Say what you want about Rivera, he's a no-nonsense leader

I'm not sure how much respect he actually has in the locker room.  A coach who has never admitted fault for his teams repeatedly showing up undisciplined and unprepared but blaming it on "missed opportunities" and "execution" probably isn't too popular with players.  

I know from a couple personal conversations that the players love him and that he is a great coach

His pressers are just a waste of time and i doubt the players put stock in or even watch them.

You can question his game management but not his leadership.   The years we went to the playoffs at 7-8-1 is because Rivera held the team together.   We have has more success under Rivera than any coach.  If we fired Rivera today he would be the next coach hired.

He runs a good ship.   Those that don't think so.  Look at Fox, Seifert and even Capers.

I never heard this story about the hazing (via USA Today via Charlotte Observer's Tom Sorensen) : 

"During his first season as head coach of the Carolina Panthers, he saw a rookie tied up and repeatedly dipped into cold water. What would happen, Rivera wondered, if the ropes didn’t hold? Rivera ordered the rookie freed."

I always thought that I had a good feel for the type of person and coach that Rivera is,  and this reaffirms my opinion.  But,  on the flip side,  what in the hell was John Fox doing?  

Hazing: It is what it is, and it sucks.  I would have never thought that hazing to that degree would go on in this organization. But,  then again,  the boys-will-be-boys philosophy extended it's tentacles in uglier ways here,  so... 

Say what you will about Elon Musk, but with his new idea of having people come to Mars, no one is a more creative..... serial killer.

    • The right answer is neither and drafting Maye with the #1 Pick of the 2024 Draft lmfao we traded away the #1 in a QB LOADED DRAFT
    • I have no idea why you are so irrationally upset about the notion that going out and spending $150 million free agency dollars on two interior offensive linemen could be construed as a panic response after our #1 pick we traded a fortune for had one of the worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years. It is objectively what transpired. Dan Morgan as of right now is a mixed bag. Some really good some so so some not so good some bad some really bad. You take any rational criticism personally like you are related to him or something. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Anyways. The predicament Dan Morgan finds himself in for this year will define his future as GM. I sincerely hope he navigates it to perfection. But the circumstances are largely of his own creation. And not just in his stint as GM but going back to his time as assistant GM. Which conveniently people like yourself don't like to talk about. That is the reality of the situation. I like how you will carry water for Dan Morgan to the point of getting into random spats with people but make no mention of Bryce Young's glaring limitations and shortcomings as a starting QB yet go out of your way to put the onus of our struggles squarely on Canales. I mean I've been quite critical of Canales too but he sure isn't the only one to blame for our problems.
    • They weren't well thought out. We needed one, not both. 2 top center/guard candidates were going to be available in the 2nd. We would have been fine with JPJ or Frazier. Drafting either over XL or Brooks would have made perfect sense. Hell, drafting both would have made sense even if we had signed Lewis or Hunt. Instead we drafted a 1 year wonder project WR and a luxury RB that we didn't need since we had Hubbard. Draft IOL, pay tackles. Plenty of 2nd round guards and centers start immediately and play very well. Those 2 picks were not good then, now, no matter how much explaining anyone tries to do. Several of called it then.
