Rivera Officially Worst Coach In Panthers History (And Amazingly, He Did It In Half the Time Seifert Took)

After losing to the Falcons earlier this season when they let a receiver behind them in the final minute, the Panthers were determined not to let that happen again.

But that didn’t stop Ron Rivera and his staff from calling the same coverage again, and again, and again as the Bears pecked their way to a game-winning field goal.

“They threw the same pass play all the way down the field,” Panthers safety Charles Godfrey said, via Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer. “It wasn’t nothing they were doing. It was what we were in, the coverage we were in. That was a great play for that coverage. And they just ran that play all the way down the field.

“The coverage we were in, we stayed in that coverage. That’s what happened.”

Jay Cutler completed 5-of-6 passes on the final drive, none of them longer than 12 yards. He kept throwing little slants to Brandon Marshall, and the Panthers didn’t change anything, having been burned previously.

“It’s one of those things where if you jump [the route] and they double-move you, now all of a sudden it’s a touchdown or the ball is in field goal range,” Rivera said. “We were trying to make them systematically beat us.”

Mission accomplished.

While the firing of general manager Marty Hurney a week ago was the first sign Rivera might not be on stable footing, he’s now 1-10 in games decided by a touchdown or less as the Panthers head coach.

He’s also 7-16 overall (.304 winning percentage), putting him safely below George Seifert (16-32, .333) as the losingest coach in franchise history.

Seifert got three years to earn that distinction.

Rivera might not.

He has to have regretted that as soon as it came out of his mouth. Even if that's the right statement phrase it affirmatively. Say "we were trying to eat up the clock and keep them out of Field Goal range by making them throw short".

You're still wrong, you still need to be beat in the face with a Herring, but at least you don't sound so passive and defeatist.

Jesus - and people are upset about Cam's press conferences.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
