Why Ron Rivera?

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

Some people just don't understand football (sighs...)

Ron Rivera is the best candidate out there. His Bears defense was one of the best in the league (if not the best). His chargers defense was ranked #1 last season. But oh no.... he's hispanic so he must be terrible... :facepalm:

check his papers!!!!!!!

so are we going to start cracking down on racist comments in here?

[Dpantherman]

beyond old

[Jangler]

It has started already and needs to be, because it has gotten old. But I guess it will depend on past comments too. I mean if you are just posting a dumb joke, could get a pass. But if it is something you seem to do on a regular basis, like NA...then you gotta go!

i don't even like it as a joke because people just don't know their limits. they see someone do it once and they think it's acceptable around here.

I agree dont even start it.

[Cavscout]

I agree also...if you think it's that way now, wait until he is offically hired!

Is he an aggressive/fiery type coach?

[err456]

I'm excited about Rivera. Until he shows me different I plan to stay that way.

Well, according to Reed, the Panther offices opened at 11am today, so it's likely time for people to start abusing their F5 buttons again.

back on topic, rivera's defenses are great. they are very aggressive...not some safe cover2 scheme. i thnk he has a much more aggressive mindset and will command the respect of the guys on the team. fox was just a likeable guy that we had as a coach. rivera will be respected on a level that fox wasn't and he will bring more out of the players than fox did. he will help them reach potential that they were never able to under fox.

if you're worried about his defense being in the AFCW...take a look at what he did in chicago and then what happened after he left. they got to the superbowl because of his defense and in spite of their piss poor offense and bad QB play. the only reason they didn't win that superbowl was because they didn't have a good QB or much in the way of receivers. our receiver corps as it is now is better than what they had. their QB situation was better than we had, but still it was not good. they depended too much on their defense to win games. the problem they had was if someone somehow got ahead by 2 TDs they could never catch up. that is exactly what we have here and the way it will continue to be unless we get serious about improving QB.

I'm going to say at this point in time that I don't mind have Rivera as HC now. I wanted them to go after Bill. But it didn't happen. I will be happy with this hire and let it be. To be honest Panthers could of hired Bill and he might of come in and might have done avg compared to what he did with the steelers. You never know what you got in a Hc until you give the guy a chance. You can bring in the best guy in that was out there doesn't mean he would be a good HC here. It all depends on the guy you hire. I'm happy with the hire to honest.:lurk5:
