I still have my pitchfork on hand..

[mc52beast]

Every team deals with injuries, some more than others. Even when this team is mostly healthy Ron seems to find ways to lose. 
 

Some people have pitchforks, I have a shovel

Actually, scratch that.

 

Ron hasn't been mediocre.

 

Mediocre would be 4 winning seasons out of 9

 

He has had 3.

 

He is less than mediocre.

I remember the excuse for hiring him being that we wanted someone better than Fox.

Yeah.

About that.

you have to remember that the main injury, Cam Newton's, can't really be used as a scapegoat because it was essentially Ron and Hurney's fault for not building a decent o-line in their decade on this team.

Ron beat Cam with a baseball bat, he can't then say "look Cam got beat with a baseball bat, you can't fire me!"

I hate when people say he did a great job with injuries. That's such a sign of a mediocre coach. You have injuries every damn year and if you wait till your healthy to win you win one season out of 10.

Who are your top-3 picks to replace Riverboat as the Head Ball Coach?

But even though I absolutely want Ron gone. In the first half of the season he did admirable with all the injuries surrounding the team. Gonna give him credit there. 

Honestly this has been his scapegoat for several seasons now. When's the last time this team has gone through a full season without a significant injury that hinders the team?

 

Be that as it may, should Ron get the benefit of the doubt again this year? Due to the huge amount of injuries to key positions on the team?

Cam, Short, GVR, Turner (first part of the season), little, Irvin, Poe, etc. 

 

It's almost like fate is dealing him a bad hand just to get him out of here.. 

 

A positive out of this is that there have been players that have stepped up. Unfortunately I believe the injuries have taken their toll on this team. 

Hurney is fooling you again with the injuries. 
 

Ron has done a terrible job this season. Beating down on all the bad teams and lost to all the good teams. Ron and Hurney lost one single player this season to injury and that’s Cam Newton. You want to talk about a HC that has done a good job? That’s Mike Tomlin.   Steelers are 6-5 in a tougher division than the NFCS. They lost three starters: Big Ben, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown to injury/FA. Has started 3 different QBs this season: Ben, Rudolph and Hodges.

I think he deserves another season and I think it would be unwise to let him go on to another team and win there while we were left with: a QB controversy, a slew of injuries (particularly to the lines), and a rebuild of the entire defense in progress. In short, he would go and get to work something new out there, while we would have to rebuild amongst what was already a remodeling project.

If you keep Rivera, you're inviting us to have another 2010.

I guarantee that.

This is the worst he's looked since his first year and midnight's struck and his glass slipper turned back into a pumpkin.

You might be a fan of the guy and that's fine...but to cling onto the fading embers of hope of a fire long burned out is detrimental to this franchise.

If we let him go, we could also be looking at a new take on George Seifert.

From where I stand, this year's roster is worse than last year's, and that's not all on Hurney.

Since 2011, Ron will have had 3 winning seasons.

Where in any of this do you find an argument to keep him another year beyond the fact you seem to be a fan?

And as far as "could bes", we already know what we have in Ron.

A lesser Fox clone.

Besides, as someone else stated in another thread, it appears Ron himself has checked out of this season.

There's no shame in parting ways.

Maybe he'll learn from this and become a better coach elsewhere.

Rather than give reasons, which, honestly, I've done about a thousand times it seems on this board, let me just instead say, let's watch and see what happens. I don't think he or Hurney are going anywhere.

I mean, it could be Jason Garret and Dallas instead. Whew, that's a bad, bad set up.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

If Ron gets fired or is allowed to walk from the Panthers he's probably going to be successful on another team, at least for a while before he falls back onto his instincts.  It'll be like John Fox during his honeymoon phase in Denver.  Everybody in the fanbase will be sharply divided over whether it was a monstrous mistake to let him go.

To be fair, the first half of our season consisted mostly of beating bad teams.

I already knew Rivera could do that.

He has lost to two BAD teams the last three weeks  He cannot even beat bad teams now...
