It wasn’t that long ago the Panthers’ fifth-year coach was among those considered to be on the hot seat.
The Panthers started poorly in each of Rivera’s first three seasons, and were off to a 1-2 start in 2013 when they flew to Arizona for a game against the Cardinals following a bye week. The morning of the game, NFL Network reported the Panthers had begun background checks on head-coaching candidates, which Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman has denied.
A dispiriting 22-6 loss to Arizona did nothing to quell the speculation about Rivera’s future.
In a meeting with Jerry Richardson, the Panthers owner and founder assured Rivera he would not fire him during a season, which Rivera first mentioned to reporters Monday.
“He’s always told me he would make no decisions until after. So I’ve always had that (assurance),” Rivera said during his weekly news conference. “And I’ve never used that. He told me if I ever had to I could tell that to you guys and I never did.
Since the loss in Arizona on Oct. 6, 2013, the Panthers have gone 22-9-1, become the first team to win the NFC South two years in a row and captured the first back-to-back playoff berths in franchise history.
Carolina’s .703 winning percentage over that span is tied with Green Bay for fifth-best in the league.
Rivera, who has the Panthers off to a 4-0 start this season, is thankful Richardson stayed the course.
Rivera (36-31-1) quietly surpassed Dom Capers as the Panthers’ second-winningest coach last season. While Rivera has a long way to go catch John Fox (73-71), Rivera’s winning percentage (.537) is higher than Fox’s (.507) as Carolina’s coach.
The Panthers have reversed their trend of starting slowly under Rivera the past two seasons. They opened 3-2 last season before a mid-season swoon threatened to derail their playoff hopes.
This year the Panthers are one of six remaining undefeated teams. And while critics have taken to calling the Panthers the worst 4-0 team in the league, based on the teams they’ve beaten, Rivera was having none of it.
Rivera knows the schedule is about to get considerably harder. After this week’s bye, the Panthers face Seattle and Green Bay, last year’s NFC championship game participants.
But he thinks these Panthers have the chance to be his best team.
The team just sank $165 million into its two cornerstone players – quarterback Cam Newton and middle linebacker Luke Kuechly, who is expected to be back for a trip to Seattle in Week 6 after missing three games while in the concussion protocol.
Newton is becoming a more complete quarterback and finding ways to move the ball despite the loss of No. 1 wideout Kelvin Benjamin to a season-ending knee injury in training camp.
Rivera, signed through the 2017 season after receiving a three-year extension after being named Coach of the Year for 2013, is no longer on the hot seat. But job security for NFL coaches can change overnight, or in Philbin’s case, over the course of a trans-Atlantic flight.
Panthers tight end Greg Olsen says there’s an easy way to make sure Rivera’s job is safe.
Paula Audrey Abrams Hourani, the founder of Women in Black (WiB) Vienna, passed away on June 4, 2018.
Paula started WiB Vienna in 2001, coordinating a group of women and men, dedicated to the cause of justice, especially for the Palestinian people.
Paula grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, in a middle class, secular Jewish family. She became aware of the horrors of occupation during her frequent travels to Palestine.
Paula was untiring in her efforts to help the Palestinian cause and inform the public about the injustices inflicted by Israel to the Palestinian people.
Paula will be sorely missed by many, but her commitment and her passion inspire us all to carry on with the same mission of a just peace.
Paula was a friend of the Palestine Chronicle. Her solidarity and encouragement throughout the years meant so much to us. We extend our condolences, love and gratitude to her noble legacy and her family everywhere.

News Corp is moving towards the denouement of a drama that started 13 days ago with the relevation that the News Of The World hacked into the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002.
On Sunday, Rebekah Brooks, News International's current chief executive, was arrested. The Wall Street Journal, owned by News Corp, said Brooks had not been charged as of early Sunday afternoon. On Friday Brooks offered her resignation to James and Rupert Murdoch for the second time. This time, her offer was accepted.
Saturday brought apologies from Murdoch and News International, in the form of full page advertisements in most of the UK's national newspapers.
Friday night, Les Hinton, chief executive at News International between 1995 and 2007, resigned as boss of Dow Jones, the News Corp subsidiary that publishes the * Journal*. It was Hinton, one of Murdoch's most trusted advisers, who assured Parliament in 2007 that the offenses that led to the jailing of News Of The World reporter Clive Goodman were an isolated aberration.
