what a relief it was to get rid of all that Richardson nepotism amirite boyz 

in fairness it didn’t exactly seem easy to do worse that JR by just about all measurements…

somehow Tepper made it look like a piece of fuging cake

weird to say how much I miss JR and his slightly below average ways

I want to know what football people are helping with this decision because it sounds a lot like the way he went about the process last time. Mr self-assured.

Tepper’s not hiring help. Many new owners will reach out and hire search firms (like Korn Ferry) or well-worn advisors (like Ron Wolf or Ernie Accorsi). In some cases it’s to give them cover in the face of inexperience—if things go wrong, it’s much easier to explain it if you have somewhere to point the finger. Tepper, to his credit, has no plans to go that route
 

So as they’ve gotten going, and the Panthers are starting to narrow their list, and doing all kinds of background work (one advantage to moving on from Rivera when they did was being able to start in earnest on that), Tepper himself is running point.

“It’ll be primarily by the organization,” he said. “That doesn’t mean I won’t have a couple people I might listen to. If I talk to a couple of my fellow owners about different things, it doesn’t mean I won’t do that. But if you’re asking about formally hiring a search firm, I don’t think we’ll be formally hiring a search firm. That doesn’t mean I won’t talk to people who may be at search firms, that doesn’t mean I won’t talk to other owners.

She probably knows more about business/contracts and football than 75% of this board.

This doesn’t really make sense. Business, contracts, and football are all not only very broad subjects but very different and a specialist at one isn’t at the other.

To that point, I highly doubt she knows more about hiring a HC than a lot of people, Tepper included. Just because they’re owners doesn’t mean poo.

Overall there is zero evidence the people making the decisions are able to made good ones, in fact, quite the contrary.

However, there ARE specialists in making these kind of decisions. JR hired consultants that led to a hire that led to a Super Bowl. 
 

However when an owner who has already solidified himself with the worst results a company has seen in 30 years says fug those consultants, I’ll still make these decisions and now include my wife…well it’s pretty clear to any average person this is just some dumb poo.

Hiring an agency to help out would give you the exact same line-up of coaches. It is not a mystery who the top available coaches are. Three years ago they would have suggested Rhule as well. This is why you hire a good GM and assistant GM. It should be their job to find a HC.

Obviously this was the missing link the last go round.

Maybe this is kind of like when Robert California's wife wanted a job at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin.  (Season 8 episode 9...yes I'm that much of a nerd)

Amazing episode. When Michael left the show dipped drastically, but there were still some gems like this one. Robert California carried

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
