DAVID TEPPER: WHY WILL NEXT YEAR BE DIFFERENT IF YOU KEEP MATT RHULE???

[hepcat]

David Tepper owes the fans an a legit explanation why Matt Rhule is being kept for a third season.

This was probably the worst Panthers team since the 2010 season. Which is amazing given how much “better” the defense is supposed to be. 

Matt Rhule doesn’t have a signature win in 2 seasons as Panthers head coach. The 2021 season ends with a 7 game losing streak and losing 12 of their last 14 games. There is no way else to put it, this team SUCKED. They got blown out in many games and even gave up against the freaking GIANTS who are finishing 4-13.

The fans need an explanation why an obviously unqualified head coach is being kept for a 3rd season. Is your goal to tank in 2022? Are you too embarrassed to fire him because of the massive contract you gave to a coach that was 0-11 against ranked teams in his college job? Did you even know that before you gave Rhule that contact? I bet you didn’t!

It’s ridiculous Matt Rhule is coming back. This team is clearly poorly coached and everyone except the people inside the organization seem to realize it. 

Show us your brass balls and admit you made a mistake. Next year won’t be any better if you keep this guy.

Tepper, please step away from the football operations. Offer Kevin Colbert a blank check to run the football operations and you just play Monopoly money with the business side of the house.

It will be worse next year. Much worse from every angle.

And enjoy your wins!

Or... keep trying to recreate the wheel with NFL novices and enjoy your losses.

Yep. Brilliant in finance doesn't automatically mean brilliant in football. Colbert is only 65. Tepper is 64. Colbert has already announced he's retiring after the draft. Unless it's due to health or family reasons, convince him to come fix this mess and mentor a heir apparent. Pay him whatever he wants. What's it to you? You're worth billions. Tens of millions are a rounding error. You say you want to build a winner. You say mediocrity isn't acceptable. Prove it. Right now, we need considerable improvement to get back to mediocrity. Marinate on that.

If he possesses the level of intelligence he is reported to have, there is no way he has watched this season and can rationally arrive at the conclusion that there will be any improvement.

And that is why it feels like just a huge middle finger to the fanbase.

You think this is bad? The 2022 Carolina Panthers will make the 2017 Browns look like world beaters.

Honestly, if the reports were true that Tepper was one of the part-owners leading the charge to get Tomlin fired, I wouldn't be surprised if he and Colbert don't exactly see eye to eye, considering how that situation played out.

Reports out of Pittsburgh would indicate that Colbert and Tomlin aren't exactly best buddies.

There's apparently been a bit of a power struggle there.

I mean how freaking hard can it be to manage a hedge fund? I would think the hardest part would be getting the money but after that Helen Keller could be in charge of it and you would still be straight

Well, maybe he's seeing that he was the dumbass in that scenario. It happens. We're all dumbasses occasionally. What separates the dyed in the wool dumbasses from the occasional dumbasses is largely the ability to recognize when you were being a dumbass.

I'd be interested to know the dynamics there, for sure.  Because Tomlin has remained while continuing to win, and they consistently excel on roster building and talent acquisition and development. 

Meanwhile, Tepper in Carolina...