Spiky defensiveness has given way to profuse apologies. What was unthinkable 12 days ago has become necessary. Ahead lies a harsh test. Next Tuesday, James and Rupert Murdoch, as well as Rebekah Brooks, will face hostile questioning from the Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport. The outcome may determine News Corp's future not just in the UK, but in the US, too.
[partner id="wireduk"]Beneath the surface, the really important change may involve a shift in the relationship between Murdoch and his offspring. Friday, the Daily Telegraph reported that Elisabeth Murdoch is "furious" with Brooks, whom she accuses of having "fucked the company".
It's worth asking how Brooks – or for that matter Hinton – might have achieved this feat on their own.
Neither seems to know anything about what increasingly looks like a smoking gun: the unpublished 2007 internal investigation into phone hacking at the News Of The World that was kept hidden from the public, MPs and police. According to last week's Sunday Times, this document has caused those who have seen it to utter profanities similar to those favoured by Lis Murdoch.
On this basis, it's easy to conclude that Elisabeth Murdoch's anger may be partly directed toward her father. From the start of this crisis, Murdoch Senior seems to have allowed personal relationships drive his decision-making. As a result, his once-vaunted ability to divine the public mood has evaporated.
By any definition, Rupert Murdoch is now an elderly man. Fifteen years beyond the point at which he could have claimed a state pension in the UK, he continues to put in long hours as the chairman of News Corporation. Out of the blue, in an interview published yesterday by the Wall Street Journal, Murdoch told a reporter: "I'm tired."
This may explain why his decision-making has been so disastrous, his ability to assess the trajectory of this socially-amplified crisis so impaired. From the start, two weeks ago, his initial decision to hang out in Sun Valley rather than head straight to London looked ill-advised. Then, when Murdoch finally arrived, he allowed himself to be pictured smiling while reading the News Of The World in his car. This defiant gesture that may have gone down well with his hacks, but didn't charm parliament.
Having made 200 journalists redundant, Murdoch then placed his arm around Rebekah Brooks in front of the cameras and suggested that she – rather than the parents of Milly Dowler – was his first priority.
Murdoch should have arrived in London with a new PR team. He didn't. Instead, his arrival became associated with the half-baked antics of Wapping's spin doctor Simon Greenberg, who told Radio 4's Today program on Monday morning that News International had been co-operating with the police ever since January.
Unbidden, Greenberg did what every PR knows to avoid. He answered the question: "When did you stop beating your wife?" The clear implication was that the company had been obstructing police inquiries until early 2011. As the week rolled on, the police became increasingly agitated by the leaks that continued to emanate from Wapping. If the aim was to get all the bad news out into the public domain as rapidly as possible in order to save the Sky deal, this strategy, too, failed abysmally.
Next came News Corp's withdrawal of the plan to hive off Sky News as part of the BSkyB deal. This technical maneuver meant that Ofcom would no longer be required to decide whether the Murdochs were "fit and proper" broadcasters. It made News Corp look like a wrongdoer trying to evade the consequences of its actions. Embarrassingly, it was followed 48 hours later by the abandonment of the Sky bid.
The same push-me-pull-you pattern repeated itself on Thursday. In the morning, the news broke that Rupert Murdoch had refused to testify in front of the Commons Select Committee. His son, James, replied that he was simply too busy to attend until mid-August (when, rather conveniently, Parliament will have broken up for the summer holidays).
Then came the climb-down. Late on Thursday afternoon, having received a summons from the Commons' serjeant-at-arms, the Murdochs decided to attend the hearing.
Most remarkable of all, perhaps, was the absence of any formal apology from Murdoch Senior. In any crisis, set-pieces of sorrow and regret create a firebreak beyond which critics cannot venture. Last week, we heard apologies from both James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks. Yet from the Sun King himself, we heard nothing until yesterday, when News Corp's newly-appointed PR advisors arranged a private conversation between Murdoch Senior and the family of Milly Dowler.
