Hard to believe that Tepper did not get his fill of being embarrassed long before now. He has turned this team into a joke and it will be tough to recover from this.

A little part of me enjoys watching him fail. The last thing the Carolinas needed was some arrogant douche from Pittsburgh buying the Panthers but here we are. Charlotte FC is probably going to be an even bigger joke and I’m not even being hyperbolic

I think as the offseason goes on, it's only going to become clearer that Rhule should have been let go.

Bit late for that now, though.

Tepper repeating his mistake of keeping Rivera a year too long all over again.

And Hurney...

Speaking of which, some guy on Twitter told Josh Klein that there was a stipulation in the team's sale contract that Marty had to be kept for two years.

Don't know if Twitter guy is in a position to know such things (kinda doubt it) but it's an interesting thought.

Hurney was the bigger mistake IMO.

No disagreement there - they both should have been gone after 2018. The whole sequence of events from end of 2018 to now is just head-scratcher after head-shaker.

Would somewhat explain why he kept him around. I’m not sure why Tepper would’ve agreed to that and it could hurt the Panthers in the long run.

I think that was reported/speculated when the head scratching was going on about why Hurney was still around.  I doubt we'll ever know.  That sort of stipulation is probably not as unusual as people would think.

The question I have if it is true is why fire Rivera before Hurney, even if Rivera did not have such a stipulation?  Tepper did recognize that the organization was a mess, and if you were saddled with the GM for two years and have questions about whether he was part of the reason for the mess or just a victim of it, why let him have a say in who the coach is until you figure that out?

The reason for publication was to let Rivera get a leg up on searching for another HC job, but I'd probably have held onto him for another year and unload them both, assuming Rivera was not going to pull a rabbit out of his hat.  

Both had to go, and until the triggers on both barrels could pulled, I miss the point of pulling one and letting the other poison the new coach.

Then again, I don't own an NFL team so I guess the question is moot.

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
