Rivera wants to coach for "a winner"

[Mr. Scot]

In an interview with Adam Schefter, Ron Rivera said he'd prefer to go to a team that's "a good draft and a couple of free agents" away from being a consistent winner. He's not interested in joining any reclamation projects.

He doesn't say so specifically, but it doesn't sound like he believes the Panthers fit that description.

Are there teams that do fit this profile who are looking for a new head coach?

Cowboys, Falcons, Browns (good young players that could use a grown man like Ron)

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera going to the Falcons would certainly make things..  interesting around here.

Ah yes, Ronald looking to ride the coat tails of superior talent for 8-9 years while simultaneously mismanaging injuries to franchise players and consistently underachieving all while blaming the players (and their subsequent more serious injuries because of your ineptitude).

Giants have some solid young players too if Ron has a little more patience.

I’m sure his future employer will be thrilled to hear about all the opportunities they missed.  Honestly, the Falcons fit the bill on what he’s looking for.  Talented squad but very underachieving (sounds a lot like his time here).

He might enjoy playing the Panthers twice a year!

[Mr. Scot]

Maybe it's just me, but it's hard to listen to somebody say something like that and not hear "I don't really want to work that hard".

To be fair, that's not necessarily what he means but...

Sounds to me like a man that knows his worth. He can land the dream job in the big markets like Dallas or New York.

Like how Ron road the talent of Cam Newton in 2015 and completely screwed the pooch in the superbowl?

"I don't really know how to build a team, but I can coach a group of All Stars pretty well."

I get it and honestly I don't blame him really, but maybe it's not something you say publicly while looking to get hired by an organization.

Love how Denver did exactly what Atlanta did and we didn’t change one thing from the Arizona game. That’s why we also let the Seahawks come back in the divisional round.

Rivera is a reclamation project. The guy just screams "carry me"
