I agree. He knows every game counts as a must win....I don't think anything could motivate him further from what he already knows.

If it was a legit leak, it was for the players sake.

I don't buy that...

All I buy is Richardson forced RR/Cam on him for one year.....and then he can move in his own direction. Why his real investment was on a DG defense.

DG IMO could have helped RR by fixing some glaring issue on his OL. Had the ability to upgrade and didn't.

Seems to me coaches come in two types: Innovators and Game Managers

Regardless of the type, the coach must win.

We all know who the innovators are and we all know who the game managers are.

The question becomes, even if Rivera by some act of God or other influences, is better than 8-8, does the organization invest yet another year in him?

Has he reached his ceiling? Perhaps Gettleman has seen enough to believe, what he sees is all he is going to get, combine that with a 77 year old Owner and I would say its probably going to be Lovie Smith time in Carolina...no chances will be taken on a coach who can't get there or who hasn't been there in the first place.

I just do not see Rivera as even a decent game manager, his decisions cost his team victories whether it is in strategic decisions before the game, adjustments during the game or personnel decisions and groupings.

If Ron wants to keep his job, he better win the next 3 games at least, and then have at least one marquee win against a 5 star team...NE comes to mind on Monday night, at home, national audience.

1 candidate knows....they can't reach out to nfl coaches during the season right? Meaning someone outside the nfl has been notified. Any predictions?

 

It could imply that the candidate that has been reached out to is Lovie Smith, who is not currently employed in the NFL. I don't think any restrictions would stop us from letting him know that we are interested.

 

I feel like this story has some merit, but it also has to do with making sure Rivera knows there is a fire burning red hot under his ass, and just because he beat a lowly Giants' team doesn't mean that his job is 100% safe.

That makes no sense Mr. Scot. Sorry...

 

But if those guys decide not to extend based on that, then they are off to an unknown team with a new coach anyways. Assuming they get signed elsewhere.

 

Actually it makes perfect sense.

 

These guys are making career decisions.  Who the head coach ia has a pretty big effect on that career.

 

 

The Hurney-led Panthers were tight lipped, Gettleman might believe in using the media to send messages. 

 

I think it's more accurate to say the Panthers have been tight-lipped under Richardson.

 

Either way, Gettleman doesn't strike me as the type to work through an intermediary.  I'd say if he wants to tell you something, he'll just tell you himself.

I don't really get it. So are we wrapping the season up already and throwing it out? I was in the mind set this morning that if we win today were 2-2 and very alive

 

Not really. Any team with a coach on the hot seat does this kind of prep work in October.

 

You don't want to be caught with your pants down in January when you need a head coach.

 

Rivera can still very much save his job with at least 10 wins, IMO

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
