Steve Smith Reports No Changes Expected With Panthers Head Coaching Job

[bobsfoodbasics]

He says, according to his sources, Ron is safe for this year. 

Lets hope his sources are wrong.

About what I figured.  Stuck with Ron for another year.

[Paa Langfart]

He didn't mention Hurney though.  that might make sense - Tepper hires his own GM this year then evaluate Ron going forward from there.  

[Panthera onca]

His source is Ron.

No surprise to me.  Teller has said he believes in continuity so I didn’t expect him to blow it all up after one year.

Welp, here is to losing out. Gotta get RR out of there. 

[Pazhoosier89]

At the minimum Hurney should be gone after that farce of a GM search by JR. If Tepper does nothing.  Good riddance.

For this year...?

Remember, Pittsburgh has had 3 coaches in about 50 years....

However, it is significant that this is on the table--being discussed.  So much depends on  the last four games--Personally, I think RR has lost the locker room.  We shall see.

Not sure that I believe Smitty has a source w Tepper

[JoePanther]

Ron is not at fault for an aging defense and loss of coordinators.

Exactly...Tomlin and Cowher both had some bad seasons with questionable coaching and moves were rarely made.

Some of you want change for the sake of change, without regard for whether the change will be an improvement.

Ron has definitely lost the locker room. Guys don’t want to play for him anymore and it will be more apparent this afternoon. Personally I think everything is still on the table as far as his job. He’s gone if we lose out.

It will be. Losing eight games in a row should not be rewarded with continued employment. The next guy statistically has at least a 50-50 chance at being better, since we are a 50-50 team with Ron
