Calling 3 of 9 Ron our "best coach ever" says more about the failure of the Panthers as an organization than is does Rivera.

It also shows how hard it is to develop a consistent winner. Seems we are finally finding the processes to put in place to hopefully be one of those teams.

it is what it is

I think if we had a great GM like some orgs? Ron would still be the coach.   His teams were very flawed overall in terms of talent.  How weak certain spots got.    More so than Fox's IMO.

By objective measures, Rivera is our most successful coach.

Now with that said, Fox came waaaay closer to winning his Super Bowl opportunity whereas Rivera is arguably one of the big reasons they lost.

that was a weird SuperBowl.   Some really questionable stuff by refs in that one.   Different set of refs and it could of gone the other way.  You rarely are going to win when the refs start calling it for the other team.    When both teams are good. 

The Remmers stuff is pretty indefensible though.   But doing what we did got us to 17-1....so I could see why the obivous adjustment might be harder for them than us.  Especially, when we were getting the looks and some big plays were setting up for us down.   We just couldn't get it off.

He also came close to going to another SB in 2005, losing against Seattle.

Although it was 9 years long, this was his first job as coach. And I doubt he was given free rein here like in Washington.

i could understand him being on a leash for the first 2-3 years....but after that, it was all him. Unless he just couldn't be trusted to run the team after that then you have to wonder, why keep him at all?

Sorry, I just don't buy the whole 'first time coach' argument/excuse for him. You can either do the job or you can't.

There's no reason we should stick with any coach longer than 5 years if we haven't achieved success (meaning a ring) by then.

Most HCs who win a Superbowl are able to win it with in their first gig as a HC and within 5 (typically within 3) years of their first year as HC with a team. Only exception in the last 25+years to it taking longer than 5 years as HC with their team being Bill Cowher.

Hell, Richardson wanted to fire him before Hurney fell on the sword to save him.

And Belichick did it with his second team. Tom  Coughlin was Jaquars coach for 7 years and then went to the Giants. He won it his fourth year there. So there are certainly examples of coaches winning Super Bowls with their second team after failing to win it with their first. That is off the top of my head. There might be others.

Pete Carroll did it with team #3, and 4 years into that (his 8th in the NFL).  It really just depends on the situations they walk into. 

But, at some point the message does get stale.  Rivera said that when he took the Panthers job, he thought the limit of that timeline was about 10 years.  Almost on cue, he hit his limit.  Among his faults, one of them was NOT a lack of understanding that guys like Landry, Shula, Knoll, and Belichick are very much exceptions, and even their style/message seemed to get stale at points in their tenures.  Although they also adapted to one degree or another along the way.

There are a good bit more than i thought who did it with their 2nd or third team as HC, but still the standard is within 5 years with the team they won the SB with. 

I don't care how much i like or the team likes rhule, if we don't have it done within 5 years, we need to move on and we should have moved on from both fox and rivera after 5.

Marv Levy was another one but most people don't remember him being with the Chiefs.

Bill Cowher took 15 years to win a Super Bowl. He'd been to one prior to that, but he didn't win.

Granted, most teams aren't as patient as the Steelers.

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
