Hypothetical: What will it take to get Rivera fired BEFORE the end of the season?

If he didn't get fired after letting the 2 and whatever Redskins come into BOA and give every RB a career fantasy day, then he won't be fired during the season.  Even if he knocked up Tepper's daughter, blocked the Tepper punt on the Panthers social media, and brought the ghost of Mike Shula back, Rivera is safe until Black Monday.

Buckle up and enjoy the free fall that is the Panthers 2nd half season tradition.

Let's just hope we get a good draft slot and have a competent new GM and HC that can knock this next draft out of the park.

why should he get a pass out of this mess?

and really, only the worst organizations fire coaches mid season and while we do suck as much as this thread, i hope we dont become the Browns, Buccs, Raiders, Redskins and other organizations who's owners are like 5 year old ADD kids hopped up on sugar juice with no patience ready to hit the reset button every time the video game doesnt go their way because its the easy thing to do while most of this board be like this dude

There is really no reason to fire him at the moment. We don't have someone in the wings that is going to be a viable option for interim to permanent head coach. We don't have any playoff spot to fight for. Just let him lose out and improve our draft position. He's building an even greater case for his dismissal with each game.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
