CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers have announced that they have signed head coach Ron Rivera to a two-year extension.
“I’m very excited about it because I really like where we are as a football team,” Rivera said. “We’ve done some really good things and we have an opportunity to do more. Things are in place and we can continue this success. We’ve had consistency of winning and we’ve gone to the playoffs four out of five years.
“This is a tremendous place with tremendous support from ownership and the people that work in the organization. And I really appreciate the support we’ve gotten from our fans in the Carolinas. That’s a big reason why I want to continue my association with this organization.”
This extension for Rivera, which has been in the works since September, is a big step toward stabilizing the football side, says the Panthers.
