Who was our best game day coach?

[outlaw4]

Toss up between Fox and Rivera. A nagging thing with both of them is against Belichick and the Patriots, our teams actually looked well prepared.

[LinvilleGorge]

Honestly I don't think we've ever had one.

Our staffs have always seemed like we go into game day with a game plan that either works or doesn't. In-game adjustments have never seemed our forte.

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.

 

Is that Bub?

haven’t had one yet. still waiting for a competent owner. maybe 2035.

Kinda like Corey and Philly Brown...

I strongly disagree.  Corey was nothing compared to Philly B. 

In all seriousness, still one of my favorite Panther plays ever.

Rivera would agree with you

And yeah, that play was great.

Eric Washington has to be the worst Coordinator and defensive play caller. Let's make our HOF MLB solo blitz into three offensive Linemen.

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.

Luke Kuechly.  By far our best game day coach, despite the fact he was on the field.

One of the most fun things about having him was watching when he'd spot something and go ape sh-t right before the play

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.

[NAS]

Ron never really made in game adjustments except to start going for it on 4th and inches.  How he sold himself as Riverboat is a joke

[NAS]

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
