8.  Ron Rivera – Carolina Panthers

2014 Record:  3-6-1

Week 10 – The Panthers were beaten on the road by the Philadelphia Eagles 45-21.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera was squarely on the hot seat entering the 2013 season.  But he guided the Panthers to an 11-5 record and the NFC South championship and he was able to get himself off the hot seat.  However it was only temporary.

In 2014 Rivera has the Panthers sitting at 3-6-1 and the team is a mere shadow of what it was last season.  They aren’t as effective defensively and quarterback Cam Newton has been playing through injuries the whole season.  This Sunday the panther have a division game at home with the Falcons and Ron Rivera needs a win badly.   LW # unranked
