The Panthers announced Saturday they've signed coach Ron Rivera to a two-year extension, keeping the franchise's all-time wins leader in Charlotte.

Rivera started as the Panthers' coach in 2011 and has led the team to a Super Bowl appearance, an NFC Championship and three NFC South tittles.

His previous contract ran through the 2018 season.

"What's decided, we'll see", Rivera said earlier this week when asked about a possible extension.

During a period of uncertainty in Carolina, the Panthers have made things a little more certain. Things are in place and we can continue this success.

Rivera has a 64-47-1 record in seven years and was named the AP Coach of the Year after the 2013 and '15 seasons. Carolina, which will play at New Orleans on Sunday in a wild-card game, has been to the playoffs four times in the past five seasons.

Granite Point Mortgage Trust (GPMT) Given News Sentiment Score of 0.30
Following the completion of the sale, the treasurer now owns 49,561 shares in the company, valued at approximately $1,579,013.46. The real estate investment trust reported $0.20 EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.38 by ($0.18).

Becker was promoted to COO after owner Jerry Richardson said he would sell the team in the wake of allegations of workplace misconduct.

Rivera was brought to Carolina for his defensive expertise, and the Panthers put together four consecutive top-10 finishes in yards allowed from 2012-15, joining Seattle as the only teams to do so.

Carolina ranked ninth in Football Outsiders' defense-adjusted value over average metric this season. "That's a big reason why I want to continue my association with this organization".

Carolina has produced 28 Pro Bowl and 18 All-Pro selections, including four-time All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly and 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton.

If Carolina and coach Rivera hope to extend their season, nearly flawless play will be needed in all three phases of the game - offense, defense and special teams.
