Sometimes you gotta make it rain when you want the strippers to come to your table. I just made that up. Whole pie incoming.

Too steep for a head coach new to the NFL, not just too steep in general.

but in a way he's admitting rhule was their first choice but they didn't want to spend that much, so they settled for second best.

great way to start a relationship with their new coach

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?

Tepper has the money and he gave Rhule money he couldn't refuse. Step up or shut up other owners.

I'll feel better if it turns out to be the right choice, i.e. we turn into winners.

Otherwise, we look like morons.

John Mara has $500 million. Sound like a lot of money? Yeah, it's a lot of money.

David Tepper has $12 billion. That's 24 times as much as John Mara. To put it another way: $60,000 a year is a common salary in Charlotte right? 24 x 60,000 is $1,440,000. Tepper has so much money he even makes other NFL owners look like peasants.

One thing that isn’t mentioned is the player’s impression of this. You have an owner who’s willing drop stupid money on the team? Tepper agreed to a $70mm contract/$6mm buyout/and a multimillion Sports Science department within a few hours and then proceeded to giggle about it in a press conference a few days later.  Not to mention the leagues biggest training facility? Players love that poo. The next 5 years are going to be fun.

Now if we keep Cam........

John Mara when he heard the numbers for Rhule's contract:

I think it's smart for coach's power to also be backed up by salary.  They still don't get paid enough for the job they do.  And one of the problems they have is trying to coach players who get paid a lot more than they do.  

Tepper has made it clear - not that he'll overpay the players due to salary cap - but that he's committed to give those players that come to Carolina the best coaching staff, training facilities, medical staff, resources, and latest technology and science they need to be great.

WE don't look like anything. It's Tepper's money. He believes Rhule is worth a 60MM gamble. That's a rounding error to him. It's all relative. Relative to Tepper, most of these owners are broke as a joke.
