They get right into it, and Ron handles it in his typical classy way, if you want to listen.

I wish Rivera the best, preferably in the AFC.

And I'll tell you what, watching the excellence of the other 3 QBs in the NFC South over the last few weeks makes you realize winning the division back-to-back-to-back was something to be proud of.

I believe it was time to move on, but the next coach is taking on a challenge, not just with our roster.

Brees doesn't look like he is ready to submit to Father Time

Ryan and his weapons are still formidable

Jameis still makes mistakes, but he is becoming an offensive force with Evans and Godwin in Arians' system

I want to be a homer, but it is extremely hard to see us not being the clear favorite for the bottom of the NFC South next year (and maybe the next couple of years) unless Cam comes back healthy and in a Panthers uniform.

He pretty much low key called out most of the roster. He basically said that there was a handful of players giving their all and really doing good work specifically mentioning Luke, CMC, and DJ Moore but there just wasn't enough of those guys left healthy. Pretty much confirmed to me we made the right decision moving on. Sounds like he had lost the ears of the players if not their respect and was probably ready to move on himself.

He said he thinks the Cam decision will come down 100% to health. All he talked about was the foot. Hardly mentioned the shoulder at all other than saying Cam has said it felt great. He also said he wouldn't bet against Cam.

Definitely confirms he's coaching again. Looking for a team with a good young core and definitely sounds like he wants more input on the roster than what he had in Carolina, possibly even GM duties as well.

He picked Baltimore without hesitation to win the SB. He refused to pick an NFC team as SB representative, but specifically mentioned the Niners, Saints, and Packers.

He's right about the roster not giving their all, but that is his job as coach and so if he's feeling that, he's tacitly admitting his message wasn't getting through.  It was definitely time for both parties.

I wish him the best as well, but I’m really hoping he gets hired by an NFCS team...maybe the Falcons are ready to move on from Quinn...

Yeah...he’s playing politics at this point.  Let’s face it, Ron made terrible personnel decisions over the last 8 years.   He coached with a players mentality, not a coaches mentality.

Was that a callout of the players or the guy who supplied them? :thinking:

It's funny to see Rivera talking about wanting more power. Kinda feels like the guy who got fired from the mail room telling his next potential employer he deserves to be a regional manager.
