Ron on the Hot Seat


Recommended Posts

Yeah I don’t buy this. I buy that Tep comes in here and everyone has to prove themselves but as long as we have a winning season and make the playoffs I’d say he’s pretty secure (and that looks likely).

If the team implodes from this point on, then very possible this is true. If they make the playoffs and actually make some noise, then all bets are off. I do think that if they don't make the Superbowl and win it within the next couple of years, then he will clean house.

From what I have seen so far this season, this is not a team that can make the SB and win it this year.

If Rivera is on the hot-seat then nearly every coach in this league needs to be. 

You are what your record is and right now the Panthers are 3-1. That's about as good as you can ask for in the NFL after 4 games. This isn't Alabama verses Cupcake U. You take wins how you get them and move on. 

Along as the Panthers keep winning this should be a moot point.

Generally put Rivera is mediocre and his philosophy dated.

This is a case example of talent (Luke, Cam) overcoming coaching deficiencies and philosophies. And sadly, Rivera's job is once more secured as long as those two continue being the future Hall of Famers they are.

Yeah just read it, and again, it doesn't surprise me and Jeremy has heard a lot of whispers well before any of the beat writers before, so, it's legit...  and again, Tepper was rumored to be one of the minority owners who wanted Tomlin ousted from Pitt last year, so if he wanted Tomlin gone, I imagine he has very little patience for Ron's passive, conservative, play (not) to lose approach.

Good to hear.  Only thing that scares me, as much as I've been ready to move on from him, is the complete turnover of the coaching staff with Cam and Luke just hitting their primes...  there is usually a pretty steep learning curve with new staffs, especially the type most of our fanbase desires...  then again, if you were gonna do it, may as well do it after this season if we don't win a Superbowl and get the process started ASAP.

    • He had a turnover on all three goals he was on the ice for. Plus he had that god awful delay of game penalty. Like legit his GS actually shows he was the cause of the loss and he was only on the ice for 12 minutes. You remove him from that game and the Canes win or at worst go to OT.  Let's put this in perspective, in 12 minutes he directly led to 3 goals against. In the 48 minutes without him on the ice it was an even-steven 2-2 game and that's disregarding that god awful delay of game penalty that led to goal number 4 of the 5 given up.      I don't see how anyone could say that he didn't directly lead to the loss.   
    • reality is the piling on of Frank Reich is just the standard huddle angle we take of putting all blame on someone after the fact.   as I was an OG Frank hater before it was cool to be......now the swing goes too far the other way and people will claim me is as a Frank defender.  Frank Reich was the definition of a .500 middle of the road NFL coach.  He technically was a winning coach and above .500 coming here but he is and was NFL average.  we were the biggest joke in a decade.....because they paired Frank Reich (a dude who was going to do what he does in the NFL) with a dude who couldn't do NFL basics and Frank was forced to play him.  That's not Frank being a loser.  That a bad org around Frank. 
    • Toronto is less physical than us, and they took them to 7  I really wish they would have won, because we match up better with them, but we have to deal with what we got  What worries me is Svech trying to take out Bob, that is desperation, that's what you do when you feel like there is no legit options left, it's what I feared, Bob is still in our core groups head, and they are over thinking, over passing Hopefully that changes tonight
