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

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

I'd normally call that a mistake.

In his case though, it's probably not a bad thing.

We all believe we have rational brains, but none of us do. 
 

Even if your post was of reason and logic, that wouldn’t make it true either, as you can just as easily reason yourself into, and logically deduce, untruths…

Disagree he doesn’t owe us an explanation. If he fired him after last season, sure. Why did he keep him another season when it’s obvious nothing is moving in the right direction

They’re saying “for Rhule”

That ignoramus David Newton really published that

Everyone loves to bring down the ego of an arrogant and outspoken billionaire. It’s engrained into the DNA of the plebs.

I mean....we don't own the team. He owns the team. It's his franchise to do whatever he wishes with it.

You wouldn't go to your local Amazon warehouse and demand they reorganize the shelves and apologize to you, right? 

I don't care about any apologies. I don't get to take the "I'm sorry" tokens and cash them in for NFL wins.

I'd call it more of a practical matter in this case.

I don't care if he gets daily ego massages as long as he's not screwing up the team.

But he is, so...

Firing him is an admission it was a mistake. But I think we are much better and will be competitive so that he won't be fired. Not sure if that is good or bad....

this. there is no benefit to anyone in him giving an explanation, much less in apologizing.

all that really matters is him firing rhule if this year isn't working out. as long as he does it i'm fine. 

this point in the year it's just about hoping for the best with what we've got. until we start losing i'm not going to dwell much on whether he should have been or should be fired. really just not much sense or sanity involved in fixating on it for the moment.

Agreed.

I suspect we see a similar track towards last year. Early success and then as attrition begins to happen the wheels quickly fall off.

If Rhule doesn't get fired after that, I don't really know that I understand what Tepper is doing at all.

i'm on the same track. i think it will be better than last year, but only marginally. that schedule after the first few weeks, though, is brutal. going to have to be more than a couple teams taking some serious steps backwards to get beat by us.

that said... i'm not going to look for, expect, or even feel i am deserving of some kind of explanation or apology if that happens and tepper does or doesn't fire rhule. i'm just along for the ride.

Yep. And under Rhule I really have no illusions about us being successful, so I am just an interested observer at this point.

I'm not going to invest too much energy into getting mad about team failures when we are set up to fail.
