This opportunity to work and continue to work is very reassuring. It could have been worse. Its kind of like (the movie) Its A Wonderful Life, You see things through a different set of eyes now.Rivera and his wife, Stephanie, along with his two brothers and their wives were in the house sleeping at the time of the fire. All made it out safely along with two family pets.Rivera suspects the fire might have started in a gas fireplace, located on the opposite side of the master bedroom wall where he and Stephanie were sleeping. He repeatedly stressed at his news conference the importance of having a home security system or smoke alarms, saying it probably saved his familys life.Rivera said the master bedroom, family room and living room are pretty close to being destroyed and the insurance company estimates it will take six to eight months before theyll be able to return to the home.He said they will stay in a friends private house while waiting for the house to be rebuilt.Charlotte Fire Department Capt. Rob Brisley said at a news conference Monday morning that early indications suggest the fire was accidental and we were able to keep the damage to a minimum, meaning a lot of their household items are safe.Rivera now has to shift gears to focus preparation on the biggest game of his head coaching career Saturday night against the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks on the other side of the country.Rivera didnt arrive at the stadium until Monday afternoon — several hours later than he planned — after dealing with the aftermath of the fire.Rivera doesnt believe the fire will be a distraction to his preparation this week.He said his coaching staff has already prepared for Seattle and Im the only one that has to catch up.This is the second significant off-the-field issue to hit the Pantthers in less than a month.

Ever year has its own series of events that are hard to predict, Olsen said.But a car accident involving your starting quarterback and your head coachs house catching fire — those are things I dont think anyone anticipates being a part of your story. For whatever reason this has been our year for out of the ordinary events.Said Rivera: It has been different. You cant make this stuff up.Veteran safety Roman Harper said he doesnt believe the fire will be a distraction for Rivera, who is 32-31-1 in the regular season and 1-1 in the post-season since taking over in Carolina in 2011.Coach Rivera will be fine, Harper said. I know he wont let it get in the way of what were trying to accomplish as a team.After reports of the fire emerged, Rivera texted members of his coaching staff and told them his family was fine and had them pass along a message to players that its business as usual.Brisley called the damage to the house significant.Anytime you are faced with a fire and your family is displaced it is significant for the homeowner and it is significant for the family, Brisley said. We are just grateful that there are no injuries.Fire officials reported seeing heavy smoke and fire coming from the house when they arrived. Television video showed blackened windows in the attic of the home.The Panthers did not practice Monday, but players did come into the stadium for some team meetings and a few stopped by to speak with reporters.We have to remain focused on the on-the-field stuff, linebacker Thomas Davis said. We have a great opportunity ahead of us right now. With coach Riveras situation we are thankful no one got hurt. But a house is a materialistic thing that can be replaced. When you lose a life or someone gets hurt its hard to replace that.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Canadiens Jerseys Cheap Predators Jerseys Cheap Devils Jerseys Cheap Islanders Jerseys Cheap Rangers Jerseys Cheap Senators Jerseys Cheap Flyers Jerseys Cheap Penguins Jerseys Cheap Sharks Jerseys Cheap Blues Jerseys Cheap Lightning Jerseys Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys Cheap Canucks Jerseys Cheap Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Capitals Jerseys Cheap Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
