Would the following things make you change your mind about axing Ron...

1) the team goes on an extended winning streak, finishes at .500

2)Ron shows more emotion on the sidelines, maybe accidentally spits on some players while screaming at them...

3)Ron shelves the ludicrous read option and our backs start earning those millions...

Just a few off the top of my head... am sure you guys can add some of your own

You guys kill me with "more emotion on the sidelines". Ever gotten a look at Belichick? Who gives a poo about that. All that matters is winning.

And to be honest I think that is the only thing that will keep a New GM from coming in and keeping him. New GM typically wants his own guys. I don't see us getting to a 7-9/8-8 or better, but if it happens, then we're talking. Until then it doesn't really matter.

Absolutely. I don't need to see him screaming or spitting. I want to see the team look prepared. I want to see him show effective clock management. I want to see good adjustments week to week.

There are many things I like about Ron and it would be great to see him succeed. Based on what we've seen so far though, it is not highly likely that he can improve enough in 10 games to save his job. He just has not been well prepared in his former stints to excel as a HC in this league.

He's earned my trust back after having watched his last two pressers. The one today was more telling. The true test comes Sunday, and if we can suddenly find ourselves offensively against the League's best Defense... Well then... I think that it will speak for itself

I have some friendly advice for you. Don't trust his presser's, your setting yourself up for major dissapointment.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
