Mr. Scot

Give it time. Who's the soccer equivalent of Marty Hurney?

My question with Kubiak would be does his dad come along to help him.

As receivers coach. He was promoted to OC after Reich left but wound up fired after two seasons. Those two seasons are his only experience as an OC. I do remember his dad at UVA.

Why I'd look at a guy like Colbert. There's no shortage of people who'd be willing to tell Tepper he's a dumbsh-t. The hard part is finding someone he might actually listen to.

Kinda surprised we haven't heard anything about Pat Shurmur. Shurmur wasn't a good head coach but he's been a great OC for more than one team. He's also got a connection here in Jeff Nixon. The two of them were on staff together some years back in Philly. Mind you, if Nixon wants the job himself, that might make him less likely to recommend Shurmur, but hey...

Colbert has helped the Steelers to multiple postseason (including Super Bowl) wins as a GM. David Tepper has helped his team to nothing but losing seasons. My word to Tepper would be "That guy knows something you don't. Maybe you should listen to him."

We have a GM. What Tepper lacks is any sense of how an NFL team should function and what kind of people should be running it. A guy who oversaw only one losing season in twenty plus years would be able to speak on that.

Who has confidence in Tepper?

That's what I'm hoping for. We already have a GM that I think is going to be okay. Just need somebody that David Tepper might listen to in order to help get the team organizational structure right and hopefully help him understand who he should trust. (and who he shouldn't)

Also did it the year before in Detroit.

He always has been. Gantt confirmed that a while back.

That explains a lot.

There are certainly bad ones, but if I'm being honest I can't think of any ref I dislike as much as I do our own head coach right now

There's things you can do. But even if you have to wait, bring him aboard regardless.

My personal favorite: What makes you think you know jack sh-t about building a winning football team?

6. Why haven't you reached out to Kevin Colbert?

Wish I were. But if the lesson he's learned in all this is that he needs to believe more in his own judgment instead of others, he really is an absolute moron.

Like Marty Hurney? Tepper already has a history of believing in the wrong people. I'm not up for continuing to trust him in this sort of situation.

Kubiak has a good football pedigree and runs the right kind of system. That, plus his dad kicked our ass in the Super Bowl.

Yeah, sorry but the whole alpha male, "won't accept failure" thing sounds great in the movies. In the real world, it doesn't truly work. The problem is you can't just will something to happen if you're not smart enough to make the right decisions. So far, there's been no indication that David Tepper has that kind of intelligence. And the reality is that if he doesn't have the right sort of smarts, it isn't gonna matter how determined he is. He's still going to fail.

2028 is the year Tepper bought the team.

On NFL.com, that's how they're ranked.

There's a similar show coming soon to MTV that follows the exploits of Panthers ownership. It's called "Dumbass".

Next year, we shoot for Number One!

Guess it's just kind of coincidental that all the "bad" coaches happened to be among the guys he had the least connection with. Weird, huh?
