Just to be clear, the title of this thread couldn't be more misleading.  Tepper isn't losing a dime by owning the Panthers, the team is a money making machine that provides Dave with a means to literally write off hundreds of millions of dollars each year (billions over time).

It is a sweet deal for owners.

So essentially it’s like buying a home in a red-hot housing market and selling it at a loss because of a clogged toilet?

There is zero chance he sells the franchise. There is a legit chance he tells Fitterer to can Rhule and bring in the right coach. 
 

Tepper basically burned the entire first year trying to learn the league with RR and Hurney. Then he let Hurney hire Rhule. His mistake is that he didn’t clean house from the beginning. BUT…..he probably was just trying to gain familiarity with ownership. 
 

If you have your GM that you trust (presumably he does in Fitt) then you let him pick his coaching staff.

Yup a full happy stadium on a consistent basis outweighs the financial loss of paying Rhule to go away. If we were horrible last year and steadily improving with a young team it would be one thing, but Rhule has traded/gambled a lot of capital away to try to mask his coaching deficiencies. The Jets were smart enough to not give him full control and then stole 3 draft picks from us for Sam Darnold...That's getting played by one of the worst NFL franchises in the league

I imagine at the owners meeting he's going to be laughed at quiet a bit. I mean how many times has Rivera and Rhule embarrassed him? I mean I don't see a guy with Brass Balls selling the team. I also don't see him losing for too long either. 

Yeah, this can't be anything close to what Tepper imagined would happen when he swept in a paid a record amount to a college coach from a mid-tier football school.  He's got to be pissed with himself.

Hopefully Dave is already taking steps to rectify the situation.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
