Weren’t fans calling for his firing after 2 seasons and then in 2013 when he started 1-3. 
We weren’t really patient. We just had to be because Richardson wouldn’t fire him. 
We were forced to be patient.

Some advice from an old friend...

Ron Rivera, the winningest head coach in the history of the Carolina Panthers, has some advice for new head coach Dave Canales. But before we get to that, the coach also had a few words for the team’s fans.

“Be patient,” he said. “Ask them to be patient, like they were for me.”

...

Hopefully they’ll be able to put some veteran guys around him, to help him as he tries to navigate through the pitfalls of being a head coach in the league... You have to make sure you are surrounded by people that are going to help you. You want them to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.”

...

Rivera said one of the early errors he made as a first-time head coach at Carolina was that he didn’t find mentors quickly enough who had been head coaches in the NFL.

“That was one of the first mistakes I made,” Rivera said. “Honestly, my first two years I didn’t have a (former NFL head coach as a) mentor, somebody that when I needed some guidance or an opinion, would provide it.

...

Rivera said part of the way he connected with Charlotte was through community work and added that Canales would be smart to do the same. “This is not just about a football team,” Rivera said. “It’s about the community. You need to make sure you help with that, and I’m sure he will. That’s so important. That’s how the fans get to know who you are, so then they can get behind you and support you.”

 

Some good advice from Ron. I gotta imagine Canales is able to speed dial Carrol whenever he needs now that he isn't coaching and that has to be a huge advantage.

I was gonna say 😄

But hell, word was Richardson was ready to fire him before Marty Hurney basically agreed to be a sacrificial lamb.

Kind of hoping the internal dynamics are a little better this time.

Sidenote - I will always love and appreciate Ron even if he was incredibly frustrating at times as our HC.

Good dude.

A process, like maybe a vision for an identity? Not just like trading around for random fa's or moving back in the draft for fun? We'll see if Tepper has the patience, the 6 year contract means nothing to him. 

One positive (on paper) is that we finally have a HC and GM that are aligned.  That should help a lot with making moves that make sense.

Eh, the team was stagnating and steadily regressing through much of 2012. The final record was 7-9 but it took one of Ron's patented late-seaosn surges when the team was no longer playoff-relevant to rack up 4 consecutive wins. 2012 was not a pretty year.

Rivera had to change his ways to stay here.  It was that 2013 Bills game that turned me on him.  We were up 20-17.  It was 4th and 1 at their 21.  We had Cam Newton, Mike Tolbert, and Williams (Stew was hurt).  Instead of going for it, we kicked a FG and ended up losing the game.

To a touchdown with 2 seconds left on the clock, I believe. What was really going against Ron was that we had been in a lot of close games with Ron but kept losing most of them. Having that pattern repeat itself in Year 3 was infuriating.

Ron started going for it a lot more and that's how Riverboat Ron got started. But of course, this was not really part of a planned process but more of a realization that his philosophy wasn't working.

Then once he got comfortable he lapsed back into his old ways.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
