise QB nuts around. It's been clear for the longest that this offense runs better when Cam is calling plays at the LOS. That stall and timeout after our first play from scrimmage in the wild card was just inexcusable, bush league poo.

Rivera handles his staff. I'm glad he finally saw the light after multiple players have been complaining about the play calling on and off the field.

who’s to say he didn’t?

if the case is that he didn’t do it willingly, that could lead to internal tension between ron and marty.

Hurney has made some good moves since being brought back.  Hopefully this continues with the draft.

The Panthers had a good season and a good core, but the truth is 2 of our division rivals are still playing, and Tampa will be dangerous next year if there offense plays like they did at the end of the season and their defense gets better.

The NFC South is an incredibly tough division, and we need Hurney to make the right decisions (and the tough ones) to be in playoff contention again next year.

Extending Ron and letting Shula go is a step towards that.
