Brian Murphy fired as special teams coach

[Khaki Lackey]

Why is Chud not fired?

He won the immunity challenge.

[Mage]

I would think Richardson had some input

In what, firing the special teams coach? No, that is on Rivera.

But, even if he had input, why does it matter to everyone here? Do people really think firing Rivera right now is going to accomplish anything? Richardson knows what the issue is and the issue (firing Rivera) will be dealt with at the end of the season unless we totally screw the pooch sometime soon worse than we already have.

[Guest Tom Cat]

Bye Bye

[CRA]

scapegoat. nothing more.

sure, he and Hunrey both needed to go....but the timing makes them both scapegoats. Offense and general HC'ing is why we have only 2 wins.

The special teams coach? Really?

Makes Rivera look pathetically desperate.

[Argus Plexus]

wtf!! Chud has been stinking it up game after game and he gets a pass but our STs has one bad game and he gets fired?! lol this getting more comical by the day

Our ST's unit has been the laughingstock of the NFL for many many years. Where have you been?

[carolina-chuck]

Kinda not a scapegoat by definition if you actually suck.

He sucked and should've been gone last year but it was also a scapegoat for Chico. Chico gotta go also.

He used Joe Adams as the "SG" to why we loss vs NYG and now Murphy.

Was Murphy the easy call because less salary the organization has to eat? Plus the Holliday PR makes the choice extra convenient today?

I believe that usually the only coach with a multi-year contract is the head coach.

this is like getting gangrene on your entire leg and just amputating a toe

[Raskle]

Murph today.. Chud in two more weeks. We'll hold with that, maybe Rivera by week 14 or 15, letting McDerm run the last week or two of practices before this shitstorm season is over. Maybe Chico rides out until the end of the year, depending on JR and the fans' moods and vitriol.

I just don't see how we continue with him at the helm anymore. He's shown nothing to warrant being retained.

If Ron Rivera announced Murphy's firing, and Hurney is also gone, who's gonna announce Rivera's firing?

JR at the end of the season when he does his yearly "state of the Panthers address"

[nobody]

if its riveria trying to save his job it will be chud next then mcderm then the boss pulls the trigger and they tell us our new gm and hc the last game of the season to give a sense of hope for the offseason (and stop the bleeding with ticket sales)
