I am not a beneficiary of David Tepper.  Nicole is.    Let me assure you,  there are a whole lot more females/ wives,  that have say so in sports decisions that the public knows. 

Most owners have never played the game. Their opinions are the same as ours.  They just have more  REAL "football people "  to talk to. As we know, some of those opinions are good..  some aren't . Nicole won't be the last line of defense on who our first pick is, or our last pick.  But she will have input.

I hope she's there to stop Dave from getting swayed by another Matt Rhule type con job. To lean in his earn and say "baby, this guy is full of sh*t."  And this time she brings the meatballs.

And (gasp), one of them is a woman

Her gender has nothing to do with it.  Its her lack of qualifications.  Exactly what does she bring to the table.  I said in another thread, Tepper ( and now the mrs,) need to hire a couple of pro football head hunters to find our next head coach and get the hell out of their way.

Yep...this^.  I just want to know that there will be some experienced football people involved.  Fitt is there but would like to know that there is more imputed.  From knowing what questions to ask and evaluating the answers.  End of the day, it is Tepper's decision but if he is smart and can get his ego out of the way...he should know what he does not know. 

He mentioned after he fired Rhule that he would reach out and  get some help.  Just have not heard anything recently.

In the comments it was fairly obvious that her being a woman made it worse, but that is not true for everyone, so that is fair.

But again, the owners being part of the process is standard and shouldn’t be a surprise. Nowhere does it say that no football people (GM etc.) are part of the process.

You also have to consider that the last time she let Dave go it alone he spent 60 million on a snake oil sales pitch. I don't know about you but if I spent a large chunk of change like that on something that was an unmitigated failure my wife would have killed me. She damn sure wasn't going to let me go out again and piss money away without having a say the next time.

Not sure how much Tepper will listen to anyone including his wife but maybe she might sway him a little.  Saw this little documentary about Tepper the businessman and watched it.  Interesting info about him and to me it seems to show why he has done some of the things, as it seems to be his MO. Buying distressed assets that everyone wants to get rid of seems an awful lot like getting a QB that everyone wants to unload.  He is a contrarian, so he goes the opposite of what everyone else thinks.  Take a watch for yourself and see what you think.  You might get a glimpse into the mind of Tepper

Ya bro it’s a fluff comment and your post was what, exactly? 
 

and yeah, you clearly do need help

I’m not sure where the negativity is coming from. To be clear I was referring to the reporting. 
 

We don’t know how much or how little his wife will help. So hopefully it’s just kind of fluff. Hopefully Tepper isn’t doing a whole lot more than signing the checks too.

You ever interview with HR? You think they know one single thing about an IT job they interview for? No. They are just an added layer to help flush our personality traits of how might be a good fit with that interviewees boss, who happens to be her husband. Who gives AF if she does an interview…she isn't asking Xs and Os questions.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
