I think RR is a great coach and a better person.  He is capable of winning a championship.  Just think It was stale here.  He and the Panthers are better off IMO. 

Yeah...I could kinda tell players were beginning to quit on him. Especially in the Atlanta & Washington games.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

He ruined Cam, and thats bullshit

 

[countryboi]

its been a good run for him...but at some point your message stops working with a team. 

[Baskinridge]

I agree let's thank the man for all the success.

 

Thank you Cam Newton.

 

Done.

He got damn well payed... a reasonable man might possibly conclude that he was well OVERpaid for many, many years.

That's the only "tip" he gets from me (and I didn't have to pay it).

[rhyslloyd]

Hard pass.

While most are celebrating in the streets [as they should] I would just like to take a moment to tip my cap to the man..

You did give us some great times and are the winningest coach in Panther's history.. Cheers sir.. Hope you land on your feet somewhere.. 

Hear hear. As a fan I am glad Rivera is no longer our coach. As someone who had a chance to meet and interact with him multiple times away from football, I have nothing but respect for him as a man. I am sure he will land on his feet going foward. Thanks for some great memories coach.

No hard feeling here.  Love Ron, especially after seeing the amazon special.  He had a lot of good here and had some bad.

Feels like Andy Reid seperation with Pilly.  

Wish him luck.  And hopefully he can pick up a job in the AFC where we dont have to face him often.

Rivera is a nice guy but he completely mismanaged the most important player in franchise history, Cam Newton. Both from an injury perspective and a fundamental strategic perspective of building around the Quarterback instead of making him carry the entire load until late in his career.

[Mr. Scot]

I've got no hard feelings toward him.

I wish him the best, but this was the right move.

[XOBlackxJokerOX]

Dude had three winning seasons. Thanks for those. Good luck elsewhere.

I was pumped when the Panthers signed Rivera.  He has been great and terrible but will surely stick somewhere.  His time had run up here, much like Andy Reid's time ran out in Philly.  Sometimes a change of scenery is all that is needed.

[Castavar]

Fug him. He wasted away two generational players primes on both sides of the ball and consistently got outcoached. Not to mention he mismanaged and drove our star franchise QB into the ground because he couldn't gameplan to save his life. Good riddance.

When asked to comment on his termination Rivera replied curtly, "Missed Opportunities."  He then took off his transition lenses and faded into mist.
