Per Jay Glazer: Rivera to become Panthers HC

Recommended Posts

Most teams only interview three or four guys at the most. Many only interview two.

with the way our season just went I was sure they would at least try to get us someone decent. You can't just select from 4 DC's and hope to get a huge turnaround from a team that just finished 2-14. Why not interview with a successful OC or a NCCA HC that was a winner? JR feels like he is losing the fan base, fans want to see points scored, not 10-3 games, JR needs to do the best to attract the fans interest again

Are we the ones that have 10? If so I'm fine, I just want to win.

Many people had Rivera near or at the top of their lists from the beginning.

I'm not going to give some college coach control over personnel no matter how angry he looks on the sideline.

Rivera is a solid hire. He's not some cheap out. He's probably one of the most successful DC in recent years, so yeah, I'll take him.

Ryan won't work as DC. Rivera will want someone who will just implement Rivera's scheme and help him run it.

Ron was pushed out of Chicago because he butted heads with Lovie. Smith wanted more control of the defense (even though they were ranked #1), kept telling Rivera what to do, and Ron just kept ignoring him and doing his own thing with great success. That's not the official story, but it's why he ended up gone from Chicago.

And it tells me Ron is going to run the defense. And I'm happy with that. If I had to guess our new DC, it would be whoever the LB or DB coach in San Diego is.

I believe the organization understands in today's NFL balance is required, and I expect that will be reflected with the OC and QB coach. If the organization finds the right men to coach the offense, I expect Rivera will transition well as a HC.

The best way to attract fan interest will be wins. Regarding going for "getting some decent" or "NCAA HC" as it relates to fans interest - see Seifert fiasco and how Spurrier turned out of which our fan base was clamoring for.

JR then JR/Hurney have done a good job of picking HC's exept for the Seifert fiasco - and the last time they went DC the turnaround was pretty quick and big. I am going to trust the front office on this and like its Rivera over the Giants D Cooridator. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the staff unfolds, then what they do with the #1 pick.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
