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

Even entertaining the idea that the owner of a team would 'apologize' or 'admit' a bad decision to the fans is some really weird fan fiction. Why are there grown men so obsessed with getting some rich asshole admit defeat on something? He doesn't care about you, and he's not going to apologize, so why waste your time worrying about it? Even if he did apologize, would it somehow undo the last few shitty years? And if he hires your dream coach and that guy flops as well, are YOU going to apologize to all of us for never shutting the fug up about it?

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

Losing CMC to injury for the majority of the year was devastating. Also Horn on defense and for what it’s worth… Darnold. 
 

You have to give guys a chance to build, otherwise nobody would take the job. Unless of course their character becomes an issue.

We were heading in the right direction in 2020 we went toe to toe with the Chiefs, Saints, and Packers that year with Teddy. Everyone has soured on Rhule because of his terrible decision to trade for Sam Darnold. I stand by the fact that Darnold made the entire team look like trash along with Rhule because of inexplicably bad he was last season. If we had managed to get Stafford last year I guarantee you there wouldn't be posters clamoring to fire Rhule and millions of threads about how bad he is. QB play dictates everything in this league.

Somebody mentioned no apology to Jags fans for Urban Meyer.  I don't remember one to Bucs fans for Schiano.  I may have (honestly) missed it, but I don't remember an apology to Eagles fans for giving Kelly "full control" of personnel, which started his swirl down with the Ty-D-Bowl Man (I think his demise was inevitable, but that accelerated it).  I don't remember the 49ers organization (or disorganization at that point) apologizing for hiring Mr. Dunkin Donuts 2015, Jim Tomsula.

If none of those fairly recent screw-ups got an apology, why would anyone expect one from Tepper if and when he dispatches Rhule?

I don't agree than any firing of a HC prior to the end of their contract is a mistake.  Was Jerrah Jones hiring Johnson a mistake?  I do think if a HC gets fired without making the playoffs, at a minimum, you can infer their hiring was a mistake unless the organization sabotaged that effort purposely or through incompetence.  If the organization is the problem, them hiring any HC is a mistake until they unfug themselves.

My significant other would say Jones being an NFL owner is the mistake.

Why would anyone want to see a reenactment of the Al Davis-Lane Kiffin breakup? That's the only time I can recall that an owner apologized for making a wrong hire or admitted making a mistake of that magnitude. He even had an overhead projector brought out for some portion of the presentation on just how awful Kiffen was as a head coach. Embarrassing I would think for a fanbase.

      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.
