The deal was, JR waited a looonng time to final the sale. It was three weeks before the start of TC......he did that on purpose to force tepper to keep both hernaiy and RR.....then hernaiy got to brown nosing and honey dicked tepper...

And per Darin Gantt was walking around angrily mumbling stuff like "I don't have to sell this team".

??? It’s was to replace Rhule after a shitty start? With a QB everybody wants to dump. Now, that’s hard….next excuses 

I was implying that Frank just lead the panthers to SB win and had a heart attack days later.....so now panthers need a HC and those are the reasons, besides "frank in da tank upsidedown "

The same reason so many people make it to places they clearly do not belong; selling horse manure.

Still cannot comprehend how owners continue to think hiring a college coach who doesn't already have a fair amount of experience in the league is a good idea. The closest analogy I can think of is a dirt racing driver trying to go into NASCAR. Yes, you drive a vehicle regardless but the dynamics are so much different that most of the skills don't translate.

Well, at least one NFL owner hired a high school coach.

They need a policy where Irsay is required to pass a breathalyzer / drug test in order to make a decision.

In reality he didnt have to sell. 

Technically no, but the NFL would have forced him out one way or another.

I think that's a big reason why he was bitter. After all his loyalty, he probably expected them to protect him.

There is no legal means to make a owner sale outside of the majority vote which is never goign to happen.  Dan Synder is 100x worse then richardson and he is in a stalemate with the nfl

Marty had a track record with his first rounders, and while he sucked at nearly every other aspect of GM'ing, hitting home runs/grand slams every single time (save for Otah) goes a long way to impressing owners and media

Marty was good back when the RB position was valuable but he never adjusted.

Personally I think it is all overblown.

Owners pick coaches, more times than not they are wrong, it's like drafting players.  If it was easy every team would have a good coach.

There is no perfect formula for finding the right coach.  He went for the "program building, team building, CEO type."  Personally, I'm not a big fan of college coaches for various reasons but he decided to go that route.  It's easy to second guess now but fact is he was on the NFL radar.

This time we are going the experienced HC, with offensive background route, no guarantee that works either.

The swings and misses are going to happen, you can't control that with 100% certainty, all you can control is how you handle the misses.

BTW, this same logic applies to whatever QB we draft if we do indeed draft one.

Agree. I like the idea that we have an owner that doesn't mind spending for coaching. He fell for the okey doke, but he's learning. 

I'd rather strike out swinging for the fences than softly hitting in to a 6-4-3.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
