Tepper: "You have to have enough patience to see if things work out."

lmaooo oh man this guy is an absolute riot and delusional, I get what he's saying but at this point the fans don't need to be patient.
The Front office needs to start getting more things right than wrong.

He also didn't give a vote of confidence to Fitterer (who I think can be good in time)

He did mention that he's only 4 years in as opposed some owners of 40 years so that's fair haha

I think this has a very simple and reasonable explanation. Tepper came from being a minority owner of the Steelers. The Steelers have more Super Bowl wins than any other franchise in the NFL, so arguably they are doing something right. The one thing that the Steelers do noticeably different from most other NFL franchises is fire head coaches very rarely. From 1969 to present, a span of 54 years, they have had 3 head coaches. 

Given that, Tepper went into his first head coaching hire with the mentality of letting it play out fully. He did that. Tepper may prove to be a poor judge of coaching talent going forward, or it may be he just whiffed on his first one. The instinct not to fire quickly is fundamentally sound, but the flip side is you better get that hire right. So far he hasn't, but he's only done it once. Let's see how the second hire goes.

Hopefully he will leave that to the GM

Reasonable thought? On the Huddle? I’ll be.

    • I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.
    • Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.
    • Only way Canales is fired is if we are attrocious everywhere....  defense /special teams and offense..  There are enough "questions" on if BY9 is the guy that ownership wouldn't fire the coach for "just" mid qb play.  Especially with as talented a roster that has played "well enough" to win some tough football games and hang in there against the top tier of the NFL ...(mostly).   Now total team suckage..yeah .. but I don't see that happening.
