Is Ron Rivera Job 100% Safe?

He is safe for next year....last year on his contract.

 

To start 1-3 and go 10-6 (if we lose out) is a great job.  Showed sig improvement over past season.

 

In this case, there is no way that Richardson eats a year on his contract and fires him.

 

He might not get an extension, but he does not get fired.

Lovie Smith got fired after going 10-6.

 

That said, Rivera's job is safe until next year.

Different situation entirely with Smith. The Bears only won 3 games after starting 7-1, and had been in the NFC championship game the year before. It was practically crash and burn compared to expectations.

 

10-6 for the Panthers would be disappointing, but still a significant improvement. This is a team that's getting it together, not falling apart.

Lets see... In 2.8(no offseason year1) seasons Rivera turns one of the worst special teams and defensive squads into one of the top 5 in each (#2 defensively), we win 10 games with 2 to go and have become relevant on one of the tightest teams we ever had. On the way to playoffs and possible division win.

The offense immediately on his arrival went from historicl-terrible to top 5.

Questions to ask: Are we winning? Are we improving? Is the team cohesive and playing hard? Do we have a chance against everyone we play?

If the answers are yes...then you have your coach.

I personally like Ron Rivera and he seems like a nice guy.  I hope the winning continues and he stays the coach for a long time and I do think his job is  safe now. 

 

As a side note I don't see us losing both of the last games either!

Were 10-4, a legit shot at the two seed and a first round bye. Is this really the time for this thread. Geez

 

My apologies as I didn't mean to offend anyone on the board with this topic as I see many are upset with the question.

 

I respect a number of people's opinion on this borard and I had a couple of conversations with friends about this a few minutes ago and I wanted to see what the board thought. 

 

I know this is a passionate topic for a lot of us I just wanted to get different people's take on this, that's all...my goodness.

For the first time all season I really didn't expect to see this thread.

 

At the *worst* we will win 10 games this year. We've had our first winning season since 2008.  We tied our franchise record for a winning streak.  All this while having a secondary with more holes than a strainer, a sub-par receiving corps, and an OL that...well...it's just our OL.

 

Even if we fug up and go 10-6 Rivera should get a contract extension, and I think he will.

Hopefully we won't see a thread like this for the next ten yrs.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
