What we're learning about David Tepper

[Mr. Scot]

Things we've definitely learned...

- Number one, in-season firings? Not a problem (clearly).

- He's got a close relationship with the Kraft family (that one turns all kinds of things on their head).

- He wants to expand the football operations (woefully neglected under Jerry Richardson).

- He wants a coach who believes heavily in analytics (already knew that one, but it's valid).

 

Things we might be learning...

- He may be looking more at the Patriot Way than the Steeler Way (or an amalgam of the two).

- Might be okay with retreads (if the above is so)

- Is apparently going to handle the head coaching search himself.

- Also expected to go after an offensive head coach.

 

 

Get ready for an interesting offseason.

Interesting times in Pantherland.

Way to early to tell if this is brilliant or bone headed. At least it's a future. 

[Go DJ that's my DJ]

Really hope he's no Snyder 2.0

[Jeremy Igo]

He is his own man.

 

Had people in his ear telling him "don't fire during season, it just doesn't look good. yada yada"

 

Tepper threw all that out the window and let those brass spheres swing.

What is that based on?

[JARROD]

He also said phrases like old school toughness and modern approaches.

Would rather lose trying to become great than be mediocre to keep being mediocre.

[SmokinwithWilly]

It doesnt appear he is going to settle for mediocrity. That makes me happy.

Tried to message him personally Sunday...don't think it got through or did it?

As much as I despise Brady and Belichick, I am grudgingly forced to admit their skill, thus I can live with The Patriot way if it involves NOT getting lockedinto any particular mindset except winning. (Something I admire about Belicheck, he’s not married to any particular scheme system etc) but doesn’t involve cheating.

I think at the end of the day the predictability was one of the things we ALL became sick of. So yeah at least we’re moving on to something different.

I am excited again to be a Panthers's fan. I don't know how all this shakes down but we have a chance at being better. There are definitely some scary possibilities moving forward but this team needed a change and they finally got one. I hope he can keep up the great work.
