New interview video with Rivera posted at panthers.com

ANALYSIS/SYNOPSIS:

- believes that his fresh ideas and connection with Jerry Richardson helped get him the job.

- loves getting the job because it's a young team and a great community

- very big on hard work, discipline, structure and work ethic

- repeated that he wants the defense to be aggressive, attacking and versatile

- likes DeAngelo Williams and looks forward to working with him

- says the offensive line is the key to everything in the run or the pass game

- emphasizes how special teams can get you "hidden yardage"

- happy to get Brian Murphy; said one of the connections is that Murphy was on Norv Turner's "short list" for ST coach (it was known some time ago that Steve Crosby would be out)

- stated that Rich Bisaccia, the former Bucs ST guy who is now with the Chargers, was the other guy on the Panthers short list as well (good choice)

- taking longer than he wanted to get his staff in place

- eager to get to work with the players

- sounds like his wife and family will still be on the West Coast for a while; he's obviously anxious to get them moved

Going a little deeper, one of the biggest things I liked in this clip is that he discussed the notion of whether you run to set up the pass or pass to set up the run. In Rivera's mind, that's not a valid debate. You have to be able to do both effectively or your offense just isn't going to work.

All in all, more to be happy about :)

can't wait to start seeing results of Rivera at the helm. gotta say I feel really good about him to this point.

there is always the question "what is he actually going to do for our team".. but I can't point to any other coach and tell anyone that I feel as confident about them as I do about Ron Rivera..

yes, he has to prove he is legit... and in 2-3 years, perhaps this is a huge mistake, but damn, right now, that doesn't seem possible...

there are certain things I am looking for in the next coaching staff, and he has nailed every aspect...

except of course, he's most likely a racist and doesn't want to see a black QB under center....

    • That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running. 
    • On the subject of Reich and him being no good as a coach, because he wouldn’t change everything he did to accommodate Young. He wanted to sit Young. He knew what Young was.  But to the point, was Andrew Luck a good QB under Reich in Indy? Most people don’t hesitate to say yes. Well, Luck thought enough of his coaching to bring him to Stanford.  There is a bona fide NFL QB that seems to dispute the painting of Reich as a incompetent and the reason for Young’s shortcomings.  Yes he got fired. It appears as if Tepper and Fitterer forced a QB he did not want on him and poisoned the well right from the start. I don’t blame Reich one bit for being pissed either.  And I wasn’t a Reich guy I wanted Wilks. I accepted the Reich hire but never lobbied for him.  Just saying he is being dogged here unfairly.   
    • I think its a mix of both. Bryce being too small and offense is too vanilla. Plays arent creative enough. Most are slants, fades and runs. But even Baker and Sam had to deal with vanilla offense and looked horrid. Thats why I say it's a mix of both.
