So who runs the team if Ron is fired and I guarantee it will not be Norv. Norv would retire before taking over after his friend was fired. 

I'm not so sure.  I mean would he want the job next year?  I'm nearly certain he would not, but merely to round out the last 5 games of the season, you never know. He could defer to his son Scott, but I doubt Norv just quits.

I just can’t see a guy that came out of retirement to work with his friend take over after his friend is fired. Plus Norv is 67 years old I believe and doesn’t need money

Its already draft season in my head. I'm just hoping we don't go 3-2 to finish the season and end 8-8. I always root for the win, but it is pretty obvious we are cleaning house after the season. The biggest question is what happens to Cam and this will play itself out in spring.

I'm for the full rebuild now.   We've been trying to extend this window for a while now.  Unlike the Saints who have been successfully extending their window, their front office has steadily been back filling their roster with young talent.  What Marty and Ron (Gettleman to an extent) has tried to do and failed miserable at.  Once Brees does retire, they will still be a contender.  This front office has failed to build with Cam and Luke.

It let's the team know that a culture of losing has consequences.

Up until we retain Marty and that message goes in the toilet.

What does firing Ron today if the Panthers lose accomplish? Coaching isn’t the only issue...we have lots of players not performing up to their contracts. 

Let me explain it like this. Firing Rivera today would be the equivalent of drinking that powerful laxative the night before having a colonoscopy...you know sh!t is getting ready to hit the fan in the very near future.

[DeAngelo Beason]

I still think that David Tepper should offer Belichick a billion dollars to coach the Panthers.  No one can turn down that money.

Rivera and Hurney will be gone on Black Monday and the next GM/Coach will make the decision on resigning Cam, Bradberry,Shaq, etc.   Part of Tepper’s questioning will include whether to tear down or reload.  Despite the recent infatuation with college offenses, I still believe that the next coach comes from a defensive tree.

Yeah when’s the last time acosch got fired in December? I mean he’s got 5 more games, firing him now is not gonna happen even if we lose 31-0 today.

I'm over defensive minded HCs.  We've had one offensive minded HC in club history, George Seifert, and one crappy season got him fired...didn't even get through his initial contract.  While Beuerlein was at the helm for a couple of seasons it was nice to see 30+ points scored routinely.  A crappy rookie QB did Seifert in (Chris Weinke).

Seifert was a defensive coach too. He just happened to pick up a decent OC.

We'll crush Washington with CMC putting up 150+ yards from scrimmage probably.  Ron will roll up to the weekly presser in a cheeky t-shirt.

Yeah, if we lose to that dumpster fire of a franchise, you gotta go. Period. Now.

It was more than that, everybody hated Seifert for his attitude and his approach. He chose to cut Beuerlein for Weinke. That offensive coach you speak of got us to 31st in offense and probably like 60th in defense, it was so bad. Offensive coaches can be great but when defense wins championships, airing it out in 50-47 losses doesn’t do much for me.

I’m fairly confident we’re going to lose something like 24-12 (missed EP in there somewhere).
