Will Scott Fitterer get to pick the HC or will David Tepper pull a Jerry Jones

Organizations that are well run and consistent usually let the GM pick the coach and the owner is there to rubber stamp it, provide resources and count his billions from afar, organizations that come to mind:

1) Ravens

2) Seahawks

3) Bucs

4) Titans

5) Bills

 

You don't hear a ton on those ownership groups, they just hire damn good football guys and fade away.

 

The current Panthers problem is 50% Rhule 50% Tepper. He had a lameduck GM "hire" Rhule when we knew Marty was on his way out. Tepper wanted to prove to everyone he is the smartest guy in the room and splashed so much cash at Rhule that Rhule had to accept. IF you recall, that ruffled many other owners feathers and many of us here praised Tepper for "using his money to get the best". Hindsight is 20/20, that backfired and Tepper has gone on with one misstep over the other with the likes of his soccer team, practice field, handling of superstars, etc.

 

I think the jury is still out on Fitterer, I like his philosophies. It didn't pan out with Henderson or Darnold but those were desperation moves. 

Jaycee Horn- SOLID

TMJ- seems like a bust, will hold out to see if a new coach can revive this kid

Christensen- starting guard

Tremble- suspect if we can use him more like an H-back as SF did with kyle juszczyk he might pan out

Hubbard- meh

Taylor Jr- getting playing time

Brown- bust

Shi Smith- developing nicely

Ikem- high ceiling

Corral- too early to tell

Smith- producing

 

If you don't trust your football guys in Fitterer and Morgan to find the right coach, then this team is going to be set back another 3-4 seasons and no self respecting GM candidate will want this job

NO.

You hire a consultant to hire a competent GM who will in have input on the coach. The ONLY exception is if you pry away or are able to get a superstar coach who wants certain controls, but even then it’s typically not advised.

Boring answer. But this is how it’s done, period. For a reason. You don’t cling to Hurney and not able to interview legit GM candidates because he still has the title (and look really stupid btw) then let Hurney have input on the next coach before firing him and then let the said college coach have input on the next GM - let alone personnel decisions and mix up all these roles up like an idiot.

Why? Well we have three+ years show you why. And other teams don’t do that poo. Tepper isn’t a path maker or smarter than anyone else. Tepper HAS to get over himself if he is to have any chance. Keeping Fit will show he cannot do that.

This is all ass backwards and muddled. It’s a clusterfug CLEARLY from an owner that has ZERO clue how to run things even from a basic level. You don’t keep important parts of old regimens around, you just don’t.

Stop with the amateur hour poo, let’s get back to what works in the professionals and try and get back to at least mediocrity.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
