100% true. They should have seen how bad his teams in Indy got and how he refused to change. It’s also on Frank for not pushing for Stroud (if any of that is really true). If he did want a different QB, it certainly sounds like he didn’t fight for it.

I think Fitt has just been trying to get the players these coaches wanted. Unfortunately, on offense that meant obtaining players to fit Brady’s scheme, then obtaining players for McAdoo, then obtaining players for Brown/Reich. Fitt has wift on a lot of guys, but it’s impossible to build a roster when you’re switching what you’re looking for every year.

Lombardi speculates that Reich had ptsd from going to the mattresses for Wence. After being so wrong about Wence, he didn’t try to fight for ‘his’ QB again.

I could see it. Frank made no real effort between the preseason and now to change anything.

It does include some parts of SC for sure. Just not the entire state. This is tv market size we’re talking about.

Yep, and what other community would want him? They’re definitely not going to let him run their flagship European team.

They don’t include the entire state of SC when determining the tv market size of the city of Charlotte. I think it’s a mixture of things, but let’s just look at population in a 75 mile radius of certain cities as a proxy for market size.

So it’s 80 miles between those cities. Pretty much the same pop as 75 miles around Charlotte.

Google says the San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan area in the United States was about 2.6 million people

Yes, but the team is supposed to serve more than just Charlotte obviously. The league would never approve that move. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/nba-market-size-nfl-mlb-nhl-nielsen-ratings/ https://www.wcnc.com/amp/article/news/local/fastest-growing-metros-united-states-charlotte-north-carolina-raleigh-austin-texas/275-e377f83d-bd0b-422e-994c-8a2b679ec04d

That hasn’t been true in a long time. Charlotte is the 21st largest media market. It’s ahead of Indy, Baltimore, Kansas City, NO, Cinci, Jacksonville, etc.

Nail technician to billionaire. Tough.

Steve smith would not play well with those guys, but that staff would at least be fun to watch.

And another one….

Dan is Fitt’s best friend. He’s gone if Fitt is.

I’d sign on for Greg and Luke. Tepper will prob do worse, so why not.

Just some selections for your enjoyment. His reputation is in shambles as an owner. It’s not just local anymore. The national narrative is set. If he doesn’t change this time around due to embarrassment, he never will. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/frank-reich-fired-by-panthers-but-carolinas-owner-david-tepper-remains-the-bigger-issue/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/bell/2023/11/27/panthers-coaching-job-david-tepper-frank-reich-fired/71721626007/ https://sports.yahoo.com/tempest-tepper-has-blown-through-carolina-again-and-the-only-thing-hes-winning-is-a-title-he-doesnt-want-185559977.html https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/11/27/david-tepper-panthers-mess-blame https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/nfl/2023/11/27/23977734/frank-reich-panthers-fired-david-tepper-nfl

Well, he’s not going to say “yeah, I’ll fire him in a month”.

Local Charlotte media being uncharacteristically critical of Tepper.

As someone said, Tepper made his money by being good at math and letting the data tell him what to do. I think his dream was to come into the NFL and revolutionize it by using analytical tools to get all the best players etc. Like a type of money ball. The problem is the data just isn’t there at the college level.

If any of the “Bryce was picked to not ruffle feathers” thing is true, then I 100% blame Frank and Fitt. Have some balls and some pride. Do your job and fight for what’s best for your team and for your staff.

Who do they show? Tampa?
