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.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
