Ron Rivera
Ron Rivera a.k.a “Riverboat Ron” was the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears in 2005 when his unit carried them all the way to the Super Bowl. Rivera was hired by the Carolina Panthers in 2011 to be the head coach. His first couple of years didn’t go well, as he failed to make the playoffs.
After a poll indicated that 83% of fans wanted the Panthers to fire Rivera, he bounced back with three consecutive playoff berths, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2015. Amid his historic winning streak, Rivera still found a way to piss people off thanks to a video taken in the locker room after a win, where he was pictured “dabbing”. So while Panthers fans grew to love the guy, the rest of the NFL remained steadfast in their opinion of him.
