Ron "learning from his mistakes" in Carolina

[Shocker]

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Would have been nice if he learned from them while he was here. 

[Ready 2 Win]

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.

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.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I wonder if he will learn from his other mistakes? Like I don't know, not surrounding a FRANCHISE QB with talent. Or the ever so popular mistake of NOT adjusting to a team at halftime or even  having another plan to adjust to in case first plan doesn't work.

[Happy Panther]

I have no idea how the FT will do. Apparently they are in the running to win the NFCE. But watch out for guys on their second go around in life.

Sometimes, there just aren't any words.
