Fitts has been in the league a long time . Tepper should ask him what does he thing the problem is .  He should ask him if Brady is the problem and who should replace him .  Get on the phone and bring that person in during the bye week .  This would let Rhule know he is next and to get control of the team .  If Rhule is the problem , then start the recruiting process now . This would get a jump start on other teams looking for a head coach .  Either way we all know this team is better than their record .

If Tepper decided to pull the plug after this season, a big consideration is Matt Rhule is due 5 years 100% guaranteed at $10 million... so 50 million

If I'm not mistaken, those buyouts usually don't equal "coach gets a check" there's terms that usually say if terminated, you can accept this lump sum amount or get payments of the remaining balance over 10-12 years, but if you accept payments you cannot accept another job.

 

I'm just wondering if Matt's contract is as iron clad as made out? Usually most coaches don't ever usually get 100% of that guaranteed amount unless they take payments, so they get a lump sum of 50-60%.

Tepper is worth $15bn, with a B. 

Money would not be a problem if he wanted to terminate Rhule's contract. I don't think he should - but I do think that Brady needs to pack his bags.

Tepper probably makes that much in a months time.

Possibly just weeks.  Since becoming the Panthers owner Dave has been adding to his fortune at a rate of over a billion dollars per year.  

Hiring and firing is just the cost of doing business.

REAL TIME NET WORTH. $15.8B. as of 11/29/21. David Tepper, arguably the greatest hedge fund manager of his generation, has been steadily returning money...

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
