Well, he hired a consultant to look for a new GM. Maybe JR does see his way isn't working and will let the new GM hire the coach he wants, pro or college? Could be...

I figure Morrison will have some say there too.

Given his background, no stretch to think Morrison may be more open to the college option.

All that said, I don't want Chip Kelly.

I still think Rivera gets one more year (barring the rest of the season being an absolute disaster)

More of the same....I don't.

Games have been too close. Talent big picture hasn't been the issue. We should have a lot more wins in the Rivera era.

Overall record IMO isn't a killer if you are a new coach taking over a 2-14 club.....but how we have lost so many games simply points to many examples of poor coaching (often in game head scratchers)

Winston Moss would be pretty awesome.

Depending on how the situation goes in Indy, what about Bruce Arians? He's doing incredibly well given the current situation there, he's an offensive guy, he worked with Roethlisberger who is a similar player to Cam, and he's a part of the Steelers/Rooney tree that JR loves so much.

Wouldn't mind Kevin Greene as a DC, but I don't know how likely that actually is.

Dave Toub is also an interesting candidate, I believe.

It will be an absolute disaster. The 2012 Panthers have made it a mantra to give away the game in the 4th quarter and that pretty much means 1-15.

That said, I liked the guy from San Francisco. Seely was his name? Give me someone who's worked with Jim Harbaugh.

If you mean Brad Seely, he's worked here before. He was the ST coach under Dom Capers.

Unless we go on an absolute tear and start hearing from the players about his leadership and what he means to the team, keeping Rivera would be absolute disaster playing out before our eyes.

I'm convinced the players are not on board with his plan. How would they react to learn there would be another year with him?

Again, I'm not saying he can't turn it around, but it would be a big, big surprise if he did.

I'd be perfectly content with perry fewell. I like the guy

Agreed... At least we know the defense would be aggressive and would really get after it. I also get the feeling that he would chew some ass during the game if guys wernt performing, command respect and will be a leader of men in a way that the players will want to play for him. ...a skill I think RR's personality is sorely lacking.

I don't know about Fewell. I think he benefits from having great defensive players. I think its more of the players then his coaching.

I agree. I believe the only way Rivera keeps his job is he completely turn this team around and go on a winning streak. I just don't think its possible because Rivera has lost the players if you ask me. A dysfunctional Charles Johnson, Deangelo Williams, and a immature Cam Newton.

      Canales recipe for wins

      By cranky · Posted

      Canales’ recipe for success is simple — slow the game down with long drives that keep the other team’s offense off the field. Long drives are built from short gains but short gains require more 3rd-down conversions.  The Panthers are converting 37.5% of their third downs, which is average but not enough. As a result, they have attempted 21 fourth downs — the most in the NFL — and they’ve converted 71.4% of them, ranking 3rd among teams with at least 15 attempts. The Chiefs are second @ 80% and the Colts are first at 88% but the majority of their conversions are short yardage runs - not passes.  The Panthers have had three big wins this season — against Miami, the Cowboys, and the Packers — those conversions have played a major role in each of those wins. Miami The Panthers trailed by 17 in the 2nd quarter, facing a 4th-and-5 at the Miami 48. Young threw a 21-yard completion and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced another 4th-and-5 at the Miami 33. Young delivered a 17-yard completion for the 1st down and they went on to score the winning TD. Cowboys The game is tied and the Panthers take over at their own 14 with 6 minutes left. Rico picks up 16 yards and Young converts two 3rd downs, gaining 37 yards, but misses on a third conversion. At the Cowboys’ 40, facing a 4th-and-4 at the 2-minute mark — knowing the Cowboys likely score if they get the ball back — Canales has them go for it. Young converts with a 7-yard pass putting them at the 33 in FG range. They then go on to kicj the game winning FG. Packers Young was 2-for-2 on 4th-down attempts. Then on the final drive starting from their own 19 with the score tied, Young converts two 3rd downs for 19 yards and Rico adds another 19 to move them into field-goal range for the win. In total, Bryce went 2-for-4 on 3rd downs and 5-for-5 on 4th downs on critical plays in those games. When the Panthers needed 1 yard against the Packers on their own 41 early in the game, Canales went to Young. - not Rico. When they needed 4 yards to keep the drive going at the 2 minute mark against the Cowboys he went to Young. Those throws weren’t empty-yardage completions; they were high-pressure, must-convert moments that directly contributed to all three wins. I keep reading how the Panthers  are winning in spite of Young, that Canales doesn’t trust him and schemes around him. But these drives show the opposite: when the game is on the line, Canales has consistently put the ball in Young’s hands and Young has consistently produced in those moments.  Some people do well in normal situations but crumble under pressure. Others can be uneven in normal times but produce when the presure is greatest. The question is who would you rather have in the playoffs. More importantly, who do you think Canales and the FO would want?

      TMac injury

      By SpclKen · Posted

      I think is worse news for Tremayne. They need special teams help with him questionable.  If T-Mac is down, XL, Coker, Horn, and Renfrow. No way Chisena gets meaningful snaps as WR, only on special teams.
