Tepper Continuing To Prove He Doesn't Know What He's Doing

For someone that wants analytics so bad, he certainly isn't following any trends. The way things are looking in the league during coaching searches are for coaches to be hired first, then they find their GM. It's clear Hurney and Ron had different ideas, but it seems we are going the traditional approach of wanting a coach handpicked by the GM. I'm glad the Bienemy interview went well, as this is who I want. Instead, we fired our coach to get an early head start and it seems we've gotten nowhere. McCarthy on that tweet basically scoffed at coming here and you have to wonder if Hurney is scaring these guys off with his bullshit philosophies of drafting a kicker in the first round or a hybrid WR/QB. McCarthy also had two interviews. We technically did get a head start, but we aren't ahead of the curve. The guys we have been eyeballing aren't even considering us according to rumors out there. Just because Tepper has the most money means he can overpay for someone else's trash. I think Bienemy fits the perfect blend of NFL and college coach. Hopefully they're not looking for Yes men otherwise we end up with Garrett. We should have a better idea after wild card weekend with some of the coaches becoming available. But if we end up in a bidding war for McDaniels or some other trash from another team, this organization will continue to spiral downward. Both of these guys will be the problem.

Wanna know who knows more than the richest owner in the league? Read RumHam's Wall of Text to find out!

Didn't know financial standing dictated intelligence. Tell me how that's worked out for Jerry and Al Davis?

One problem that affects this whole country is too many people think rich people are the smartest and always know what they’re doing. 

Many so believe this, but I know many very wealthy people that have no clue about a lot of things. Sadly Tepper has never run a sports franchise and I’m not convinced he will ever be good at it.  Keeping Hurney is the first real sign that he is confused.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
