The only hope I see: complete and total disengagement from David Tepper

[Panthering]

... and as we've seen so far there's very little chance that will ever happen. Hell if I was the owner of an NFL team I'd be all up in the business too. It's his toy!

Think Tepper would hire a guy who would definitely push back on him and tell him what he thinks?

 

Maybe not, but that's exactly what he needs. 

Each failure should become more humbling. I just thinks he keeps hiring the wrong guys. I can't say for sure, but once we get the right guy, I don't think Tepper will be as involved.

Tepper isn’t going to stay away. He has no other hobbies or businesses. This is it for him. The best we can hope for is he’ll eventually learn how to make good decisions.

Yes please. Whatever follows may noy be what I like but as long as it was halfway competent I would be re-energized. This team has been run into the ground and his people are known trash who perform poorly for him.

Person confirmed today my worst fear but also in a way explained a lot of things and provided some home.

Tepper is an over meddling owner. We had our suspicions but up to this point I don't think anyone confirmed it. Now we know. Now we have a reason why his tenure here has been below average to god awful. It's suffocating for the HC and GM to make decisions when your owner is meddling with each one. I honestly don't know how to judge Reich and Fitterer now because it's hard to know what exactly has been Tepper vs. them. 

We will continue to be a poverty franchise until Tepper stops meddling entirely or sells the team. It's just so unlikely his influence will ever have a positive impact.

This was Frank Reich subtly  washing his hands off the disaster and pointing everyone to Tepper

But I was assured as recent as within the last 12 months that David Tepper doesn't meddle in team operations.

Care to link me to this kind sir?

This is exactly the type of staff that a “football person” would have hired.  Hindsight is always 20/20.

What? He had his fingers in every level. He just was better at it than Tepper who looks like a bumbling fool.

lol wut?

Reich and Fit absolutely are not what would have been hired, even I saw Reich as a god awful move, and thus a lot of other hires/moves wouldn’t have happened like a domino effect and we wouldn’t be where we are now. Fit and Reich are not hindsight and neither was keeping Hurney and all those coming effects like TB, Darnold, trades etc. 

Not sure where you’re coming from as none of that was hindsight and was called immediately as more dumbassery from a egotistical, meddling owner by anyone with a brain cell.

also a football person would probably advise Tepper stay out of things and there is no WAY Tepper will do thar

yall strap up, Tepper is as oblivious as they get. We still have decent coordinators wanting to come here for money, soon not even that will matter. Rock bottom yet to come
