Rivera took Carolina to a Super Bowl and almost won.

P-u-u-l-e-e-e-se! You know that isn't a valid comparison. First of all Quinn is able to stay awake during games. Rivera motivated nobody. His choice of assistant coaches was appalling. He had an incompetent GM, i.e himself. Etc., etc., etc.

He worked for Snyder which is a fight you will NEVER win. He was a good coach in Carolina. Just because it didn't work out here for an impossible situation doesn't mean the guy couldn't coach.

good point .. . however i don't think he had a great record in Carolina either. He had a great season and a couple of good ones. The rest sucked!!

His final record at Carolina was 79-67-1 so he did finish with a winning record. He also took Carolina to the playoffs 4 times, once to the SB as previously mentioned. He also won NFL Coach of the Year twice in his stint there in 2013 and 2015. I'm saying he was a good coach not elite, just didn't work out here. His stint at Carolina clearly proves this. Working for Snyder should be exempt for his tenure overall for obvious reasons, as he wasn't as successful. Automatic failing situation.
