How did Ron fool people?

I swear outside Carolina and (few inside) think this man is a good HC. Is it because he won coach of the year twice? Cause he went to the Superbowl? Why do people still call him Riverboat?

Is it the price of being in a small market that people don't actually pay attention?

5 seasons finishing under .500. 5 seasons out of 8. No back to back winning seasons, still finishing under .500 this late into Ron career. So can any one tell me how he continues fooling them? Based on "reports", he's about to fool our new owner

Most old people are incredibly naive. Have you seen how many old people get scammed by those fake IRS scams? 

Most of Ron's defenders are old naive people who are afraid of change. Ron has basically pulled a scam over the entire NFL over the past 8 seasons.

I swear if tepper gives ron another year tepper will lose any goodwill he has had.. he will just be another JR 2.0 to most of us.

Much of it is that he's had Cam to carry him on his shoulders and there definitely are people that would rather attribute any success the team has had on Ron rather than Newton.  Those coach of the year awards should be sitting on Cam's trophy shelf.

Also, narrative.

Since Cam came into the league they never changed their pre/post draft narrative on Cam no matter what. So it's easy for them to be like "oh Rivera is winning(or has to deal) with THAT QB". Whereas the fans of the team actually know wtf is going on.

Riding Cam’s coattails for 8 years. Cam single handedly won him those two COYs and has carried this team kicking and screaming for at least the last 6 years. 

You mean the defense? For most of our sb run year the defense gave Cam excellent posistion every possession. How many sacks and turn overs did we have that year?

He caught lightning in a bottle in 2015 (then proceeded to get thoroughly out-coached and out-schemed in the SB) and everyone inside the Panthers' organization has been waiting for him to recapture that magic. It's obvious at this point that it's not gonna happen.

Even in '15 Mr Defense Rivera's D was giving up big time leads and letting teams come back.

Yep. We'd build a cushion and then go conservative on offense and start playing prevent D and try to hold on in a nail biter. It worked out that year, but Rivera's philosophies provide a very narrow margin of error.

      If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"

      I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

      Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
