Same here, id be shocked if Rivera is gone. If 2-14 Mike Mularkey didnt even get fired yet, I highly doubt Rivera goes anywhere.

Here is what will happen this weekend. JR: "Ok Ron, good news, you have earned a new lease on life, you will be our HC in 2013. It is playoffs or bust this time, just as I kept my word about trending up, I will keep my word on this. If no playoffs in 2013 we will move on. I will be interviewing several good GM candidates this week, I will make sure I hire a candidate you can work with to complete what you started and tell him this upcoming season is a evaluation period and after the 2013 season, this team is his baby."

O.o

OP left out IMO the most important part:

League sources said the Panthers are targeting an up-and-coming GM with a strong scouting background, as opposed to a retread.

Brandt, who was with the Packers from 1999-2008, said a GM candidate “rising through the ranks might not be in position” to make the call on an existing coach’s future. “If it someone’s very established in the industry, they might have their opinion about what the head coach should be,” Brandt said.

Rivera will be here and deservedly so. The guy deserves one more season and I for one think it will be a good season.

I agree. I just really want Kelly as our coach. I don't want any other coach over Rivera though.

I don't mind Dawson. He's a compromise between Ross and Gettleman, he's a former player.

I think it's interesting that two of the first three potential candidates are WR, and that Dawson being a pro WR isn't a bad starting point for JR. But, the talent's there, too.

If Richardson was going to fire Rivera, he would have done it right after the season. He would have at least met with Rivera right after the season. There is NO WAY, he would wait an entire week to meet with Rivera and then fire him. That makes absolutely no sense. The meeting is probably about the new GM, where Rivera see's this team going, and plans moving forward. There is no way this meeting is to fire Rivera. That's nonsense.

absolutely agree

I'm ambivalent on the Rivera thing because I don't believe in punishing people for sins of the past when they no longer suffer from the same problems.

No doubt Rivera WAS a bad coach last season and the first half of this season, but he has shown definite improvement and I don't want to have to go through a rebuilding period. Sure it would be great to hire a Jim Harbaugh level coach, but for every one of them there are at least 3 Spurrier/Butch Davis/Petrino's.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
