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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
