I think if we can finish a respectable 7-9 or 8-8. Rivera deserves just one more chance. Dont get me wrong, if im the new GM I put Rivera on a extremely tight leash. Its simple, tell Rivera point blank.. We will give you another chance but if we have a losing record come the bye week, you are gone. No excuses.. Cam injured for the season? Doesnt matter. We "only" lost every game by 1 point? Dont care. Our schedule was "tough." doesnt matter. Even if we are at .500 at the bye week, you still get fired Ron. Period! Its winning record at the bye or ELSE. No not .500, no, not "moral victories." WINNING RECORD.

The reason I say this is because there is going to be A LOT of competition for HCs next season in very desireable locations. San Diego,Philly, NY, Dallas just to name a few. Which means highly sought after candidates will most likely go to the big market teams and we will just have the scraps to choose from. Its simple supply and demand. I say wait to find a HC when so many openings wont be avaliable.

Hell no.

So we can fire him in week 3 next year when we start 0-3, and have an interim coach for the reiftar the year?

Chico is a burnt burrito. Dude gotta go.

But think about it. Woth openings on Dallas, Philly, NY and San Diego why would a good prospect choose Carolina over any of those teams? In 2013 you wont have as many coach firings and it will be easier to get a good candidate. Why on earth would a Gruden or Cowher come to Carolina when they can have any of those big market teams?

Whether you want to admit it or not there aren't many guys out there who know football better than Ron. If he shows he has learned to manage a game & we win out he should stay.

OP made a good point. Philadelphia, San Diego, Dallas, New York, & potentially Washington will all have a HC vacancy this offseason. Do you really want the leftovers of those 5 teams? Nobody is choosing Carolina over those places.

We don't win out without great gameplanning & coaching. So if it happens Ron should be given a 3rd year to make a playoff push.

So basically you are willing to waste next year if Rivera can't get a winning record by the bye week (which there is no reason to believe he can) so we can hopefully get a better coach after next season? That is completely retarded. You keep a coach because you believe he can get the job done, not because other teams have jobs opening

Aren't you the same guy that said tank to get Rivera out? LOL.

Aren't you the same guy that Cam was inferior to that guy in Washington? The dude's ass he whipped in DC? You know, the one that doesn't have a prayer of matching Cam's rookie season & will finish with 6-7 wins. Yeah, you're that guy.

Ron, we just don't want you as our HC anymore. Go troll another teams board!!! Maybe you can convince them to hire you as a LB coach! :lolu:

If you guys look at the big picture though. If we go 8-8 that will mean in 2 seasons Rivera took over a 2-14 team and went 6-10 his first year and 8-8 his 2nd year. No im not fond of Rivera but unless Gruden or Cowher want to coach here, I would say 8-8 should earn Rivera atleast until next season's bye to put up or shut up.

I get your point but we're not looking for a Gruden or Cowher. We want a upcoming HC.

It's going to be hard for any potential HC to want to go coach under Jerry Jones with little decision making. If Garrett is fire, Holmgreen is the next HC there.

Philly has no QB to lure a top tier HC.

SD may be the only competition for a HC.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
