No sense of urgency in Rivera's voice...

[PantherGuy]

My boy said the Steelers were down to him and Tomlin a few years back. They didn't hire him because they see he didn't have that "killer" instinct. I see its true.

You see it, I see it, everyone sees it. It seems that between Fox and Rivera, having a killer instinct is not a requirement for Panthers coaching candidates. Maybe it never was, and maybe your chances of getting the job increase if you don't have a killer instinct.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Fire his ass. I'm done with Ron Rivera.

[Makish]

Riveria is our version of Mike Singultary a good coordinator, but a bad Head coach. The lame duck coach before we get a Great Coach to light a fire under this team

Polian/Dungy 2013

If we don't do better than last year with most of our starters back, then he's toast. He needs to light a fire under the OC and DC

butts. In turn all players should play like their employment depended on it.

[PantherPhann89]

I swear, Rivera lacks the ability to react.

If he put his hand on a hot stove he probably would keep it there.

I was scolded in the Huddle for saying that I wanted a HC that showed emotion on the sideline. Our team plays like our HC acts.

[shelbypanther]

there was a reason he was interviewed 9 times and rejected 9 times....but this organization does the same thing wit players....we take practice squad players and make them starters!

Bingo!

Until an owner (Jerry), who cares more about the 'league' than his own franchise saw that the 'league' needed a minority Hispanic HC, he wasn't hired by anyone. Rivera seems like a decent guy and all, but far far from HC material. After he gets shown the door here, which may take awhile, he'll have success as a DC elsewhere again.

[Jrock88]

you have to figure that ron being an ex player had to factor into JR hiring him... but i think we can all agree that players dont always = good coaches, bottom line.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Listening to him after the game, I really don't know if he knows his team is 1-4.

Might explain how this team plays with no sense of urgency.

Really doesn't matter as long as JR retains Hurney as well as Rivera.

Clean house and...........

[cgarsmoker]

Rivera was hired because Hurney knew Rivera was weak and wouldn't try a power grab anytime soon. Our team sucks cause Hurney is more interested in protecting his position than getting a coach with some balls. If the coach gets too popular, he might insist on more authority of personnel decisions and that would leave Hurney on the outside looking in. I see this crap in business all the time.

Really doesn't matter as long as JR retains Hurney as well as Rivera.

He has been out of coaching too long...the game has past hime by already..

[Firehurneydotcom]

hes gotta go....soon.

[bleys]

Cowher is never returning to football... you all can give that up now.

[BIGH2001]

Whenever I watch other games and see real coaches on the sidelines I am just baffled that this clown is leading our team. He is worse than all but a handful of coaches in the league. It's no coincidence that our only win came against Aaron Kromer and the saints. Other coaches who are as bad or worse than Rivera are:

Pat Shurmur

Romeo Crennel

Jason Garrett (on a bad day)

Aaron Kromer

Dennis Allen (maybe)

That's it. His wins last year came against Raheem Morris (twice - fired), jim Caldwell (fired), jack del rio (fired), Gary Kubiak after the texans packed it in and mike shanahan starting John beck at qb.

Rivera is not head coach material and it couldn't be more clear. I bet opposing coaches love seeing Carolina next on the schedule because they have to be extremely confident in their ability to outscheme the clueless Ron Rivera.

[shelbypanther]

^{Hell, I'd rather have Del Rio as HC right now.}
