Presser tomorrow at 11...

So did Richardson never provide refreshments? :thinking:

Years ago at my old company, the big boss got fired and a new boss was brought in. He threw a pizza party to introduce himself and talk about things going forward. Right after that meeting he fired like 15 people. So in my book, refreshments mean firings incoming.

The coaching staff is safe.  Can't rebuild a coaching staff right before training camp.

Anyone else is fair game.  May not be any changes, but yeah it's possible.

I don't expect Tepper to come in and do clean sweep right away but I'm expecting he'll take it methodically.

What do I want to see happen?

In the words of the man himself WIN!

What I don't want to see happen?

A continuity of the mediocrity that became the norm under JR and his staff

What do I expect to happen?

WIN! WIN! WIN! WIN!

Rephrase the questions, kinda?  Sure, it's kinda the same thing, but a smidge different...

  • What should Tepper START doing?
  • What should Tepper STOP doing?
  • What should Tepper CONTINUE doing?

Fair enough. Feel free to answer however you like.

I'll try*.....

START:  decide if you're going to be a hands-ON or hands-OFF owner, and surround yourself with The Best People possible to achieve success

STOP:  ignoring what the fans are clamoring for (that seems reasonable, of course). If the number one way to say THIS IS OUR HOUSE and improve fan satisfaction is to put the logo at mid-field? That's a low low cost to pay, and will make an immediate statement that this is a new era. If the number one thing fans want is something else -- you're not new to the NFL , steal ideas from everyone else and implement those.

CONTINUE: hey, some traditions are worthwhile to keep intact. STAND AND CHEER played at every score? YES!!!! 

 

*disclaimer: I really have no idea what I'm talking about. I bow to the rest of you here on The Huddle(tm) with your [seriously!] more informed commentary.

In that case, here is to having plenty of refreshments!

Stay the course for now.

Mass firings and chaos just before the season starts.

- What do you expect to happen?

I expect Hurney and Rivera remain in place as long as the team wins at least 2 playoff games this year.

As long as the Panthers continue to build on their previous season's success H&R will likely keep their jobs

If the team should falter along the way, I don't expect Tepper to provide a lot of wiggle room for either coach or gm.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
