Jonathan Jones: Caserio was first choice, and Tepper was prepared to pay him a lot of money

[Basbear]

Matt Rhule speaking as panthers GM- " I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE GM!"

fuging guy can not stop lying.

I guess someone needs to start the David Tepper hate thread, hes about to start his cycle. Tepper wanted a coked up house pet killer thats been AWFUL in the draft for the last 5 fuging years. What a joke.

Does that have any relationship to the Kentucky Tractor Puller. Guy I worked with was just telling me about it last night. 

Not to be confused with the West Virginia Goat Roping.

You’re not the only one. The guy has been successful as a hedge fund manager but that has absolutely nothing with football. 

He's basically a football fan that made a fortune trading stocks and made enough money to play Madden franchise mode for real. Bold move let's see how it works out, not great so far

That describes pretty much all owners.

This is disheartening to say the least.

@thefuzz hates'em too. Jesus christ I know its popular to lie now, just Rhule takes it to another level. Most of it is not coach speak either. My honeymoon was over with Tepper when he got NC vs SC for his Disney world. Then the mother fuger took away the seats form some of the realest fans in the panthers world.

I just don't trust Tepper to build a winning football team.

It took the Pegulas 7 years to figure it out in Buffalo and they had owned a professional sports team prior (NHL's Sabres). 

Shoot, it's taken Haslam 9 years to get Cleveland going. 

We're about to start year 3 of Tepper.

On local radio here in Raleigh, Jones just said Tepper was prepared to hire Caserio and "pay him a lot of money," before the Texans and Easterby did the same thing.  Also, inferred that Dodds withdrawing from consideration for the GM position has to do with Rhule being "the guy," here, so if a guy is looking to be an autonomous GM, Carolina isn't going to be a fit.

Do you know what station this was on? I haven’t seen anyone else say this and not on jones Twitter

If that is indeed the case here, Ed Dodds might not be the only one who balks at the job.

Mentioned in another thread that Scott Fitterer comes from an environment where the coach has roster control, so...

Doubt he would want to leave a better situation for the same type of role. 

[Chaos]

If the reins of roster management are completely given to Matt Rhule as final authority then we should go ahead and design new uniforms in a Baylor-Temple hybrid scheme.  I like Rhule but he needs to cast a wider net into the talent pool. 

[saX man]

Peters plz but if not, Schoen may be the guy.  He's been Beane's sidekick/guru and they both seem to work in a nice role with McD with all having input.

seriously, can someone link me to a post about this? I've seen this no where else. Nothing from any panthers people, etc. Are you sure it was jones?
