I'm going to say that a candidate leaked it, and I'll also say that said candidate was not actually in the running for the head coach job and is assuming that he was, because coaches that get feelers from the NFL for head jobs aren't stupid enough to leak it and our FO is not the kind that does that.

The thing about Rivera that bothers me is the thing I liked most about him in the beginning--his press conferences.

 

Just this year, he compared AJ Klein to Luke Keuchly.  Last week, he likened (indirectly) Sproles to Barner. 

 

I hate that he spews statistics such as the team's mathematical method for grading players and does not play the odds during games.  If you have an 80% chance to win a game on 4th down, especially if not getting the first down means the other team is likely to play for a tie--you take that chance.  Don't sit there and tell me that Hardy had a good game because he was a factor in 1/3.44 plays per game and the norm for DE's is 7.3.  If you understand numbers, then play the odds and do the math.

I hate to break it to you, but a lot of Rivera's decisions late in games are favored mathematically. We have shitty luck.

"One coach knows they're interested". Sounds like more than a background check. Or, they called someone for the check then that person let it slip to the candidate. Not sure.

 

Read the full context...

 

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 6m

Sources: #Panthers have begun laying groundwork for a possible coaching search, doing background checks on candidates. 1 candidate knows.

 

Per the source, background checks only.  The candidate 'knowing' doesn't imply contact.

Very possible.

Two things I am away from this, both are assumptions.

This was no leaked on our side. And certainly not one of the coaches either. Most likely agents running their mouths.

Also I view this as due diligence so that in case there is a coaching change we will hit the ground running to try and get our guy locked up before competition increases.

Not necessarily that a firing is imminent. But to be able to act swiftly if we do fire Rivera.

Actually it makes perfect sense.

 

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

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Agree, but he's not gonna stand up in front of the whole team and tell them it's Rivera's ass if they don't win.

I think Rivera will be gone at the end of the year but this is bull$@@t that this was leaked.

I can't imagine JR is cool with this. Regardless of how you feel about Rivera and his future, this is the epitome of unprofessional.

Rivera knows the expectations regarding his job. There is no need to embarrass the man or his family.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      Brah, get in we are going down Cookers injury history- 2024- hamstring injury that had a effect on his combine and pro-day= UDFA gem. panthers bought him and he rehabbed during mini. During TC he missed time with quad(future incoming here). Panthers CUT him, how?? why did they?? You have to agree one of the reasons was injury. Hes on PS for couple weeks and now on the 53. Around week 10 he goes on IR with quad.... makes it back and gives hope he's ready for 2025. 2025- He shows up in Benij shape, gets another quad injury. Adam take allllll the WRs and BY to one of Minnesotas' 10,000 lakes. No Coker, team upset and lays out a workout plan.( He follows it. )Steve Smith releases a 10 min rap beef video calling out how lazy and unprofessional Cooker is. Time passes- Panthers trade Adam with the hope Coker can take some of the reps, he gets another quad injury and hurts the Panthers plan. 6 IR weeks later he comes back, he's fresh legged and others are six weeks in. Playoffs he has a all-timer game.  So if you want to get detailed about it, there they are. He missed 3 games in 2024 (bye adds another week)due to injury and 3 games being Cut for reasons that may or did include his leg being hurt. 2025 he shows up in Benj-shape and has another mini, OTAs, and TC of rehabbing mixed with live reps. Then two days after the Adam trade, he re-injuries his troubled quad and sits on IR for 6 games.  We can or you can discuss the reasons for him being cut and determine if his injury issues were part of it or not. The main point in all this to to show their are some issues if the team is counting on Coker, as shown above and they are not just quad ones.  Hammer-time..... so for the 42nd time Im telling all who want to talk panthers and what could be in the future plans, watch out for the Matt Millen special........ cause WR is on the menu and it should be given the Panthers are one repeating quad issue from starting David fing Moore or who knows I still have a little hope XL shows up and can be a legit #2....
