How refreshing, a coach who takes responsibility

I think this may have been alluded to in another thread, but here's a link to Coughlin taking ownership of the responsibility of the team's performance like a HC should.  And this is a guy who's already more than proven himself able to take a team that is NOT the best in the league by any stretch and win the league championship...twice.  If anyone on that club is above reproach it's Coughlin.  Hell, if the Giants fire him I honestly wouldn't mind if we rented him for 4 or 5 years.  I know there'd be growing pains, but with the abundance of young talent on this team, it would set a foundation and mental toughness that would last well beyond his tenure.

We are going to be in a pickle.

 

Any big name new coach will want his own QB.  Whether that is Cam or not, remains to be seen.  What if Coughlin told Gman, "hey, I will come, but not convinced we keep Newton".  Are you on board?

I remember players were complaining how strict he was. There were a few cartoons made about it which was hilarious. That just shows you that winning cures everything. Let us win like 5 in the row, a lot of these threads will disappear.

 

Yea, I remember that too.  That's what I meant by growing pains.  But I firmly believe it's that heavy hand that keeps his team mentally tough at the end of the season when other teams are wearing down that's won them two SBs.  That's why they tend to get hot at the end of the season.

That's a tough question.  Ultimately, if Coughlin (or any other HC) let Cam go, brought in their own QB and was successful, that's enough for me.  I want it to be Cam, I fully believe in him and I like him as a person (as much as any disconnected fan can) and a player but my loyalty is to the team.  Not any one player.

I love Cam, but big name coaches are big name coaches for a reason.  A proven SuperBowl winning coach comes in here with a gameplan, and if he thinks Cam isnt the answer, so be it.

 

In reality though, I think you will see big name coaches look at Cam and see a talented QB who just needs to be shown what it takes to win.  I would be drooling to coach this Panthers team if I were a big name coach looking to get back into coaching.  Its a team expected to lose and nationally a team people laugh at, and if a coach can come in here a win, the legacy grows for them.

 

This is why I want to see Rivera gone.  Bring in a big name coach.  A Cowher, Gruden type.

We will never get a good coach as long as Jerry Richardson owns this team.  JR doesn't care about appeasing the fans or even winning(which is apparent with 4 winning seasons in soon to be 19 years) he only cares about his profit margin unfortunately.  I am 100% sure he is one of the laughing stocks amongst the league owners.  

 

The sooner he doesn't own this team anymore the better off the team will be.

Silliness. Your statement is self-refuting.

You say Richardson doesn't give a poo, he only wants to make money.

Richardson would make a POO load more money if this team was a championship team.

Put away your conspiracy theories. Occam's Razor gives you the only answer you need... Richardson has a bad team because he hires incompetent people to run his team.

If you're ok with a 20% winning percentage(in terms of winning seasons) that is your prerogative.  How is it a "conspiracy theory" when the Panthers have only had 4 winning seasons in 19 years?  Here is a tidbit for you, he bought into the NFL for $250 million.  The team is now worth $1.2 billion that is damn near a 400% increase in the value of the team.  As long as he keeps raking in that much money he won't care to put a winning product on the field because he really doesnt have any incentive to spend the money to win because our fanbase will continue to line his pockets no matter what.  If he was as dedicated to our fans as we are to his team we would be contenders every year.

 

Let his profit margin drop significantly and I bet we would see some big changes with this team.

 

Also to your point about him hiring incompetent people to run his team, you know why he does this?  It is because he is cheap as hell and doesn't really care about winning.  As the old adage goes "You get what you pay for."

We will not land any legit coach as long as JR is owner.

Successful head coaches are type A's who want control of the team. Jerry is a type A who will not relinquish control and he will not pay any real coach to come here.

We'll get a coach from the giants. It will be shittty perry fewell or super shittty Kevin gilbride.

Zero faith that he will let getts really run this team. We will continue this trip to mediocrity for as long as JR is owner, which could be another 20 years.

John Fox was  a type A person and he was paid quite well. 

 

I've hoped Rivera could get his act together and have probably defended him for things that I felt weren't his fault too much. Everyone here loved him his first season for being so aggressive. Fan's opinions are formed to easily and change overnight. I was never impressed with Rivera since he was first introduced. Hi words just never made sense but everyone here ate that crap up.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
