I'll be honest, the media was baiting drama towards the end. Tepper doesn't want to publicly humiliate Rhule more than what he has already done by firing him.

 

I agree. And even though Tepper probably could have handled it better I actually kind of like that he was pissed. At least he cares.

Boy, a lot to unpack there.

He all but admitted the Rhule contract was a mistake.

It sounds like Fitterer's job is in jeopardy.

It sounds like he doesn't believe we have done a good job of managing resources(draft picks, contracts, etc) in pursuit of winning now.

It sounds like we will give Wilks a chance but I don't know if he will be back, regardless.

It sounds like we might be moving players before Nov. 1.

I didn't get the Fitterer angle personally but I suspect that if Wilks doesn't return we may get a new GM and he'd pick the HC.

He could've tried actually answering the questions instead rambling like an idiot, redirecting, restating questions to buy himself more time to come up with a bullshit reply and trying to tell reporters to read their own columns in order to essentially read Tepper's mind.

That dude came across as a completely out of touch asshole over those last few minutes.

Not trying to defend him but someone asked him if we should tank... like as if it wouldnt get him kicked out the NFL if he answered in the affirmative. Not sure what ppl were expecting.

they kept asking the same question which was basically when did you decide you were going to fire Rhule... like 4 questions in a row. 

Think about going to the DMV and them asking you the same question just twice...  and how annoying that is. In this case, its the medias job to get him riled up and to make a mistake. It's ridiculous that the NFL has a policy where players, coaches, staff have to deal with their poo.

 

Like was Erik Armstead dealt with in SF in the offseason. That poo needs to be controlled.

Amazing how some people are able to get this out the press conference, while others are still stuck on, "That rich bastard didn't say anything then got mad and stormed off!"

Media wanted a "tipping point" moment to write about. Tepper didn't want to give them one.

If you listen to what he said, he was pretty critical of the mismanaged resources.

So, the question is, how much responsibility did Fitterer have for that? 

The one thing he didn't do was publicly give Fitterer a vote of confidence, which he had done for Rhule previously. That's not good for Fitterer, IMO.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
