Will David Tepper admit he made a mistake when he finally fires Matt Rhule?

why would he?  you make decisions. some pan out. some don't. when they don't you just move on and go a different direction. it's just the nature of business. guy wouldn't even owe us an explanation. it's his team.

I was about to post basically the same thing. Hopefully, we make a run at the playoffs or at least be competitive. The fans, especially PSL owners/attending games definitely deserve better.

I disagree with that. If he had fired Rhule after last season I might have agreed. 2020 showed showed some promise but 2021 was a disaster of a season from top down.

I would say that if you're an owner, and you fire your head coach after 3 years of a 5 year top 10 pay contract, that's an implicit admission of a mistake. We're unlikely to ever get an explicit admission, but as others have said, I don't really care much about explicit admissions, for people in positions of power, that almost never happens. The implicit admission that would come with firing him is about all we could expect.

I don't need to see him prostrate himself

Definitely thought this said something different at first.  Either way, I agree.  
 

He won’t apologize.  It’d be nice to see him take responsibility, but at the end of the day I just want a competent HC

To be fair, Tepper kinda sorta halfway a little bit subtly hinted at the possibility that maybe he potentially might have could have kept Marty Hurney around just a little too long.

He does get how he's perceived.

Tepper totally gets how he is perceived.  He admits to getting on social media and twitter to read about himself and the Panthers.

As much as I'd love to see Tepper admit he's messed up, it will never happen.  Like others have said.  It's not really a matter of ego for Tepper, but a matter of professionalism.  Can you think of any other time this has happened in the NFL?

Firing the guy implies it was a mistake.  Piling on and saying what a mistake it was to hire this person is just unprofessional, and really buries them when they're just trying to move on and find their next job.  Doesn't really accomplish anything.

Firing him is admitting it’s a mistake in my opinion.

true and that's all i would need to see or hear, that he moved on from rhule. that's the only important thing. we all know why he would do it and the reason he waited was because he didn't want to give up too early on a long term investment. he took a risk. that's what business people do. that's what owners do. they take risks and it's kind of the nature of risks that they don't often pan out...in fact more often than not they don't work out. you've got to be ok with this or you'll never go anywhere. and as a spectator, you have to be ok with it too or you'll drive yourself nuts.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
