Let’s get this out of the way: Ron Rivera joining the Kansas City Chiefs in any way is a total pipe dream. Rumors are not swirling. The notion has little-to-no bearing in reality. It’s complete conjecture on my part, a move that would require a ridiculous number of planets to properly align.
Still, it’s worth discussing.
In case you did not know, the Carolina Panthers sent their longtime head coach, their Super Bowl-winning head coach, packing with four games left in the regular season. It’s a team’s desperate attempt to get ahead of the coach-less pack as the year draws to a close, a franchise willing to trade a (good) known commodity for the sake of unearthing a hidden gem.
