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

Prior relationship.

Pittsburgh guys like Ed Bouchette, Gerry Dulac, Mark Karboly and others have been talking about back channel conversations between Tepper and Colbert for years. That's why there was so much speculation that Colbert would eventually become Panthers GM.

At this point, I don't necessarily think he'd be named GM, but an outside consultant type role is very possible.


This is an awful organization…nobody wants to come here.

It has to be keeping Hurndog, right?

Does deciding to buy the team count? I really don’t think Tepper had/has any idea about what it takes to be an owner of a professional sports franchise. He just wanted to be apart of the billionaires club and have the title of wealthiest owner. I mean the guy is clearly an egomaniac.

He probably thought he could just spend money and essentially buy his way into a winning football team. I mean when your that rich you can usually just get what ever you want by just paying for it. He’s definitely not used to being told no it doesn’t work that way and failing. Hence why he hasn’t shown face since everything started going downhill.

At first he was everywhere talking about how he was going to turn this franchise around and how he won’t tolerate a losing culture. His first step into thinking he could buy himself a winning football team was paying the coach he wanted an obscene amount of money, outbidding everyone who was interested, all while stroking his ego. That has backfired in his face so badly that the team is now in worse shape than when he bought it.

So yeah, Tepper deciding to buy the Panthers is definitely #1 in my book.

It really is hard for me to believe he spent this much on a team, had no history of being anywhere but the business side of an NFL team, and didn't overpay for a legit President of Football Operations.

I'm not kidding, that was shocking to me.  Him buying the team was smart, him not handling it properly was stupid.

Have said it before: If you find yourself in position to ask the question "Is this guy really that stupid?", the vast majority of the time the answer is going to be a resounding "yes".

Well, that's because of Tepper and The Horsesh-t Way 😆

If Tepper let's somebody else run the team, that might change.

Whoa now Trigger🐎...

...you have consistently maintained Tepper is not involved in football decisions which fall under the exclusive purview of the "football people"...

...are you saying you have been wrong about this?

Tepper didn't have to be involved in daily operations to turn the team to sh-t.

He did so by hiring a head coach who hadn't even proven capable of beating ranked teams at the college and giving that guy full control while also paying him a ridiculous amount of money.

This was an unforgivably stupid move, and Tepper owns it.

So far, he's shown himself to be a football moron.

Have already stated it numerous times.

Tepper needs to...

1) Fire Matt Rhule

2) Turn over the search for the next coach to either Fitterer and Morgan, an outside consultant like Colbert, or a search group, or basically anybody but David Tepper.

3) Realize he doesn't know jack sh-t about building or running a football team and henceforth sit down and shut up

So just move back to Miami and let other people competely run the business you paid for with $2.25B of cash not too long ago?

Absentee ownership if you will?

Well, that'd be better for the team.

I've long thought the same about Mike Jordan...

...never got my way, and you're not gonna get yours.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
