Panthers fire Ron Rivera

[12intheBox]

Not a surprise.

Shurmdog is prolly next.

 

[Merlin]

Bout time. And he wasn't the guy who deserved it most either.

I think the writing was on the wall for a while now. With Cam's struggles and the lack of wins for a new owner this was bound to happen. I think Cam is gone in the off season too.

 

[12intheBox]

yeah - it will be a rebuild in Carolina. Cam is as good as gone - I wonder if he will ever be a force in the league again.

Nah, RBs trying to play QB don't last long usually.

Riverboat Gone

Tell that to Lamar.

I thought Cam had a better chance of lasting since he is just so big but he never got the protection that other QBs get - even in the pocket.

Could Rivera be Wade's replacement next season? Hmmm...

 

[Dodgersrf]

He won't be unemployed for long.

 

[Mister Sin]

Hmmm rumor has it the rams may need a new DC next season! Lol

 

[Mojo Ram]

They shoulda fired Scam Newton instead.

Good football coach, who will get another gig. Wanted Rivera in 2006, however, Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dumber (Shaw & Zygmunt) went with Milquetoast Linehan.

 

[LesBaker]

He was coach of the year in 2013 and 201

This is going to make it hard for them to attract some talent knowing the rope is that short.

@Mojo Ram Newton will be playing for the Bears next year........I just have that feeling.

Rivera is a good not great DC. I wouldn't want him here. I'd rather have John Pagano who taught both Wade and Rivera the hybrid 3-4 scheme that Wade has been using since he was in San Diego. Rivera's roots are as a 4-3 DC and that's where he's most comfortable. The 3-4 hybrid requires a more creative defensive mind. The 4-3 is about execution and one size fits all.

 

[oldnotdead]

Cleveland is probably on the phone to him now. LOL

 

[Mackeyser]

That's not a bad take, Les. I just wonder in Chicago if they're truly ready to move on from their QB... off-season can play tricks on the minds of GMs

 

[yrba1]

If he can’t land another HC gig, it would be interesting to hire him as a DC. Although I would prefer someone with a fresh mindset in the mold of Robert Saleh to succeed Wade “ok boomer” Phillips; I like Phillips but I think he’s maxed out most of what he’s capable of

yyyup

I remember the debates before and after the hire of Vanillahan

I was thinking Newton to Tennessee...Although right now, Ryan Timothy Tannehill is playing well.
