If Rivera was fired, who'd you want?

Just as the title suggests. If Rivera was actually fired/resigned/or his contract wasn't renewed, who exactly would you want to take his place?

Honestly, I've thought about it for a while, and I really don't know who the awesome coaching candidates out there, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Mike Zimmer. We would keep the 43 base defense, would play with a toughness that other teams would respect, and it would probably piss off a lot of Falcons' fans, which would be hilarious.

Other than Zimmer, I think my next candidate would be Kevin Greene. I know Kevin Greene hasn't really been "the guy" in Green Bay, but he's fiery, he seems partially crazy, and could really give our team the kick in the ass it needs.

ugh.

Definitely not saying to fire our coach. But, I keep seeing all of these "FIRE RIVERA" threads, so I thought, who the hell would these people actually want in his place? Most people just bandwagon on the "FIRE X" threads, with no idea of what they would want after.

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