Last week, it was reported that Murdoch thought the crisis would "blow over". His actions suggest that this was his view. Only yesterday, he told the Wall Street Journal that News Corp's "reputation of great good works in this country" would allow the company to quickly recover from any damage. News Corp, he said, had handled the crisis "extremely well in every way possible," making just "minor mistakes".
Investors reading comments such as these are entitled to wonder whether Murdoch remains fit to be the chairman of a publicly-quoted company. The reality is that his management of the crisis has left News Corp – an otherwise smart and innovative company – looking shifty, cynical, and arrogant. So far this week, the value of its shares have fallen by 14 percent. The hit to market capitalisation amounts to over $7bn.
The departure of Brooks and Hinton, plus the arrival of new heavyweight PR advisors, suggests new urgency. If the PR professionals really are in charge now, what's the endgame?
The News Of The World is gone. The bid for Sky is dead. The need remains to secure the Murdoch succession. News Corp must also restrain the contagion in the US.
Until yesterday, Murdoch Senior was visibly undermining News Corp's ability to achieve these objectives. In three days' time, we'll find out precisely much damage has been done, when the Murdochs and Brooks come face to face with their chief tormentors in the House of Commons.
MPs on the Committee like Tom Watson and Chris Bryant possess a forensic knowledge of the case. They have been misled by News Corp previously. Their hostility will be overwhelming.
In this lion's den, the Sun King needs to push all the right buttons. If he fails, he himself will become vulnerable.
Emma Rothenberg, with her mother Cheryl Rothenberg and sister, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Sophia Rothenberg, from left, embrace at a memorial marking the one-year anniversary of a mass shooting at the school in Parkland, Fla., on Thursday.
Florida has been forever changed by the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. In the 12 months since 17 people were killed by a troubled former student firing a semi-automatic assault rifle, there have been modest new gun controls, enhanced security at schools and an increase in civic activism by young people. The challenge is to remain focused on meaningful changes to make our schools and communities safer — and for people of all ages to remain involved in the discussion.
To their credit, then-Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature reacted with remarkable speed following the shooting. Within three weeks, a new law raised the age to buy all guns from 18 to 21, applied the three-day waiting period for buying handguns to rifles and outlawed bump stocks that have been used in other mass shootings and enable guns to fire more rapidly. Florida became one of a handful of states to establish a red flag law that enables law enforcement to seek a court order to take guns away from people who are a threat to themselves or others. Schools are being hardened, and at least one armed guard is required now at every school.
Yet there is much more to be done. A state commission chaired by Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri recommends increasing spending on mental health, requiring “hard corners” in every classroom where students and teachers cannot be seen by shooters in hallways or outside and locked door policies. Many of the commission’s prudent proposals, including a review of campus hardening efforts and standardized school security assessments, are included in legislation passed Tuesday by the Senate Education Committee. In the meantime, many school districts have to step up their efforts to comply with the requirement that every school have behavioral threat assessment teams to identify students showing concerning behavior.
If the Florida Legislature was less beholden to the National Rifle Association, it would take more aggressive measures. It would expand the red flag law to empower family members, not just law enforcement officers, to ask a judge to take firearms away from someone who is a danger to themselves or others. It would close the so-called gun show loophole so every gun sale would require a background check. It would ban semi-automatic weapons like those used at Stoneman Douglas and the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Of course, that is not likely to happen in Tallahassee until voters send more gun-control advocates to the Legislature.
What really shouldn’t happen is allowing some classroom teachers to carry guns, no matter how well they are screened or how much training they receive. The commission chaired by Gualtieri supports that change, and so do Gov. Ron DeSantis and key Republican legislators. Gualtieri, who changed his thinking during the commission’s study, suggests at least one teacher could have shot and stopped the Stoneman Douglas shooter if he had been armed. But the commission also documented a series of systemic failures. The school district mishandled Nikolas Cruz’s issues over a long period. Campus monitors at Stoneman Douglas failed to sound the alarm when Cruz walked on campus carrying a rifle bag. And armed police officers failed to immediately enter the building after Cruz started shooting. More guns in schools is not the answer.
Ultimately, school safety is about money. The Florida Legislature should continue to invest in mental health services, better communications systems within schools and hardening campuses. If there is a compelling need for more armed security, the state should provide school districts with enough money to hire more police officers or licensed security guards with law enforcement backgrounds.
