| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to another stay hot shot. I'm Matthew Spanauer. Today we're going to be talking about Ron Rivera, his time with the Panthers, and whether or not I think he's a good fit with Washington going forward. Without further ado, let's get into it. Be smart, making a good decision. Now let's go. Let's go. 0.7 yards per rush. And then there's new. There's got another first down. |
| 0:22.6 | Got it for a score from 38 yards away. |
| 0:27.6 | Everybody who knows me, knows it. |
| 0:29.6 | I'm a pretty big Panthers fan, so I have strong feelings about Ron Rivera. |
| 0:33.6 | And I do think overall he's a good coach. |
| 0:36.6 | He's one of those guys who it seems like everybody likes to play for. |
| 0:40.3 | And that might not seem like it's important, but what he does for a team's culture matters a lot. |
| 0:46.3 | When he was with the Panthers, it always felt like even if they weren't great, it was a fun team to root for |
| 0:52.3 | and that they liked playing for the team. Ron Rivera's |
| 0:56.0 | main deal is creating culture with a team. And the Panthers definitely felt like a unit that |

| 1:11.2 | Rivera's tenure, it felt like they played as a unit and it felt like they had an identity |
| 1:16.0 | as a team. He's also a risk taker in the best possible way. When it comes to going for it on |
| 1:22.2 | fourth down and whether or not you should punt a lot of coaches are too conservative, but Ron |
| 1:26.6 | Rivera picked up the name Riverboat Ron for a reason. |
| 1:30.0 | There's sometimes where it's good to be a little bit more conservative, but sometimes it was the right call to just trust in your guys. |
| 1:35.6 | And I've always felt like Ron Rivera did a good job of knowing when to trust his guys. |
| 1:39.6 | That's not to say that Ron is a perfect coach, because I think we only had three winning seasons under him during the nine years he was with Carolina. |
| 1:48.3 | I don't feel like he gives you a major X as an O advantage. |
| 1:51.4 | You'll see a lot of these coaches like Sean McVeigh or Kyle Shanahan feel like they have this new age offense that they're pushing. |
| 1:58.1 | It never really was a case with Rivera. |
