Who’s the best head coach in Carolina Panthers history?

[Carl Spackler]

John Fox had Peppers, 89, Gross, Dan Morgan, Beason, Mike Rucker, Kris Jenkins, TD, a steady kicker, an All-Pro punter, two Pro Bowl RBs and dude missed the playoffs 6 out of 9 years

You say that like he had them all 9 years together

Pep for all 9
Gross for 8 of 9
89 for all 9 (sans leg injury)
Beason or Morgan for all 9
Ruck for 7 of 9
Kasay for 8 of 9
Davis or DeAngelo for 8 of 9

Fox's teams had more late game heroics, and that I liked. Rivera's teams held on for dear life and still won, which was frustrating. I'll go with Fox

Rivera had Cam and did not put together 2 winning seasons.  Fox would have dominated with Cam.

I feel like Fox and Rivera were both kind of stubborn. Fox’s playoff runs were awesome. 
 

Rivera mismanaging Cam I think would be his biggest blunder. Polian was also way better than Hurney.

I didn't have a problem with Capers and actually liked him more than Fox and Rivera. That's probably because I was too young to analyze coaching any deeper than face value. Both Fox and Rivera can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. They are two peas in a pod.

Fox wouldn’t have drafted Cam. He’d have taken Dareus.

I bet Fox would rather go 0-16 his way and get fired than start a rookie Cam Newton in 2011.  Maybe I'm getting my events mixed up here but iirc he brought in Brian St. Pierre and started him on like a week's prep against the Ravens to give Hurney the finger over drafting Clausen against his wishes.

According to the Huddle, the best Panthers coach is the next coach lol. Speaks volume of how sucky our previous coaches have been. I will admit that our coaches (Fox/Rivera) have at least taken us to the Super Bowl, consistency was the problem. If Rhule doesn't take us to a Super Bowl, he sucks more than Fox and Rivera.

I'd give it to Rivera over Fox by a hair tbh.  His Super Bowl loss was way worse and he only took us to one conference title game but getting to go to the playoffs three years in a row including the monster run in 2015 was such a breath of fresh air. 

But yeah in general they're the exact same style of coach with Rivera being modestly more flexible.  Which isn't saying much admittedly.

The only time Rhule is taking anyone to a super bowl is if he buys a group ticket package.

Splitting hairs. 

But I have Ron on top just because I think he was the best human of the lot.    It’s probably a tie in reality of Fox and Rivera.  Then Capers.  Rhule and Seifert presently battling over pecking order.  Not fair to really even mention Rhule though

I agree with most of this. I think Rhule is on par with a Hue Jackson type.
