I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

Team sport. Ron rode Cam and Luke, didn’t really build the team well..especially around Cam. 

Yeah and rode the poo out of CMC in his final years as coach

2015 with a mid level coach + OC and we are sb champs. Everyone wants to bang on the LT that game. Well, it was the RT flailing around out there, Remmers did what he could on his own. Shula went full retard all game. Denver knew the plays as we were stale as hell and even though the run game was imaginative to a degree (effective as hell with Ginn and Cam plus rbs) it was countered. they really had a number on what were doing every before every and it wasn't some spy thing, it was predictability. That's more what made that game a coaching failure than players failure. The brain trust on O sucked, and Ron had no ideas how to fix it his time here or later stops. 

 

Ron road MVPs, OPOY, DPOY, CPOY, and a lot of great players to get those awards. He's a DC that's it and marginal there too (bears teams before him were loaded, same in SD).

To the OP's credit, Ron Rivera, imo, used Cam at times like a fullback.  The fact that he never had back-to-back winning seasons with a stud QB says a lot.  The OL was an afterthought.  Cam saved RR's job many times.  RR was NFC coach of the year twice during that time, but he never earned it.  I wish we had kept Fox.  He got it.  Never had a great QB and won more.

If 2003-2005 Fox could've stuck around in perpetuity, sure. End of the line Fox, no thanks. Both sides were just beyond done and fed up.

Deep, meaningless thoughts from big kitty. Any random emotion becomes a new thread on here.

I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell. 
 

I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.
