I really hope he doesn't poach Norv or Scott Turner.  Our offense looked so good when Cam was healthy and with the Oline somewhat stable.  I can only imagine how much better that offense would be with a solid line, CMC, DJ Moore, and Cam.

poach?  if we try and dictate staff to a new coach we'll end up with someone no one else wants.

His DC already is.

you mean the end of his time here. 

the real comparable is McD.  Not Washington.   Ron didn't have the green light at the end to do whatever he wanted.

McDermott wasn't Rivera's first choice though. He only reached out to him because the Chargers denied permission to interview Steve Wilks.

yeah, he didn't have the green light to go out and bring in a good DC.    Both Fox and Rivera got handicapped at points in their careers by the FO.  Not saying it is wrong.  But when your seat is getting lukewarm you don't always get to go out and hire the help you would like.

gotta say, Riverboat was probably feeling pretty dang good as that presser opened.   Then was introduced w/ a good ole Happy Thanksgiving.  It was at that moment....Ron Rivera realized.  He was in dysfunctional DC

Rivera's seat wasn't even warm when he gave the DC job to Washington, though.

And there were other good candidates out there, guys who Rivera had connections with, but he picked Washington over anyone else.

so he's been handicapped since 2015?  or when did this start?  and are you just making this up or do you have some info you could pass on?  basically i don't believe you

I like how the organization botched having the jersey ready for him at the presser. We have a brand new coach? Hell Yeah! Let's drop the ball on something highly insignificant to show our resolve and responsibility.

I wouldn't trust that organization to make snow cones.

They apparently think Ron is the guy to whip them into shape.

I'll try to search tonight and get back to you.  I think there is some stuff out there by beat reporters that basically implied Ron got limits placed on his options at one point. 

I mean that actually is pretty standard for lots of coaches that have been around awhile.  They don't have a blank check to build a dream staff their entire tenure.   

think it is buried in twitter but I am pretty certain it addressed after the Washington experiment failed in 2018.  Ron was limited this season by Tepper.  Understandably too. 

But people are acting like Ron could of just brought in Del Rio this year.  Wasn't happening and the FO is why.

Ron's seat has been at various stages of warm several times in Carolina.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
