Damn, nobody wants to work for Tepper. I honestly get that vibe from him. A real entitled asshole to work for

I think it might be the opposite. I think Tepper is pushing people out that are not good for what he is attempting to build. 

what we know…..

1. Fired an extremely toxic coach for player morale 

2.  One c-suite member left to go work for a corrupt organization 

3. the guy who blundered the fort mill operation and pushed for turf field is gone 

 

obviously I have no idea what the fug is going on, but one could possibly see that it’s not him, it could be them. Tepper brought a lot of people from top of org charts at other organizations, and it’s possible they all had philosophical differences.

Reminds me of Doctors, Attorneys and PhD's who start playing in real estate or ventures outside of their direct education.

Just because you can pass a test does not make you "smart".  Same with a billion dollars.  Just because you are successful in your one little niche, doesn't mean you can replicate it in another.

Seen it WAY too many times to count.

He's the one who hired all these guys though. And it's also likely he'd have had to approve at least some of their actions.

That scenario doesn't really help Tepper look any better.

Hiring is tough… very tough. As someone who hires about 30 direct reports per year… what you think you are getting vs what you actually get… there is a huge delta.

Granted, but the trends would tell me that Tepper isn't very good at it.

We know he hand picked Mike Hart, but do we know if he hand picked Glick and the other guy (forgot his name atm) ? 
 

it’s not often that an owner is the primary decision maker at that level of hiring. He could have been involved in the interview process but ultimately left the up to his COO (Hart) to make the call.

I hope you’re right, but, unless some good results come from this turnover, it doesn’t look good.

Never seen any indication that these were hired by anyone other than Tepper.

Possibly 👍.

The business ops part of the Panthers front-office is fully 30 people and turnover is normal, too be expected for that matter…especially when an entirely new regime is being installed by a new owner.

Much ado about nothing… 🤘

But in all honesty how much do we really know inside those four walls? Just bc we don’t have indications… doesn’t mean it’s what’s happening. Everything is an assumption until leaks of insider info, which we have none.

Not exactly hard to find...

Panthers owner David Tepper hires Glick as team president

Tepper shuffles top execs for Panthers, Charlotte FC

Glick was initially hired as Panthers team president and later promoted to CEO of Tepper Sports. When he reportedly "stepped aside to pursue other opportunities", Kelly was named his successor in that role.

Given that's the highest official there is at the organization, is there any evidence whatsoever that anyone other than Tepper gave them the job?

I mean, if you really wanna pursue an "everybody's fault but Tepper's" argument, you're gonna need at least some small shoestring of evidence? Do you have that?

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
