Rivera reaches out to Jim Skipper

[Fan01]

Did he get fired along with Fox and all of Fox's staff before Rivera got here or did Rivera let him go?

OC: Hue Jackson

RB: Jim Skipper

WR: Ricky Proehl

LB: Bob Babich

ST: Bobby April

Would be an immensely successful start to the offseason IMO

That won't happen, we're the panthers comeon now

[Mr. Scot]

Wow, surprising after Rivera decided not to retain him after 2010. I wonder how Skip feels about that.

Big surprise to me too for that very reason.

It's fairly rare for guys at this level to admit they might have made a mistake. By making this call, Rivera is showing that he has the balls to do that.

Ace Boogie approves.

Babich is the new DC for Jax.

Babich is the new DC for Jax.

Source? Haven't seen it confirmed. Seen that he is in the running, maybe even the favorite, alongside Seahawks DL coach Todd Wash and former Bears DC Rod Marinelli, but not that he's actually gotten the job yet.

John fox was Not fired. His contract wasnt renewed. There is a difference.

Person: I think #Panthers will promote several of their own coaches. Shula to OC, Proehl to WRs (from asstWR), Rodgers to ST (From asst/interim ST).

Ugh god pls no to Shula and Rodgers

Here we go with the armchair coaches and GMs acting like they know better than actual coaches

He was confident Beane was going to be the GM.... So there's that.
