Mr. Scot

I think part of Holder's point is that he had an interfering owner with the Colts as well. In that case, one who actually dictated to him who he'd start at quarterback.

What we really need is an owner whisperer.

This doesn't exactly bode well for us either...

Being reported that Chris Tabor will speak as well.

More on Tepper... Anybody still questioning how he's perceived?

I'd drive him there myself.

Similar take...

I question whether we're going to get good candidates given the reputation of our owner and the general toxic atmosphere of the team environment. If I were putting out a wish list though, besides Ben Johnson I'd look at Frank Smith. It could be argued that his experience with Tua makes him a better option for Bryce Young. If there's a change at GM, I'd try for Will McClay in Dallas.

Neither do a lot of people

Get ready for angry responses to whomever questions him.

From one of Joe Person's colleagues at The Athletic... Throw in weekly meetings with a meddling owner.

If you think the word on Trpper isn't out there...

I'm pretty sure David Tepper owns a shovel.

I wish. It's similar to how the Raiders fired Josh McDaniel and he found out while he was out trick or treating with his kids. Those sorts of things should always be done in person with the people affected first.

You think the Raiders really had their hearts set on Lane Kiffin back when they hired him?

I'm not a big fan of Cole Spencer, but Adrian Wilson joined the front office this year and I'd have more confidence in him overseeing drafts. Previously wished they'd lure Lake Dawson away from the Bills (Morgan would be well acquainted with him) but I don't know if that's going to happen especially since I think he got a promotion in Buffalo. If things stay as they are, I'd love for the Panthers to try and reach out to Scot McLoughan. He drank his way out of the GM job in Washington, but Seattle's best drafts happened while he was on board. If we go in another direction, the first guy I'd call is Will McClay in Dallas. They've drafted pretty well under his watch. But any outside hire likely requires that Tepper agree to stay out of the operation. If Fitterer is okay with Tepper's interference, then he might not be in any danger.

I would really really want to know about the dynamic there, especially with regard to how involved David Tepper is.

The Steelers experience hasn't exactly helped him so far though. I would be extremely happy to see him hand the rains to Kevin Colbert. It doesn't even need to be a long-term thing, just ask him to evaluate and organize the current organization.

Frank Smith Is the first name that comes to mind. One of the advantages you have with him is that he's already worked with a smaller quarterback in Tua, so that could help him with Young. If we're talking about GMs, the first guy Idy want to call Is Will McClay of the Cowboys. They've drafted consistently well under his watch.

Multiple league insiders have reported it. Among them guys like Charles Robinson, Stephen Holder and others. Reich's statement that he had weekly meetings with Tepper made a lot of waves.

Someone will be named the head coach, yes. I have very little confidence right now that it will be "a pretty good name" unless David Tepper makes some very radical changes to how he operates.

And this story is still out there as well...
