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.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
