Ron Rivera Says His Job In Carolina Safe Through 2012 Season

Found November 19, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ron Rivera,  Jerry Richardson
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers
Based on his conversations with team owner Jerry Richardson, embattled Panthers coach Ron Rivera believes he will coach through the rest of the season at a minimum. Rivera, 8-18 as the Panthers' coach, would not offer details about his discussions with Richardson. “I don't know what's going to happen, and I won't know until after the season. I know that much. And I know that nothing's going to happen until after the season,” Rivera said. “So what our guys have to understand is that they're playing for now. They're playing for each other.” When pressed, Rivera was noncommittal when asked if he'd been assured he would remain head coach. A team source told the Observer that Rivera is expected to coach the final six games. Source: Charlotte Observer Attached Thumbnails
