yup… what I’m referring to is do we know if he went out and searched for Glick? Or was this suggested by referral or sought out by his recruitment team?

We don’t know if he hand pick Glick. We do know that they have not worked together in the past and that tepper had an immediate appetite for pulling together a soccer club for Charlotte.

if his team served him glick based on their discussions and interview process, then we can’t say tepper hand picked him. There is a process to all hires, and we can’t 100% confidently say “glick was tepper’s guy” without insight into their hiring and recruitment process 

he had history with Hart bc they worked together in Pittsburgh. So you can argue that he hand picked Mike hart 

Excellent post 🫵.

That said, Tepper never had any "work" role in Pittsburgh just as Elliot Close as a 5% Panthers owner had no operating role whatsoever...

...5% owners are just along for the ride.

Obviously the access afforded by 5% owners likely gave Tepper an avenue to get to know certain Steelers exec's but Tepper lived and worked in NJ/NY and it's unlikely he really spent much time hanging around the halls at Steelers HQ 🤙.

The real question is how tepper gets any work done with you glued to his hip all day

I’m on vacation this week and been drinking all day, need a little wiggle room on names. 

also, if you think tepper went out and searched for Glick all by himself… then you are very disconnected from how agencies like TSE find their talent.  Calling my suggestion a huge stretch is a stretch in itself. Why would tepper spend weeks by himself searching for someone when he could hire professionals who are good at it to do it for him? That doesn’t sound very billionaire like….

Even if that scenario is true, who made the final decision?

For that matter, if Tepper has other people making those decisions, and those people are doing their jobs poorly, it's still ultimately falls on him.

He's the guy at the top, so the buck stops at his desk.

The bottom line here is that you're strangly looking for some kind of circumstance that absolves Tepper from blame for bad hires. Don't know why, but that's your thing right now.

Are you planning to apply the same method to clear Tepper of blame for hiring Matt Rhule?

maybe the billionaire should of taken your advice when he was head coach searching.  But instead it was just him Marty Hurney rushing and then doing a complete brain dead contract on top of that lol.   Then let him bring in an all college staff lol. 

I mean, Tepper could of used google and done a better job when it came to that hire and all that went into it.

The part in bold I agree with and I alluded to in my previous posts. 
 

Tepper is accountable for everything that happens at TSE and BoA… there is no denying that. I’m not absolving Tepper. I am adding the perspective that he didn’t make this decisions in isolation and that it’s very possible that the people he has hired came highly recommended. That’s it.

 

please stop using your hate for Rhule and tepper to create a narrative that I’m “absolving” tepper. I have denied that multiple times already and attempted to explain myself, but you seem to be stuck on the notion that I am protecting tepper. From my experience working with TSE … Tepper isn’t as close as people perceive and portray here.  That’s it.

 

i think any continuation of this conversation is just going to be a circle jerk.

Ah yes, the "you just hate them" argument.

Congrats. You've managed to place yourself on par with Sizzlebuzz.

As far as how your arguments read, pretty sure I'm not the only one interpreting it as defending Tepper. But I suppose you'll say the others just "hate" him as well.

You’ve openly stated that you despise Rhule and tepper. If you don’t then I recant my sbove statement. You are really trying to turn this convo into a thing. 


I’m moving on from this.

I've never openly stated any such thing.

I think both of them are terrible at their jobs, but as I've stated many times being terrible at your job is not a reason to hate someone.

Okay - bc its been five minutes and I can’t edit my above post… correction to my word usage of hate to “despise” or “dislike” or anything synonymous with how you feel about them.

Whatever's synonymous with "think he's a terrible owner".

No personal feelings involved...

I some elsewhere that they basically kicked out a flea market and neighboring skate park for this development. That in itself is super lame 

The city did A while ago it just wasn’t being enforced. That’s why it’s become a hot topic at city Council meetings now trying to find them somewhere to go this is more political than anything.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • 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.
