How much FAITH in Tepper do you have to get the coach right?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

He fuged up severely with the first one, and seems to realize that college coaches fail 99.99% of the time in the NFL. Plus it doesn't look like he was fooled by Wilks' performance. For that I am ever so slightly optimistic.

[Wanderlai]

Literally has he done anything right so far? 

[LinvilleGorge]

I think we're likely relying on sheer dumb luck, y'all.

[Krovvy]

Mrs. Tepper will save us. She's as tired of his poo as we are. She isn't letting Dave pull a Rhule on us again.

[KSpan]

We shall see, but my faith is minimal until shown otherwise.

I am slightly optimistic knowing that Fitt and Mrs Tepper are in the room.  I'm hoping they have more of a BS meter than Tepper does.  On the other hand, I don't know how much weight he will give their opinions so slightly optimistic sounds right.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Slightly pessimistic, leaning towards very pessimistic. 

However it is early in the interview process and I'd like to try and give every benefit of the doubt to David Tepper.

It's not like he isn't intelligent enough to make a good decision with the assistance of knowledgeable/experienced advisors. 

Unfortunately, I've haven't heard anything that would indicate he has surrounded himself with knowledgeable/experienced advisors.  So, I'm a bit concerned.

[Mr. Scot]

Any faith I have in Tepper would be based in the idea of him sitting back, keeping his trap shut and letting the football people make the call.

If he does that, I'll feel okay.

If not, then I'll worry

I have great faith because he used to be a part of the steelers and knows what a winning organization looks like and acts like.

Slightly pessimistic because I don't know that Tepper knows what he is doing and this is Fitterer first time even being around a coach search much less leading it.

I still hope they get it right.

[Martin]

I’m very optimistic. I really like the interview list, I actually think he’s learnt a bit since last time, proper football people are part of the search etc. 

[Waldo]

I need to see everyone prove they are not part of our problems before I can believe in any of them. Good news is that now is a great time to do something good so have at it. 

I like out list of candidates and haven't seen anything bad yet in this very new offseason so that's cool.

I suspect there is an office full of knowledgeable advisors whose primary job is to assist David Tepper in deciding what his next big investment on Wall Street is going to be.  Tepper likely pays them handsomely for their well considered advice.

So, why would David go cheap when selecting his next field general for the Panthers?  Bring in NFL consultants with a proven track record of turning around troubled franchises.  AFAIK there is no one within the Panthers organization that has a history of getting these sort of decisions right.

Frankly, thinking Tepper's wife and Scott Fitterer are Dave's key advisors in this process leaves way too much to chance.
