But so did 6 losing seasons out of 9.

Ron's Panthers Legacy:  NOT changing a damn thing going into the SB after having been embarrassed by the Falcons for the Panthers only loss.  It was evident early on the Panthers were in trouble and yet there were no adjustments to protect Cam.  Broncos essentially took the Falcons template and beat a better team.

What added insult to injury:  The first game of the next season where Ron still hadn't come up with a way to protect his franchise QB from being repeatedly used for target practice by the Broncos defense.

Some coaches have the ability to lift their team to a level above the sum of its parts.  Ron proved, with a record of 3 winning seasons in 9 years, he isn't one of those coaches.

Didn’t learned that he should’ve played Heinicke not Haskins vs us last year. 

I think that was the only time Ron ever played 4D chess in his head coaching career, and Rhule for it.

He says a bunch of things. He has rarely changed though.

lol...not our problem  now. That article was  about a vet he cut.  Of course.....he has  no real  connection/history with the vets in Washington. Time will tell. But I do think it  is interesting  that he said  it.

I do think that Ron needed a good GM. Obviously he did  not have  that here.  The fact that he brought Hurney to Washington  should  be very concerning  to  the no  names.

Good on him to be realistic, realize things he should/could have done differently, and move forward making adjustments and trying to be better. Maybe sometimes a change of scenery is needed to help get that evolution started. 

I always liked Ron as a man and leader in the locker room. Cheers to him.

Ron is and was a great defensive mind.  Great human being as was and is his family by all accounts.  I appreciate their help in animal welfare greatly.

All that said, it was time for Ron to go in Carolina 3 years prior to his termination and I said it then.  Whatever the reason he couldn't get it done here regardless of the talent placed before him.  That is all that matters in professional football.

Personally think he has his team on the way up.  Ron is a good coach.  2015 happened so he deserves credit.

2015 happened because we had the most physically talented player in the league in his prime combined with an elite defense. It had little to do with Ron and his coaching ability or lack thereof.  

Hell he is probably the reason we lost that super bowl by not allowing shula to add any new wrinkles to the offense and not making any adjustments during the game.

Kinda the chicken and the Egg tbh. Hurney and Rivera just fit each other. I'm just glad we took a totally different approach moving forward.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
