Ron Rivera fired

[ATL96Steeler]

That escalated quickly

This should happen, and it still might, but unless you know have some inside sources...it hasn't happened yet.

Rivera is a good guy, and one might wonder how a guy can get fired one season removed from playing in the SB...he's just not that good of a HC imo. OFC is far too antiquated for the NFL. On DEF...not bad there, but you don't get rid of your top CBs and plug in nothing but rookies behind them.

They were destined for a 8-9 win season in Sept.

This would have been better useful for April 1. I can't believe I almost fell for it but I went to the saints forums and found nothing regarding this because they would definitely have brought it up.

No trill. I'm just an idiot and didn't realize the article was 2 months old. Rmilia1 = dumb

+1 for owning up.

Well I didn't have a ton of wiggle room lol

If and when he does get fired...

"Ron Rivera no longer 'tied up' by Panthers.'

 

[shopson67]

I haven't seen anything about a Rivera firing.

What happened to the Rex getting fired rumors?

Reportedly a power play to get Cardale in the game per local radio. That's a rumor about a rumor though, lol.

Now he can go make Machete Kills 2.

Lame thread alert. Old story. My bad. Abort the thread. Mission failure lol

It's a message board, posters wiggle like worms daily.

He'll easily find another job. I thought he was a decent coach but it's hard to be consistently great.

 

[OregonDucks]

the NFL needs to calm down and let coaches do their thing for Godsake. The guy took the franchise to the superbowl last year and went 15-1 last season! He has one bad year after several good years and they fire him?

Good luck Carolina bad move.

No way he just went to the super bowl. This would look really bad on Carolina.

 

[PDay8810]

kinda proves the point...some read headlines and dive all in

 

[Duffman]

The Broncos fired John Fox despite winning the division every year he was Head Coach and they lost a SB too.

Don't think Ron will get fired this year but if Carolina is not in it next year he's gone. Also remember Rivera was so close to getting fired 2 years ago but then the team won like 7 straight at the end of the year and he ended up keeping his job, he can't afford another bad season.

But this is about sports not politics!

But this is about sports not politics!

Some people are as blind in their politics as they are to their sports teams so one can see how they are similar, no?

Because if you can't beat the Chargers.....'er what?????

Watch San Diego Chargers vs. Carolina Panthers [12/11/2016] - NFL.com

 

[anotheridiot]

pretty funny if this happened after he benched Newton for one game for not wearing a tie.
