x-post from /r/Panthers....how we're all feeling about Rivera

[hepcat]

 

 

LEGIT.

 

EDIT:  I guess this thread has turned into the question "Has Rivera begun to redeem himself after that blowout win?"

[Fox007]

That's not how I feel at all... he's the reason we aren't 2-1.

 

He is still a terrible coach with the track record to back it up.

 

Maybe this game can be a turning point for him but until consistently proven otherwise...he's still garbage.

cmon man...didn't you ever see the movie???  DUMB AND DUMBER

[MechaZain]

He's in his third year and we're still wondering if he's any good. I've never seen any head coach given so much leeway.

Yes...

 

My take from your post is that Rivera redeemed himself...

 

Unless it is actually about dumb people thinking Rivera is redeemed but actually is not...

Really? It took Bill Cowher 10 years to win the Superbowl.

 

 

I have no problem with giving time to a coach to learn how to win, but that is not how the world works anymore.

Cowher had 6 winning seasons and made the playoffs 6 straight times in his first 6 seasons....

 

How you think that is a legit comparison is beyond belief.

I think he's gone after the season, but he still makes a good scheme.  If we go up two touchdowns on a team with him as a coach we usually win.

 

Basically, we're stuck with him, so I will hope he does well.  And for all the Rivera supporters who have been avoiding posting the last two weeks, it IS, in fact, possible to hope he does well and at the same time still think he's a lousy coach.  Same with Shula.

 

Bottom line, I think they both suck at their jobs, but I'm sure happy they hit on everything right Sunday.  Made it a fun game to watch. :)

[Gucci Mane]

I think he learned his lesson on risky decisions in that they pay off.

[CardiacCats]

I still think he needs to be fired and will continue to think this unless we win these next four games.

Awe yeah got my poo reposted to the huddle. It's how I feel for now. I need to see Rivera close out a few 4th quarter games to really trust Rivera past this season.

So what...

 

Just pointing out that he was given 10 years, Lovie Smith was fired after a playoff apperance. Like I said, everybody has to win now or he is a bum and needs to be fired. Maybe if we could be more patient we might actually have a winning team, but with every loss the coach needs to be fired.

 

This isn't Madden and in reality sometimes things take time to get right.

 

Is Rivera right for this team? Only time will tell and the world doesn't have time anymore.

I don't think the barometer for us is a Superbowl within three years, however people at least want to see competency in close games, and Ron hasn't given us one iota of it in that case

Maybe he was given 10 years because his first 6 years were winning/playoff seasons...LOL...it's not that hard to understand.

 

Rivera is to this point on his way to 3 straight losing seasons....again compare apples to apples...you are way off at this point.

 

 

 

HINT: you'd need to find a coach who had 3 losing seasons then won a superbowl with the same team
