I remember him. He used to stand on the sidelines like a corpse emotionless. I was young but I called him zombie coach. It appeared they wheeled him out on a lift like a statue and then wheeled him back in when the game was over. That guy truly did not give a crap and was just standing there collecting a paycheck. I thought he was a great coach with the 49ers but apparently he was riding some coat tails with someone else's roster as he was bottom of the barrel bad and cared not one bit about it. What an ass he was. I think a dead body was more animated than that waste of space.

Fox and Company....Skipper Henning etc were pretty good at situation management 

It was between Fox and Rivera because they took us to the SB. Fox gets my vote. 

Rivera did nothing at half time to help our offense.  We could have won that game had Rivera/Shula made some adjustments.  

Dan Henning changed our entire gameplan at halftime since the Cheatriots knew everything we were running.  That move by Henning gives my nod to Fox.  While Henning was responsible, Fox gets some of the credit.

That's gonna be a tough one.

Rivera either couldn't or wouldn't adjust in the second half so we always faltered there.

Hard to say Fox because he pulled that bullsh-t against the Cardinals.

Capers? 🤔

I was gonna say Capers, but he wasn't too far off from the cautious defensive guys Fox and Rivera were. They all were "play it safe" guys at their core. When we were down I never expected much in the way of an ability to adjust and come back. Rivera had a little moment where he tried but the reverted back to his cautious default.

I might say Rivera because he had that "riverboat ron" moment but then turned back into "paddle boat ron".

So there not really anyone that has stood out. None were all that great.

We've read stories about guys like McDaniels, McVay, Reid and others making crazy on -the-fly adjustments in games that turned out to be brilliant.

Be nice to have someone that could consistently do that sort of thing.

Fair points on Seifert, I forgot how terrible he was on the sidelines.

i just remember Capers writing in his stupid notepad after every play.  Updated rankings:

1. Fox

2. Rivera

3. Capers

4. Rhule

5. Seifert

I feel sick 🤢

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
