So I know we're all excited about our new coach

But has there been any fan base that wasn't ecstatic about their new coaching staff? I wasn't around for the new Fox regime, and I obviously don't follow any other teams all that closely so I don't have a clue. We're all incredibly excited about what Rivera can hopefully do with this team (myself is definitely included in this); I'm just wondering if this is always the case?

haven't really seen a Panther fan that's mad about Rivera

have seen plenty of Bronco fans mad about the Fox hire

I guess it just depends. Most of the time when a new coach is hired, it's because the old coach was bad and the fans are just happy for a change.

I agree. Very few people have a clue about how well he will do.

On paper he is a safe bet

A lot of Dallas fans were "WTF?" about Wade Phillips, and I know some Charger ones who couldn't believe they gave Norv Turner another chance.

I think your supposition is a lot closer to the truth when it's a rookie head coach, for what it's worth, but were there really a lot of Tampa fans excited about Morris?

Everyone's excited when you have a coaching change, but there are objective reasons to be happy.

Worth noting that a load of the people now touting Rivera were on the Jim Harbaugh, Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden bandwagons before his hire. After the first presser, all of those trains pretty much left town.

      Unc Basketball thread

      By toldozer · Posted

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
