The 2 worst teams in the league have former Panther coordinators as their coaches

Sean Payton and Steve Wilks are high on the list of next coach to be fired according to Vegas. The only other Rivera coordinator to get a job was Chud and we saw how that worked out in Cleveland.

Can we draw any conclusions about Ron Rivera from this or do you think this is just a coincidence?

Sean Payton is the head coach for New Orleans and has won a super bowl. 

 

Sean McDermott is the head coach for Buffalo.

I can see why Steve Wilks could be on the hot seat if his team continues to play poorly, but did the article say why Sean Payton is on the list? If the Saints beat Atlanta this week they could possibly be in first place (if Tampa loses) heading into game 4.

Or, did you accidentally type Payton instead of McDermott?

this is not unheard of good coordinator dont always make great head coaches, look at the Bill Belichick and his coordinators.

Good point. Wade Phillips is one of the best DEFENSIVE coordinators in the NFL and has been for years. No knowledgeable football fan will dispute that. But, his head coaching resume has been mediocre/average at best.

This may not be a popular opinion, but this is confirmation for me that the real brains and motivation behind our defense is Rivera. I believe he let's his DCs add their own flavor, but our defense succeeds and fails on Rivera's command.

It's Rivera's team. And the fact that three former coordinators are struggling to put together even a mediocre team is credit to Rivera's genius. Don't get me wrong, I know he makes stupid decisions in time management and which players to start on a given Sunday. I know he struggles to get his players motivated for the start of the season and after bye weeks at times. But I daresay he's the best coach we've had in our 24 seasons as a franchise.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
