i would love to see jerry take a chance on a potential candidate and see if someone can come in and turn this season around. with motivation and proper focus/management we could still be 4-3 going into the falcons game.

 

That wouldn't be giving that candidate much of a chance to prove himself.  He'd have no time to introduce his system and he'd have to try to roll with what was in place.  That's a recipe for disaster.  If we can Rivera mid-season, it'll be someone currently on the staff finishing out the season.

I'd be surprised to see a mid-season firing but I wouldn't mind it.  Yeah, it doesn't mean we'll win, but it means the new coach gets some extra practice time and evaluation time to help him going into next year.  You can't tell me that's not a leg up?  Plus, it might send a message, but who knows, I have no faith in this franchise and ownership.

 

Obviously the coach would be out of football right now.  Cowher and Gruden maybe.

 

I would hope it was someone with some experience in running a team.  Winning in this league.  

 

Rivera is a great defensive mind and he should stick to being a defensive coordinator.   Many know that they are not head coach material and stay where they are comfortable.   That is where Rivera belongs.

 

I am with you on letting them come in and see who has what.

While I really would love to be wrong, JR is not going to fire a coach mid season.

 

Something about making people work for what they're paid for etc.

 

Those are mutually contradictive terms.

 

JR will not fire someone mid-season. But he wants them to "work for what they're paid for."

 

So, since Rivera is getting paid, but not fulfilling expectations, i.e. not doing what he's paid to do, what is one supposed to do?

 

You pay somone to work for you at $10/hour and 4 hours into the shift he's not accomplished what you're paying him for. In JR's terms, just let him finish the shift and pay him, regardless of what he did or didn't accomplish?

 

-----------------------

That being said, I wanted Rivera gone least season, but the timing was atrocious and Carolina's front office acted as though they could pick and choose. Problem was, there was nothing left t choose from.

 

Carolina fires Rivera now, who is the interim? Shula, McDermott? Seriously?

      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.
