And a little something from Ron himself... 

 

 

Hopefully, for their own sanity, the Washington Post won't be running their fact-checker/Pinocchio meter on this press conference.

Wish I was dumb enough to make that kind of money

kind of wondering who is not real smart here 

 

You think you have to be smart to be rich these days?

Have you ever taken a close look at Hollywood?

Those DC journalists aren’t gonna be as soft on him as the Charlotte ones were.

I found a picture of DC journalist after the first time Ron loses a game by going into the Rivera Shell.

That’s what a 100m QB get paid to do. To make average guys look better than they are. Omfg

Cam was finishing up his rookie contract in 2015.

OMFG!

This isn’t factual. Chud made Cam learn the verbiage and not be allowed to wear a play sheet on his wrist. Forced him to memorize and not rely on the play sheet. Auburn plays is just a big duh. Do what cam does well especially coming in one year of top college ball into the nfl and starting.
 

mick mixon is also an idiot so that’s not surprising.

Seems like Ron's ol' Carolina buddies have decided to burnish the polish on the ol' Rusty Riverboat by throwing mud on the Cam Speed Boat.

Panthers fan really can’t get over Rivera. The man has been a first class here in Carolina. He left professionally and Panthers’ fans still act like crybabies. Get over it. He’s a good HC and the Redskins will be better with him. We need to worry about the Panthers’ future, not a former coach. Pretty soon, Panthers fans will be talking shot a Rivera’s golden retriever Tahoe too.

Ron is a fine human being as far as I know, and having worked at a restaurant he and Stephanie frequented regularly, I can say that I had the opportunity to interact with him on a personal level removed from football, on other occasions having served him both on his 50th birthday and the day the Greg Hardy scandal broke. He did a lot for the community and in that sense he will be missed.

To me that is a separate matter from his coaching acumen, where he ultimately proved overly conservative, unimaginative and incapable of change or flexibility. His record of 3 winning seasons in 9 speaks for itself and especially when you consider that he had a generational talent at both QB and MLB, it's not hard to be of the opinion that he should have achieved more.

I wish him all the success in the world in DC when he isn't playing the Panthers, but I do not honestly believe that he will find it unless he is able to overcome the weaknesses in his coaching style that I mentioned. It is not necessary to conflate being a good person with being a good coach. One can admire the one and be critical of the other.

I think I get it. His ideas of winning is different than others. His idea of winning is the loyalty lottery. You be loyal to him and you get two or three days off a week (vet days) and don't ever have to worry about getting benched or losing your job. You stay, play, and then leave on your own terms.

That's winning if you're a player and want job security. He rewards people with that which he never got.

Sounds kind of like the guy that used to own this team.

I know this is somewhat tongue in cheek, but I wouldn't entirely dismiss the possibility that at some level, maybe even a subconscious one, there might be some truth to it. Having worked service industry jobs for years, I'm well aware that I'm inclined to be more generous and forgiving towards their work performance when serving me.

Sounds like he sent out the same Ron who gave his introductory presser in Charlotte.

[Real1zOnly]

Why do I feel like we made a mistake firing Ron?

 

I wanted him fired for years, now that he is gone I don't really see a better coaching option out there for us. Well what's done is done. Wish him luck and may the best team win when we face off.
