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 understand Tepper is rich but that doesn't mean he knows what he is doing as an NFL owner. I said it before, Tepper is the dumbest owner in the NFL period.  

Come on - Snyder hired Rivera and Hurney

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.

If my wife is any indication, women can REALLY analyze people. Maybe she had a weird hunch about Rhule but Tepper was enamored by those meatballs.

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
