Summary

News broke late on Thursday afternoon that the Carolina Panthers had parted ways with longtime head coach Ron Rivera. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson react to this not-quite-stunning news, the direction they see the Panthers organization taking under owner David Tepper and how attractive the Carolina job is compared to other likely head coaching openings. (0:15)Rivera is not the only figure potentially leaving the Carolina locker room. As unlikely rumors rumors persist that the Panthers could move on from Cam Newton, the guys wondered, what will the QB landscape look like in 2020 with a handful of passers in the position to change teams? With Nick Foles, Andy Dalton, Philip Rivers, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Ryan Tannehill and Teddy Bridgewater all on the market through free agency or trade, Terez & Charles play a little QB matchmaker. (20:25)Monday night's 37-30 duel between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings left many heaping the blame on Kirk Cousins. Charles explains why that sentiment is misguided and why fans and the media should be looking at Minnesota's other shortcomings before pointing the finger at Kirk. (32:45)Finally, the guys wrap up the show previewing three Week 14 matchups between playoff-bound squads in Baltimore @ Buffalo (38:55), Kansas City @ New England (41:10) and San Francisco @ New Orleans (45:30).

0:00.0	Yes, sir, welcome to the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast. I'm Yahoo Senior NFL
0:14.8	writer Torres Paley here at my main man and fellow senior
0:17.2	and a fellow senior in a fell writer Charles Robinson and Charles, if I told you
0:20.6	before the season that J. Groom will get fired first and Ron Rivera will get fired second,
0:26.0	but through December 3rd we'd only have two coaches fired at that point in the season.
0:30.9	Would you believed it or would you bet the over?
0:33.6	I would have believed it because we have so many young hires, you know, in the
0:36.7	league at this point. I think there are so many new guys that it wouldn't shock me.
0:42.0	There's just been a massive spate of turnover the last couple of years. I mean, if you look at it, I feel like, I mean, I don't even know exactly what the number is now, but in terms of like coaches with three years and under it's more than
0:54.2	half the league it's insane you know the amount of attrition there's been in the
0:58.2	coaching ranks now if you told me Jay Gruden would Jay Gruden have been fired by now?
1:04.0	I probably would have believed that.
1:06.0	Like if you had told me Jay Gruden would have been fired in September,
1:09.0	I might have actually believed that at that stage.
1:12.0	So, particularly if we'd seen the video that... I actually believe that at that stage.
1:12.5	So particularly if we'd seen the video
1:14.8	that had floated around of Jay,
1:17.2	working his magic side of a local establishment.
1:21.6	Maybe I would have believed that in September.
1:23.3	So this is an interesting one.
1:25.3	Obviously, I think between J Grun and Ron Vera, I think those are both guys who are going
1:30.1	to have interest from other franchises in some type of a job.
