Rivera: More changes could be coming in Carolina

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Rivera-More-changes-could-be-coming-in-Carolina-30765716

Rivera said Carolina's final 10 games are ''an evaluation process'' and he hasn't ruled out firing assistant coaches or cutting players for underperforming.

''In a situation like this is, when action is being taken, it doesn't mean the action has stopped,'' Rivera said. ''By no means is it over.''

Rivera knows the evaluation process applies to him as well.

Rivera's seat got a little hotter Monday when Hurney, the man who hired him in 2011, was fired. New general managers tend to like to hire their own coaches and in some cases that person is one in the same.

The underachieving Panthers are 1-5 this season entering Sunday's game at Chicago and just 7-22 in two years under Rivera. The 50-year-old Rivera is in the second year of a four-year contract.

When asked about the running game, quarterback Cam Newton said ''I'm not the offensive coordinator. ...

''We haven't had it exciting like we want it to be but we still have to call the plays. It's kind of put a strangle on our passing game. We have to be more balanced.''

As for his own future with the Panthers, Rivera views every day as a fight to keep his job.

Doesn't sound like "alls well" within the team. When the owner says that his team lacks a clear leader..... Players start calling out coaches.... Head Coach telling coaches and players they could be cut any day.......In fact, if I read between the lines at what Cam said, I'd almost think that he's written off the year!

Yes it is, but I think it solidifies what BrooklyBully was sayin last week....

Man, I dont know what to think. The franchise as a whole seems to be in turmoil, and that is as far from what I was thinking this season would be as it can. Hopefully, this week lights a fire up under everybody's asses- get your poo together or get your resume out...

its the resume part that has some worried - how much you wanna bet chud wont bring his read option crap this week?

The read option is a good play and should not be removed from our offense, but come on. Seems like every time we ran the ball it was the read option. It is a slow developing play. Teams are clogging it up and it is easy to stop. There is a reason why this type of running game is not a typical running style in the NFL.

Put us in the "I" and run it. Play action off it. Throw the read option in there just to keep them honest.

We have the talent.

The offense can't always make chicken salad out of chicken poo. The read option seems to be a successful curveball 5-8 times a game, not the foundation of any offensive strategy. I just see Chud like I saw Fox at the end of his tenure, so resolute and stubborn/egotistical to not to want to concede what he's gameplanning isn't working. The players see it, the fans see it. And their demeanor on the field after/between plays these last few weeks is all I need to see to know they don't buy in to this philosophy right now. I can't be the only one who saw DeAngelo literally sprint off the field without acknowledging anyone right after the clock hit 00:00.

It was about this time last year if I remember right, that once it became apparent that the season would not result in playoffs, and was for the most part over, Rivera mentioned how the remaining games would be "evaluations" for who wants to be here next year.

We still have basically the same team from last year with a few changes, and guys should really be worried that they're really going to be evaluated this year?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
