Report: David Tepper is “unhappy and embarrassed” by the contract he gave to Matt Rhule

[NAS]

I have a hard time believing that Tepper will keep Rhule for another year.  It’s like a stock that you bought high and have to sell low.  It stinks to take a loss but makes even less sense to waste more precious time with Rhule.

Seriously, if Nick Saban can't succeed in the NFL (maybe the best college coach of his generation) how can you expect other college guys to win here ?

Tepper must not have done ANY homework on this topic before the Rhule hire.

Keep this thread alive. We need as many fire rhule threads as humanly possible.

Like Tepper really reads and cares what we think. Look at the stands the last couple games not good!

Should've kept Rivera and let him build out the 3-4 the way he wanted. He bled black and blue and that counts for something. You don't fire people just for the sake of firing them and Rivera was proven to be a good coach. Rivera with Fitterer would've likely enabled us the ability to turn things around.

I just watched Rivera's team get embarrassed harder than any L we have taken this year. neither are the right option, we need an offensive minded HC who has NFL connections that could bring in a competent DC.

Tell me again why Tepper is supposed to know football? Because he owned a miniscule amount of the Steelers and had no say as to what that organization did. The Rhule contract might look good on paper in the business world, who knows. But I have a feeling we have an owner that has no clue about the game.

To me, fault lies with Fitterer. He needs to take control better. But he's ONLY been a scout really. He was VP of the Seahawks for a year. A ... year. He played football, but was much more successful as a baseball pitcher.

I'd like to place my chips in the Dan Morgan basket ...   but that's not a thing yet. Yet.

I’m sorry but it was time for Rivera to go too, it’s not like he’s setting the world on fire with the no name team. He isn’t take anyone else to a SB, it was most definitely time to move on.

Tepper does not read this board. An employee does. Gives him tidbits of what forum fans are saying over lunch at his desk every Friday at 1 PM most likely.

If attendance in the 4th quarter last game is any indication of next year he's actually losing more in the long run keeping Rhule than just eating the contract and moving on. Get Pederson or equivalent and get the young guys good coaching while they're still on cheap contracts
