syhuang Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Panthers part ways with Ron Rivera CHARLOTTE -- The Carolina Panthers have parted ways with head coach Ron Rivera, owner David Tepper announced Tuesday. Secondary coach Perry Fewell has been named interim head coach. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner will transition to special assistant to the head coach, and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner will serve as offensive coordinator. “I believe this is the best decision for the long-term success of our team,” Tepper said. “I have a great deal of respect for Ron and the contributions he has made to this franchise and to this community. I wish him the best. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers.” 1
aristocrat Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Hire him immediately to get on the defensive game plan for Sunday 1 1
WMDman Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 WOW didnt see this coming, especially midseason 6
Dablitzkrieg Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Dang. He'll be on as an assistant soon in Buffalo 2 3 1 1
Logic Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Perry Fewell -- second time interim head coach. Interesting career note, that. Also: I wonder if it's hard for Panthers fans to see the best parts of their front office/coaching staff (Beane, McDermott, et al) leave while Rivera remained, only to then see Rivera get fired any way.

Buffalo Boy Posted December 3, 2019 Author Posted December 3, 2019 A whole bunch of Players are going to come available as this is an old team and I’m SURE they will get a new GM
Seoulofstone Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) He was a bad head coach (too many losing seasons, horrible divisional record) and his defenses were mostly poor over the years despite that being his calling card. There was a serious drop-off after McD left and you can find a thread pinpointing the dropoff after the departure of Beane and McD. https://www.carolinahuddle.com/boards/topic/160812-sean-mcdermott-brandon-beane/ He will go to the Giants this offseason.

Steptide Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 He's probably already on a plane on his way here 2

ProcessYaDigg Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Did not see this coming. Weird timing too. They couldn't wait 4 more games?

Well, he is locked up for 2 more years. Is this where we go off on whether or not Tremaine could play OLB in this situation? But yes, I would jump at that. 1

Virgil Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Damn. Didn’t see him as the first to go. Personally, I don’t want him here in any capacity. We have a good thing going and don’t need another voice in the clog. I’m sure he’ll be an assistant somewhere after all the turnover that’s going to happen this offseason 8 1
DCOrange Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Not surprising, figured he'd end up in New York next year with the Giants. We'll see though; would be shocked if he didn't land another HC gig this offseason (unless he wants to take time off).
YoloinOhio Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Perry Fewell as interim HC? Blast from the past 3
whatdrought Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Interesting... Not surprised to see him fired, but not sure on the timing. I wouldn't mind him as a DC (though I think Frazier is doing a great job and need not be replaced) but I'm sure he'll have no shortage of offers. With everyone losing their minds for young offensive minds, he would make a ton of sense to partner with someone inexperienced and offensive minded. 1
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) That’s a classless move. Wait till after the season is over. Rivera is a great coach and better person. Gained a lot of respect for him after watching the Amazon series on the Panthers. Edited December 3, 2019 by atlbillsfan1975 2
