Jerry Richardson may as well still be the owner.

I mentioned it in the gameday thread but the leadership of this team still runs like this is JR’s team. 

Nothing is going to change until we clean house of everyone associated with JR. Ron is the prototypical Richardson coach. Hurney, even though I have liked most of what he has done since coming back, never deserved a second chance and is literally just a pawn JR placed back in the organization before finally selling the team. The Norv hire was solid but about 5 years too late in typical JR Panthers fashion. I am tired of watching the careers of super talented players waste away because of trying to uphold some fake tradition and standard that Jerry Richardson built the team around. The NFL is evolving and it is currently leaving the Richardson Panthers in the dust. 

It’s time for Tepper to clean house and truly make this team his own and bring a new era of Panthers football to the Carolinas.

there is zero doubt in my mind tepper will not tolerate anything jerry tolerated.

Did you forget he was appointed ownership this Spring? What do you expect him to do, fire the GM, head coach, and assistant coaches a couple months before camp? Also Norv was hired in January, well after Tepper became the owner.

I would like to believe that, but I will reserve judgement until I see it.

Coming from someone who was far from a Hurney fan, he's like damn near the bottom of "guys who deserve blame for this season".  Our best defensive player this season was drafted by Hurney (Jackson).  Reid had a missed tackle today but still made some good hits and Hurney brought him in.  Hurney drafted the best offensive player on the field today not named Newton (DJ Moore... hell he drafted Newton too).

I don't think we'd bring Hurney back if we also fired Rivera, but he shouldn't be mentioned.  Quite frankly talent isn't the issue with this team other than defensive end (and really nothing Hurney could have done about that) and the left side of the offensive line.

I don’t think he’ll be stubborn like Jerry but he also won’t be a knee jerk reaction owner either.

Tepper is no JR, he’s not going to accept the 

mediocrity we have seen this year like JR would have. Maybe he keeps things intact for another year but at some point in time he’s going to put his stamp on this team

It's almost comical how Rivera is going to lose his job but it's exactly what JR would tolerate.

Based on what has unfolded this season it’s looking like that’s exactly what he should have done.
