Top 3 coaches in panthers history?

[KaseKlosed]

Who are the top three all-time coaches in the Carolina Panthers franchise, in your opinion

 

1. Ron Rivera (2011-2019)
2. John Fox (2002-2010)
3. Matt Rhule (2020-2022)
4. George Seifert (1999-2001)
5. Dom Capers (1995-1998)
6. Marty Hurney (Interim - 2012)
7. Jack Del Rio (2002-2003)
8. Mike McCormack (1995)
9. Dave Wannstedt (2004)
10. Dan Henning (2008-2010)

[Mr. Scot]

Hurney and McCormack weren't coaches.

Del Rio and Henning weren't head coaches.

Wannstedt never worked here in any capacity.

List in OP is weird but IMO:

1. Fox

2. Rivera

3. Capers

[Bear Hands]

Is Interim in CE or BCE?

[Mage]

1. Ron Rivera

2. John Fox

3. Capers 

Fox and Rivera is close.  But Rivera coached the best team in history and was more open to being more aggressive, whereas Fox always remained the same ole' conservative coach.  I'd also argue that Rivera surrounded himself with better assistant coaches than Fox did.  AND lastly, Fox tanked one of the best and probably the most underrated Panthers team ever (2009 Panthers) because of his refusal to bench Jake Delhomme.  That was a more complete version of the 2008 team and all we needed was Matt Moore to be the starter, but Fox refused.  Rivera wasn't the best at personnel changes but I don't think any decision he made was worse than Fox's that year to stick with Jake.

I'd put Mills on the list for the likes of Morgan, Witherspoon, Fields, and even turning guys like Greg Favors and Lester Towns into serviceable starters.

Capers, Fox, Rivera.

Capers had the most successful first season for any expansion team ever to that point. Never made it to the Super Bowl but the run in year 2 was one of the best we ever had.

Fox got us to within minutes of beating the most decorated QB of all time and pulled us up from the cellar pretty damn fast.

Rivera had the single best season of any coach but also squandered the most talent. Third best, but also one who underachieved in many ways.

 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

I mean it's clearly Rivera, Fox, and Capers. Seifert is way behind (1999 was the best nonplayoff year this team has ever had) and Rhule is at the bottom of the barrel.

[CPantherKing]

Seifert screwed up when he thought he was Bill Walsh and could dump Beuerlein because he found Jeff Lewis and Chris Weinke as his back up. Too bad he had a real NFL QB succeeding in NFLE in Dameyune Craig who he never gave an opportunity to start and prove he could succeed in the NFL. Draft Brady in 2000 and Brees in 2001. Beuerlein, Brady, Brees, and Craig would have made for a nice QB room. Bill Walsh he was not.

[Hugor Hill]

If we're just gonna add people to the list who weren't even coaches for the Panthers then I'm adding Coach Klein. His was the best innovator and his gameplanning was unparalleled.

I hate you for even bringing this topic up.

 

No, No, it's fine. 

 

Just pour salt in the wound of 25 years of mediocrity at best. I don't mind.

[JawnyBlaze]

Fox, Capers, Rivera. Man that’s sad. 

[TheProcess]

What a sad list
