Was Raheem Morris a better head coach than Ron Rivera?

Raheem Morris was able to scrape together a 10-6 year behind Josh Freeman in 2010.  Ron Rivera is still trying to get to .500 with Cam Newton after three seasons of only once being .500 in his coaching tenure in Carolina (Week 2 in 2012).  Was Raheem Morris a better head coach than Ron Rivera?  

 

Raheem Morris

2009: 3-13

2010: 10-6

2011: 4-12 (started 4-2)

 

17-31 (.354)

 

Ron Rivera

2011: 6-10

2012: 7-9

2013: 1-3

 

14-22 (.388)

 

With the schedule much tougher down the back stretch in 2013, another late season winning streak is unlikely.  Rivera might very well lose the team by mid-season and have a full on collapse much like Tampa's in 2011 if the team can't win some games against weaker opponents in the next few weeks.  The amount of penalties in the Arizona game was out of control...and it might get worse....

It's really hard to say RR is a better head coach than anyone, but I do think he is a better head coach than Morris for the simple reason that the team has shown no signs of quitting on Rivera.

 

No better way to have the players quit on you than losing a bunch of winnable games early in the year then having to face a bunch of playoff contenders down the stretch.  Last year the players had hope that they could win and help Rivera keep his job backed up by an easy late season schedule.  This year there is no such incentive.

I don't know how much it speaks to Rivera, maybe more so to the types of players and leaders this team has...but I don't see us quitting like Tampa did in 2011.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
