First Take even knows Rivera isn't the Answer.

Even Stephen A. Smith and Skip Scam Bayless both agree that Rivera isn't headcoach material. Stephen made the point that Rivera is a good coordinator but there was a reason all the other teams passed on him to be a head coach. It is laughable when two of the worst at what they and are apart of the national media that pay little attention know what the problem with the Panthers is.

It has been 34 games, I think that is a fair amount of time to judge a HC, especially with the team Rivera had coming in and it's gotten better since he has been here. But they play exactly the same (maybe worst) as they did 3 years ago. That means Rivera has no real personalty to take over the team and make it his.

if they watched our games then they would know coaching was not the problem.

If you have watched all 34 Rivera has coached....he isn't a NFL HC sadly.

Dang good DC. Very bad HC. I have been a huge Ton supporter bc I wanted him to turn a corner but he doesn't have it.

He is a good X's and O's guy and knows technically what you "should" call in a given scenario. Good coaches know you don't always follow the textbook

2-18

That's the Panthers record in the last 20 games decided by a TD or less.

 

 

Clearly not a coaching problem at all. Don't have the balls to win the game when your up 3 points on 3&5 by getting a first down. Allowing the Panthers then to run the clock and kick a FG with little time on the clock or just score a TD and make it 2 possessions... You settle for the FG and leave 1:20 on the clock up by less than TD. The players certainly don't make those decisions.

Exactly how I feel.  Great coach, not good Head Coach.

 

I like the guy... I wanted him to succeed.  He hasn't and isn't going to .

 

He needs to go back to being a DC.  No slight on him, but some aren't cut out to be head coaches.

who's job is it to come up with a game plan their players can win with?

who's job is it to make sure the players are capable of carrying out that gameplan?

who's job is it to make adjustments during the game when their plan isn't working out right?

who's job is it to prepare the players to handle clutch situations?

who's job is it to make sure that their players are in the right position to win?

who's job is it to make sure their players play disciplined football and avoid dumb mistakes?

who's job is it to look at game tape afterward, find out what works and didn't work...including decisions they made...and then change what they do?

who's job is it to look at what their players are failing to execute and make sure that they do better the next week or formulate a game plan that their player can execute?

who's job is it to make sure that they can win with the guys they have on the team?

 

yeah....rivera hasn't been the problem. *insert roll eye gif here*

 

if this team fails consistently, esp. that many close games, it's on the head coach.

 

it's a shame that teflon ron has no self-accountability whatsoever and finds a way to pass it on to someone else.

it's a shame that these players have to deal with that.

it's a shame that PSL owners are trapped yet again having to give up hard earned money to pay to go see this poo that rivera lets fall on the field.

 

meh....

agree w/ this

 

I've tried to convince myself that Chico can be a successful NFL coach man but it just ain't gonna happen. At least not here in Charlotte.

      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
