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

I’ll take signs learning a mistake vs admitting a million times over

realize you aren’t qualified to hire coach and bring in some people

stop with the 5-7 year bullshit like, look around…no franchise says that let alone believes it - it’s completely asinine. every fuging body knows 3 years is the norm for results or gtfo

it’s also the norm NOT to go after college coaches because history shows is almost always a complete crap shoot

lastly, a proper rebuild starts with not doing much to win. There are two main blue prints to success in the NFL and it’s not a secret, 1. Get that high picks for a franchise qb and 2. Build a super elite team and plug in an aging qb vet or game manager.

that’s it. Seriously. Stop trying to be a path maker. You’re not that smart. This isn’t your speciality, Tep (surprise). Stop defying what everyone else is and has been doing. 

I get it everyone wants to be special and different, problem is…99% are NOT. This is what I need Tep to admit…to himself. do what’s proven and spend your efforts on doing it better than anyone else. Please for the love of god

I mean, I don't know what you're expecting. I have yet to see any owner in NFL history make a grand proclamation that they fuged up by hiring the wrong guy. It's just kinda accepted. There's no need to say it, because everyone already knows it. 

It also doesn't really serve any practical purpose. Most fans are just happy that a bad HC was fired and are eager to move on.  There's no need to waddle in the failures of the past.

I don't think Rhule gets fired even with a bad season on the current. I have an uneasy feeling that it will take two more bad seasons to get Rhule fired and if we end up a 9-8 type thing it may take even longer. I think Tepper is pretty hard headed and will ride a ship all the way to the bottom of the ocean if he has to in order to explore every avenue before proclaiming he made a mistake. I think Rhule is with us for at least two more seasons especially due to the fact that somehow we end up around 8-9 or 9-8 and Tepper will consider it moving in the right direction.

Stop pretending like it was a choice between a success and a failure. The other hot hire in the cycle was Judge, and a assume that is not what you call a success?

Mediocre team without a QB in a division the Tom Brady decided to make his home. Tell me ove available coach he should have hired that would have been a success before you start to tell about admitting mistakes. Sometime all your options are shitty.

And if you think I'll defending Rhule, reread the first sentence.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
