To this day, I would have still fired Rivera in 2014 pre-SB run.  We didn't make that run because of him.  His crews can bring a team to a playoff contender floor but that's about it.  Needs the players to do the rest.  McD was also a big part (who don't forget we interviewed in contention with Rivera before bringing both in HC+DC)

McDermott may not have been ready yet back then but who really knows.  Looking ahead--I see 4 totally respectable and pretty darn certain upgrades in Hackett, Daboll, Pederson, & Eberflus.

They should strongly be considered to replace Rhule and get things back in order.

Ron would have kept Cam going into 2020.  That singular move likely would have put us in a better big picture position than hiring Rhule.  

Rhule paid Teddy/Sam, picked up a 5th year and traded away our draft picks. 
 

I mean the Ron window ended.  Ron knows that.  Panthers went about replacing Ron in the worst way possible.   would have rather kept Ron another year and replaced him with someone not named Matt Rhule. 

Not exactly sure he would have kept Cam

He was under contract.  Ron Rivera wasn't cutting Cam in Carolina.  

Ron didn't sign Cam in Washington and frankly that was the right call.  You can't go to Washington and literally repeat Carolina with Ron/Cam.  That wasn't what he was hired to do there.

You're assuming that was Ron's call to make.

Most of the evidence I've seen says otherwise.

Jourdan Rodrigue, Joe Person and others reported long ago that Rivera and Marty Hurney both wanted to offer Newton an extension but David Tepper said no.

I don't think it's guaranteed that Rivera staying on another year would have meant a different ending for Newton.

Moving on was the correct decision.  

By keeping Rivera the statement made would have been that the organization was fine with status quo.   No one, including the owner wanted complacency which is why Ron is gone.  So far that has not worked out.  
 

Still, as the saying goes,  better to try and fail than fail to try.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
