In business.

Football isn't business.

As a football decision maker, David Tepper has won nothing.

Everything is business. 

Being in a state of perpetual consternation can't be good for you. Relax and enjoy the ride.

If we spend a boatload of money on a poor choice, it's a good sign that the people in charge don't know what they're doing.

I don't give a rat's ass about the team looking stupid.

I'm extremely concerned about them actually being stupid.

Matt Millen was one of the highest paid GMs in the league at one point.  I believe he made somewhere around $50M total from the team.  I think that's the kind of throwing around big money but being stupid you are talking about?

What would you have done

Finished the other interviews, at least McDaniels, before deciding.

Also would have felt a lot better if Tepper had brought in a consultant rather than just trusting that he and Marty were enough of a braintrust to make this decision on their own.

[TheRumGone]

I mean mr scot is on record saying none of the coaching candidates he was absolutely thrilled with. So now he has a problem with the amount that was paid to secure the one Tepper chose. somehow because he paid I dunno 10 or 20 million more than he should makes the decision dumber? The amount of money Tepper can spend has no bearing on whether the decision was stupid or not. The money literally doesn’t matter because it has no bearing on football operations if he paid him 10 or 20 million less or not. Tepper is beyond wealthy. It only matters from a public perception standpoint. And to that I say who fuging cares.

We’re talking about the amount of money. That’s what I quoted you on.

You mean like this past season?

Yeah, that was a blast.

Yes, and it was not a blast at all, but: David Tepper: "Sometimes you have to tear things down to build them up"

Get ya money up fugboi

Heard on nfl xm this afternoon that Mara said they had already picked that wr coach but were still going to give Rhule the interview because they had said they would, then Rhules agent told them about our offer and they said no thanks lol. Sounds made up, a “you can’t fire me, I already quit” situation.

You're talking about the amount of money.

I'm talking about whether we're spending our money smartly.

I don't care how much we spend if it's spent wisely.

If it's spend stupidly, the fact that they spent more of it than other people would have doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

No, he does, he just can't admit that he picked a stupid hill to die on. This happens all of the time.

We should feel even better about having Tepper own the franchise.

He found his number one choice to be the leader of this team and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Who gives a flying F what any other owner thinks. Tepper is the captain now. Those other cheap skate billionaires will learn.

 

Would skeptical Panthers fans have preferred Tepper to offer him $5 mill per year, and then he goes and gets scooped up by the Giants?

This and tepper by trade is a gambler that puts the odds in his favor but has no fear...that is a stock trader. This should give us finally a leg up on most nfl franchises.
