Rivera will be....

The best coach the Panthers have ever had. I just finished watching a couple videos of Coach with the team and all i can say is WOW! Its so cool for me as a fan to actually see the coach really communicating with our players on a personal level. I belive that RR is just starting to settle in with his surroundings and the players are coming around to it as well. just thought i would share this revelation with you guys and get your responses on how you think coach is doing.

see its kinda neat that i said will be not is. just thought i would point that out.

uhm okay...? and I said I'd like to see some results on the field before I made that decision. You can predict all you want from his video interviews, but I prefer to go off what I see on the field, which has been far from 'will be best coach we've ever had' material... but there are understandable reasons for that, which is why I'm not freaking out about how the team is doing.

you're welcome to predict his future but I think we don't have sufficient evidence yet to conclude he's going to be our greatest coach ever. That's my opinion, disagree if you want.

Jimmie Johnson doesn't apply, they stripped the team of vets the year before Rivera got here and Fox got that raw deal. Rivera's excuse would have to be the lack of training camp.

Oh, you're correct, but I was referring more to the other guy's comment about Rivera being the worst first year coach in Panther's history which, even if it comes to pass, means little, a la Jimmie Johnson

he's pretty close to being the worst first year coach in Panthers history.

yeah, I know it doesn't mean anything... just trivia if you're interested

Capers 7-9

Siefert 8-8

Fox 7-9

Rivera ???

didn't fox start out 3-8 though? 4 wins out of the last 5 or something. never know how we could finish. seems unlikely we'll hit 7 wins, but really, I don't think we're too concerned about first year record all things considered

fox' early teams were streaky

2002

started 3-0

lost 8 in a row, then won 4 of 5.

2003

started 5-0

had a 3 game losing streak somewhere in there before a winning streak to end the season/enter the playoffs

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
