Besides hiring Rhule what has been Tepper's biggest mistake so far?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Problem with Tepper, and a lot of owners like to meddle in the affairs. It never works well. Khan in Jacksonville. Jerry in Dallas. Mike Brown in Cincinnati who finally gave us control to his daughter who actually made the player personnel guy make the football decisions, Woody Johnson with the Jets, the list goes on.

He needs to just put football guys in place and let them do the work. His early tenure has been a disaster so far from an on the field product standpoint. Everything else in my opinion has been great.

All the owners share the league's revenue so he is making money regardless. But biggest mistake besides hiring Matt Rhule was not firing Hurney with Ron Rivera.

I'd have been okay with firing Hurney and keeping Rivera.

Wasn't a fan of Rivera but I'd have given him one last shot.

Who do you recommend?

I'd go after Kevin Colbert or possibly tempt Ozzie Newsome out of retirement.  There are possibly others, but those two build physical, no nonsense teams that consistently win.

Both are getting up there, but either one could end the madness we are experiencing ATM and get the Panthers heading in the right direction.  That would make a world of difference.   Just 3-4 years should be long enough to build out a competent staff with a winning culture.

Colbert is 66 and is quitting the great Steelers organization because he's tired of working, why the heck would he consider coming here?  Insane🤦‍♂️

Ditto Newsome, what the heck could you do to convince him to come here?

Partial ownership, more money than they've ever dreamed of, and a free hand to pick their staff and build the team.

Point being, we should be looking for a thoroughbred champion, not some wet behind the ears yearling to lead this organization.

Yep, buying an NFL franchise. How's them profits looking, bro? Not only did you spend billions ... but you spent billions on a mid-market team. Oof.

It is only a matter of time before the full might of the gambling revenue hits. As a European used to soccer games bloated with live bets I'll be surprised if the value of every team will not double. It is one thing to predict this and another to see how addictive this actually is. Team values are not adjusted nearly enough yet.

Sadly this will mean lots of broken families, but that is not Teppers problem.
