NFL-OT | WEEK 14 | It's the most wonderful time of the year
- Thread starter Himynameischris
- Start date
Grover made it. Hasn't posted much since Cam went down though due to immense sorrow.
Minority coach who's actually been to a Super Bowl gets fired.
Mediocre white coaches like Kitchens, Schurmur, Garrett and Quinn keep their jobs.
Gee I wonder why.

Good one.
10 catches for 125 all year. How will they ever replace that elite level of production?
Not even that, they are cleaning house.
Their scouting department is getting a major shake
They'll be fired soon too. And he was hc there for almost 9 years, that's a pretty good run no? The timing is def odd though.
Fire Quinn.
Promote Dirk Koetter.
Bring back Falcons legend Mike Smith as DC.
Then I'll break things when it works and they win a Super Bowl...*sigh*
I wouldn't hate Rivera as a hire but I'm not dying to land him either but worlds above Shurmur and McAdoo. It would be such a Gettleman thing to happen if he's here next season but DG shouldn't feel safe either. But the team is also in need of major staff turnover beyond the HC.
Hal Hunter should really be the first guy out the door. I know we don't take stuff like PFF to heart but when Ereck Flowers is grading higher at LG than Will Hernandez something's got to give. Solder was absolutely overpaid but he can't possibly be as bad as he has looked out there. Bettcher should go too. The rookies can't (or won't--looking at you, Baker) grasp his scheme and he does nothing about it. DBs are constantly miscommunicating and the rookies are getting no help even if it's from guys like goddamned Bethea.

If the cowboys lose to da bears, garret needs to go the next day, who gives a fuck if we'll still make the playoffs because the eagles suck more than we do
Yeah, I def agree that Garrett should be fired on Friday if that happens. Especially since they prob should have fired him a long time ago.
Clinching the playoffs first is cool but this game has a good chance of deciding the 1 seed. Armstead isn't likely but if he practices today that's a good sign. Need Lattimore to be close to 100% or else PJ has to come out again. Dropped TDs and penalties on offense must be negated for once as well. Saints haven't played a complete game yet this year and that just doesn't seem like an option this week. I like our chances though. There's not been as many convincing blowout wins compared to last year, but there have been a lot of gut checks that have been passed convincingly.
GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real talk, I think of all the other NFC South HCs in the last decade Rivera was probably the one I respected the most. I think he gets another job real soon. Browns seems like the best option IMO
Damn. Riverboat Ron has played his last hand in Carolina, but I think he'll land on his feet. I don't think he's the root of the Panthers issues.
That being said, this upcoming Carolina-Atlanta game is going to be a shitshow.
Edit:
Evidently Norv Turner is gone too? ok, new era for the Panthers I guess

Garrett isn't getting fired, his contract just won't be extended. And I actually agree with Jerry's reasoning, coaching changes now when you have a playoff spot in reach is never a good decision. Because you never know what can happen..
nothing will happen
I honestly thought Ron Rivera was Italian until this post.
Strategically, it's kinda interesting that they let him go when their quarterback situation is so tentative. Will they let their next coach decide who is going to play quarterback?
It's all about Mara. Hoping Tisch does the right thing and gets him away from making football decisions and just lets the GM choose his own coach and decide what's best for the team.
That said, Shurmur is gone on Black Monday. Bettcher might not make it til then, but PS is. Thankfully, as you said, once the head coach is gone, I don't forsee Hal Hunter staying. God knows why they decided fo hire him in the first place.
Rivera getting fired was just a matter of time. Having only 3 winning seasons in 9 years with a MVP level QB and a future HOF MLB is pretty inexcusable. Plus the Panthers defense is a bottom 10 group this year despite all the resources poured into that side of the ball and the fact that Ron is a defensive minded headcoach. You can't really pull the "but Cam is hurt" card when the defense is so bad.
No real advantage to sticking out the season to get fired at the end. At least this way other coaches get some experience and he gets a head start on interviewing for other HC jobs. Plus getting paid and still getting a few weeks off to spend with the family over the holidays isn't a bad deal either.

So who's gonna get him?
i'm fucking pissed off. If Robbie struggles or gets injured again, and a playoff team with a shitty kicker gets him...and we end up getting their shitty kicker....and we face each other? Fuck that.
would rather sacrifice depth at another position.

hell teams that were suppose to make the playoffs, but had shitty kickers who played a role in their current situation...might also get him for next year.
Signed Gould to a long term deal all guaranteed. This sucks because Chase is probably better at this point
Panthers boy here.
Owner is full of himself. Didnt even let Ron finish the season. Guy buys a team and clearly knows nothing about football but wants instant results with backup QB. He acts as if hes going to force us to be the 2015 team lol.

Does anyone know if the titans were ahead of the eagles in waiver priority or not? I was sure that the eagles would put in a claim for him.
Eh, it really only makes sense for a team going on a run. Brock is 31 turning 32 before the start of next season. No more old guys
I think, after the trade deadline, they start using the records from this current year instead of draft order from last year for the waiver claims. I could be wrong, though. But yeah, Eagles should have had a shot, I believe.
But howie loves old guys. Every move worked in 2017 so they need to just keep doing that over and over.
Idk if you noticed but Howie has basically given up on the season
