I'd want to know details before I say something like that.

Honestly, we know enough. From NFL.com:

Reports of angst between Mills and the defensive line surfaced this offseason after the group underperformed in 2021. But Rivera noted that the decision to fire Mills stemmed from more recent philosophical differences.

"It's about this offseason and training camp," Rivera said.

His firing probably stems from underperformance, and Rivera didn't like the way things were progressing during the offseason and camp. It sounds like it was a long time coming. Rivera was reticent to just fire his friend so easily, so he gave him a chance, but things didn't work out.

Rivera needed to go.  Sometimes messages become stale and a change of scenery is necessary.  Getting rid of Ron wasn’t the problem, we just replaced him with a trash heap 

Yep he totally ruined McCaffrey's career with his terrible decision making.

That's still only a base level explanation.

I'd like to know more.

Sounds like Ron.

This is very valid but 99.9% of the fans here wanted Rivera gone. Be careful what you wish for as they say.

Nothing Valid about that, Rhule should have been fired after year 2, just like the situation we are in now. 

He fuged around and won a CoTY in year 3, which really didnt have poo to do with his coaching.

We then had him as a HC for 9 years, which was 7 too many.

We would have been so much better off with a HC that would have developed Cam instead of just ramming him into a brick wall over and over until he broke. 

fug Rivera.

Rhule is terrible, but "coach of the year" is nothing special.

Take a look at the last twenty or so winners of that particular award and you'll see why.

I would say that the two seasons where he won the award were special seasons as one being where he gained his foot hold and the other was just dominant! And you have to come off of that curmudgeonly attitude bruv. Coach of the year definitely is nothing to sneeze at. The list is pretty solid outside of the pair of Bears' coaches Jauron and Nagy. I will give you those two, especially Nagy, oh yeah and Jason Garrett. If we are talking shite coaches, you always have a point with Jason Garrett.

Coach of the Year tends to go to guys who outperform expectations, but outside of the times when it's been awarded to Bill Belichick it rarely goes to a coach who wins a championship.

As to Rivera, both he and John Fox produced decent seasons, but neither produced consistency.

The truly great coaches don't just flash once in a while. They win on a regular basis.

I see that, but also the man's QB got hurt. We were 6-2 until Cam got hurt second to last year, then the next year they won five games in a row with Kyle Allen. I feel like Tepper wanted his guy so bad he just quickly ushered in the next era of suck.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
