6-10, 11-5, 7-9, 5-7. Never had back-to-back winning seasons in Carolina despite being the coach their for 9 full years.
I think Cam Newton playing at an MVP level really made Rivera. I hope he's not a candidate to come to NY just because he has some tie to Gettleman (who should in no way be the GM of this team going forward).

In an interview with Scott Fowler of The Charlotte Observer, Rivera provided little insight on why Panthers owner Jerry Richardson fired Gettleman, saying he was "the wrong person to ask." Rivera added he had no input on the decision and didn't even know about the pending move until Monday morning. He also expressed an eagerness to move on with training camp opening in seven days.
"The decision was made, and that's what we're going to do," Rivera said. "The biggest thing is Dave did a great job for us. He helped me to grow as a coach, he helped to put the final pieces of the puzzle together and he helped us get to the Super Bowl."

Rivera, however, didn't have issues with Gettleman.
"No matter how tense things got, we always talked our way through it," Rivera told Fowler. "I talked to Dave [on Monday] because I wanted to make sure he knew I appreciated everything he did for me."
Handles these situations! Don’t wait till the end of the season? If the coach sucks ass and can’t hack it, you fire him. Period. And no to Riviera, we don’t need another has been.

The last has been we had was Coughlin.
McAdoo and Shurmur were never was.
A lot of people though Gruden would be a has been and are now praising what is happening in Oakland.
I'm tired of fooling around with coordinators. Give me a real head coach in here again.
in the NY Football Panthers. I really hope we don't give this any more than three seconds of thought...
Yes, Rivera is by default upgrade over Shurmur, but that doesn't solve the bigger problem with Gettleman. And the possibility of getting a coach who could work with a better GM.
And yes, Rivera is a much better HC than Shurmur. I would look long and hard at Rivera.
He should get another HC job. He won't settle for DC nor should he. 76-63-1 record.
Bwahahahaha. I mean he has experience as an interim HC, but bwahahahahaha

please hire him to at least run the D

Completely agree but he knows how to build a D is my point

Agreed on all points.

Ron Rivera 'surprised' Panthers fired Dave Gettleman - ( New Window )
Outside of that one fluke 15-1 season when Newton was MVP, Rivera is a sub-.500 coach
More on topic, color me skeptical that Rivera is the guy to turn this thing around.

This....uuugghhh I have a feeling Gettleman stays so he can pick Rivera.
I wonder if the GM is at risk as well.
As I have said in a past thread weeks ago, I want Ruhle as HC with or without a new GM.

What are you, a troll or a comedian or both?
Maybe it is just me with some bad lip reading, but is DG saying "My balls itch" ?

dude he is playing with a rookie QB, i dont think people here understand what that does to a team....most Rookie QBs struggle
That would be an exciting combination. I'd love to see what Norv could do with Jones.
I'm not saying he's a no-brainer, but I would absolutely do my due diligence on him.
