Why hasn’t David Tepper

[therealmjl]

Spoken out on Rhule and said something like “we believe in and are committed to giving Matt Rhule another year” blah blah 

is he that embarrassed?

Probably waiting to carefully craft another fluff sit-down with Voth that'll go out in a week or so that makes all of us angry and accomplishes nothing but another year of pure poo. 

Before carefully crafting another fluff sit-down with Voth next year about a new coaching search and lessons he learned and how he's NOW committed to winning.

He's pretending everthing is fine.

I would assume the Person article was largely correct.  Generally when a legit reporter has 20 sources they nail the general gist of it.  Get some little stuff wrong or partial stuff.     But his story had Tepper’s feelings. 

then the people who he wrote it about will think disproving one thing that might not of  been 100% correct somehow makes the overall narrative painted false.  Which it doesn’t.   See it it sports, politics, big business, etc.   

But I think Person largely nailed it

Or maybe he got Fhule by Rhule?

he doesnt have to.  how often do you see owners speak to the media about anything.  his focus is on the big picture, not day to day.  we dont know what his big picture is.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I don’t think he has anything to say at this point

My concern is that at least in regards to the football operations, neither does he.

When a coach finishes the season in the manner rhule did and 95% of the fanbase wants him canned…usually an owner comes out and gives direction to inspire confidence.

Who has confidence in Tepper?

He may be waiting to see who Rhule comes back with as OC, OL coach, DL coach and STC. Those candidates will show an awful lot about the direction Rhule will and is willing to take. It also will show how much draw power Rhule's system has for coaching personnel. How many  actual coaches will line up for a job here when they could be tied to a coach with a two season losing record and only a potential third season of employment (if things don't improve rapidly).

Can Rhule actually dig his way out of the hole he is in? That may well be what David Tepper is assessing.

In the meantime, a bunch of really bad teams, with tendencies to pick really bad coaches, will be flooding into the marketplace. Most of them will choose poorly. One or two might hit on something good. Knowing that rushing to judgement last time probably got him less than he wanted might make dragging his feet a bit more palatable. 

Until Tepper comes out and says out loud, "Matt's our man for 2022" nothing is written in stone.

And I think that bewildered, sleep-deprived look Rhule had at the press conference might just reflect that situation. As to Fitt, I think he must have been assured he'd be here for this year.
