Head Coaches don’t grow on trees

I will be the first to point out Rivera can be frustrating, especially when it comes to personnel decisions. But to use the cliché expressions, “the grass is not always greener”, and head coaches don’t “grow on treees”.  Who would you actually replace him with if you had the chance, that would give us a better chance at  a super bowl?

I can’t really think of anyone without taking a huge risk on a novice, which isn’t warranted when we have a winning record.  Sure there may be better Xa and Os kind of guys, but it’s not an easy job to manage an NFL locker room and keep the team competing on a weekly basis.

Agreed......he is a good coach who is always open and honest about how the team is performing, and he handles the locker room extremely well. Today he said winning covers up a lot of the mistakes that were made in all three phases of the game and they did not have victory Monday. He knows we have many things we have to improve. At the end of the day he is a two time coach of the year and we are 3-1 to start the season. Anyone who claims that Rivera should be fired is.........insane. At the beginning of the year if you told me at a quarter way through the season we would start 3-1 after having almost all of your O line with backups playing, a TD 4 game suspension, missing your starting safety, and missing Olsen for almost a full 4 games.....I would say Rivera needs an extension.

It’s extremely frustrating when you see a coach making the same mistakes over and over. You would think that over time he could figure out how to eliminate or not make as many bone headed decisions.

Ron expects his players to perform at a high level, he shouldn’t expect anything less from himself.

Hopefully when the day comes, and it will, I hope Tepper wants an offensive philosophy from the top down.  Get a strong DC but make it about the offense.  That’s what wins championships now.  Richardson was always defense: Capers, Fox, Rivera.

It has been the entire existence of the franchise, it’s all we know.  We’re likely going to look back one day and wonder what Cam Newton’s career might have looked like under different leadership and philosophy.  The years of surrounding Cam with spare parts and pieces from around the league, or making the important O line an afterthought.

im not calling for his dismissal today because I don’t think that there is a better optoin available right now.  But when one is identified, we should go for it instead of resting on laurels.

There are solid head coaching candidates available every single year.

The notion that you can't fire the existing coach because there's nobody better is just ridiculous. That's the kind of philosophy that would have held on to Jeff Fisher instead of taking a chance on Sean McVay.

I guess I should have clarified.  Someone who's not already an NFL head coach?  Do you have a name?

Who do you have in mind?

look at sean mcveigh , he took the worst offense in the nfl to the best 

Sean McVeigh was a unique find.  Since the Rams were already pitiful, he was worth taking a risk.  Do you think we're there?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
