Is Rivera Done Now?

We can probably go ahead and assume the candidates are all defensive coordinators.

 

Sure wouldn't want to break the mold or do anything that might mean taking a chance or paying a coach a lot of money.

 

yeah cuz all the defensive coaches we've had have led us to so many winning seasons....wait.

Its pointless to fire Rivera mid season. Its not going to save the season and it would be purely for show. We are stuck with this guy for 11 more games.

 

Exactly.

 

You don't fire you HC in mid season unless you think that you may have the answer on your coaching staff.  This staff has no one ready to be a HC.  So, you run with Rivera this season and quickly make a change at the end of the season.

Season already going down the toilet before Halloween..... With the way this team plays makes me lose interest in the rest of the NFL. Sucks that you wait months for the season and this team can drain all interest out of you.

Other than protection adjustments on delayed blitzes, it is pretty ignorant to point the finger at Ron after this embarrassing loss.  We lost a lot by not scoring a TD on Smith's dropped pass and again on Lafells dropped pass on 4th and 1.

 

From my limited view, Ginn should now be our #1 wr and push Lafell down to #3.  Ron will be fired after this year so we can have a celebration then, but to point this loss to any one individual person is retarded.  

 

Shula, it's time to start thinking when they are having success blitzing pretty much the same type of blitz every time, and you fail to make adjustments.  When was the last time two different MLB had two sacks in the same game?  Wharton sucks but not much else we can do about that.

This. I worried about this from the first training camp when Zod said it was like a summer camp for 8-year olds. The signs were there from the beginning, but Rivera's rhetoric sounded so sweet.

 

New season, different players, same mental mistakes, same lack of focus

Ron Rivera is not a leader of men

I don't see why some of you want Rivera to finish out the season. I don't care who comes in right now but they need to make a change.

I don't even care if that person is less qualified than Rivera. They just need someone that pushes these players and gets the most out of them. Install this mentality this year so atleast these guys can be somewhat ready to work for a real coach next season.

Having these players just going through the motions for the remaining 12 games is just a waste of time and just developing bad habits for these guys even more than they already have.

I don't know that it's so much people wanting him to as people just expecting that he will.

 

Realistically, you're not going to improve the team with a midseason firing, especially given that the pool from which you'd choose your interim coach isn't exactly one that's loaded with head coaching experience.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
