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.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
