Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports "hears" that Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is "safe" and will not be fired after the season.

Cole follows that up by saying that "there's more talk" that interim general manager Brandon Beane will get the full-time job. This report goes against what NFL Network's Michael Lombardi said earlier in the week when he said Rivera would "certainly" be fired on Monday, but we'd trust Cole's source more than Lombardi's personal opinion. Carolina enters Week 17 having won four-of-five games, and the team has a chance to finish at 7-9 should they beat the Saints on Sunday. Rivera has the Panthers defense sitting at No. 8 in the league, and after a slow start, Cam Newton has been stellar over the past month or two, getting the offense up to a respectable No. 17 in the NFL.

The Beane/Rivera combo would be absolutely disastrous. If we bring in a GM and he decides to give Rivera another shot to prove he hasn't wasted 2 years of this franchise's time, then so be it. I'll support Rivera for another year. But for God's sake we have to make a real attempt at a real, NFL experienced GM this time. Not some sportswriter, not some intern or whatever Beane was doing before halfway through this season.

I just pray Cole's "source" is Rivera or Beane's agent and there's nothing to it.

Lombardi also said this morning that he is still hearing Rivera is not safe. Lombardi must have a inside source because he keep repeating that Andy, Norv, and Rivera will be let go.

I really don't think this will happen, I really don't think we are that dumb.

I'll come out and say right now that the Beane/Rivera combo will have us picking top 10 every season, and result in said top 10 picks slowly but surely leaving this team.

      PFF Best and Worst vs GB

      Yeah like I said. Your ball knowledge is bad. You think it’s best to try and clown on one of our guys? If you wanna go play with your lil cheese packer-fan you can. I don’t feel bad for him man. As a fan he has nothing to complain about in comparison. His franchise is where the NFL was born, who the trophy is named after. I can appreciate his loyalty though. Btw how many plays did Parsons make in comparison? Or did Rico run all over them too? sorry just a whole lot more nuance than just saying some dumb 💩 about our rookie DE who is playing well. So is Princely. Also new signing Gipsen. Rozeboom recently and others in being better in run D.   your point about Jacob’s, is just that…Jacob’s doing. Your hyper fixation on my remarks about him being a good run DE, doesn’t change that fact. Scourton also needed more on the pass rushing downs. But I could go on and on. the real question that needs to be fixed though is why as a fan do you feel the need to bash one of our own, and talk through another person to try and do it to someone else?

      Burrow or Bryce? Seriously? 32 out of 32 NFL coaches are taking Burrow. Remember we paid 100m to put Bryce behind a good offensive line. Just because Cincy isn’t managed well doesn’t mean anyone in their right mind is taking Bryce and his 3 years of mediocrity over Burrow’s elite level ability.
