Tepper is clearly focused on MLS soccer and a new stadium and not...

Awful thread.

What the hell is he supposed to do right now? Hire some scrub coach because he's available or wait until guys who are actually worth hiring become available after playoffs?

Same with the GM search... Top prospects won't be available until after the draft.

So, hot take guy....what should he be doing?

Consulting with an old priest and a young priest.

New owner for two years and you dumbasses are already turning on him. Typical instant gratification generation.

Sometimes its painfully obvious which of our posters have never ascended the professional ladder beyond Assistant Manager.

Said it once before. This team doesn't need a rebuild or a retool or a house cleaning. We need a frigging exorcism, the goal being to drive out anyting that was touched by the spirit of Jerry Richardson.

When he first took over, Tepper got rid of every physical reference to Jerry Richardson inside the stadium. The only thing he wasn't able to remove was the "contractually obligated" statue (that Richardson supposedly never wanted).

It's time to finish the job and get rid of the people that Richardson left in place.

Get that stink out of the building.

What the actual fug is he supposed to do? You guys are laughable with these takes. Let’s see...

1. Can’t make trades. Deadline was weeks ago

2. Can’t sigh free agents. That’s a few months away

3. Why hire a coach? Better candidates will be available after the season. 

4. Why fire Hurney? Likely waiting on candidates after the season

5. Cam got hurt. He can’t control that. KK Short got hurt. He can’t control that. Poe got hurt. He can’t control that.

People wanted Ron gone. He’s gone. Wtf are you expecting? You want him down on the field calling plays? Wtf do you expect him to do? So dumb

Hi Dave, I know you or your cronies are reading this. 
 

It’s painfully obvious that Tepper’s 5 year plan is centered around 2 things:

1) establishing a MLS fan base 

and

2) building a new stadium 

 

...building a winning NFL franchise is 3rd in his list. All he cares about is doubling his revenue by adding a second sport. 
 

I said this earlier hes just trying to make money and show off.

This whole debacle has made me realize just how many legitimately dumb people there are out there. Firing Rivera was never supposed to save the team for this season. Firing him was an admission of defeat, giving up on 2019 and looking forward to 2020. If you were watching these last few games expecting a complete turnaround just because Ron got fired, you're a goof.

100% ... some of this fanbase just has no idea what they are talking

Let’s hear it. What is Tepper not doing that he should be right now. Enlightened us

[ImaginaryKev]

Lotta folks look at football as a serious issue and can't take losing, even vicariously through your local mascot. That's troubling.

Should be 200 bucks per new threads

What do you expect him to do right now? Let's just please wait after this offseason once he finally chooses his own coaching staff.

Original poster here....

My point should be looked at in regards to a mindset through the lens of an entire offseason(2018) and this season. In other words I felt Teppers silence and failure to make any real changes last season and ultimately early on in this season goes back to my point of where his priorities are. You guys are absolutely right, nothing could have been done in the last few weeks to change where we are today.

Tepper wants to build out his business. He bought the Panthers as a means to also get an MLS team. Getting an MLS team and new stadium will open many additional streams of revenue for him. Panthers winning helps, yes, but is not necessary for the two things he wants to accomplish. He has said this much from the beginning. 

Will any of you honestly admit you were  comfortable going into this season with a huge question mark on Cams health and Riveria/Hurney’s inconsistency, and huge gaps in the roster?
