Lattanzio needed to be sacked. The team was very inconsistent and could not be counted on to not give the game away late. It happened on multiple occasions. Also he couldn't secure a playoff berth in an expanded format where 2/3 of the teams in the league made the playoffs. This is not some Tepper overinfluence and lack of patience. He gave Lattanzio a full season after he was the interim for most of last season. 

Just trying to get in front of some of the ignorant takes that will no doubt pepper this thread because most of y'all know fug all about Charlotte FC.

Isn't this the second one in three years?

The Tepper's are amongst the worst in all of sports.

It's comical that people have carried water for him and his wife.

Soccer has much more frequent manager changes than the NFL does, just the nature of the sport.

Changing a coach in the NFL is significantly more difficult given the structure of plays and strategy

Soccer is near the complete opposite, a new coach can completely change a teams overall game strategy in little to no time at all.  Sure it will take time for players to adjust and learn to play in a new system, but it’s nothing like NFL teams having to re-adjust and learn new plays that need to have 11 players working in perfect timing together.

Yes, and tbh I wouldn’t put the firing of the first coach on Tepper.  Rumor was that plenty of players spoke against the coach behind the scenes and then that kind of was confirmed after he got fired and the team captain had some stuff to say about the coach, saying there was fracture between the coach and the players and players were relieved when the firing was announced.

Need to fire the soccer team to a different city. Give it to Raleigh where those people have nothing better to do 

Except pull for a winning professional franchise, not be surrounded by wanna be wall-street bros, and watch duke slowly eclipse UNC as the best basketball program in the state.

NFL or MLS. Instability is the continued theme.

As the saying goes if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. It's a duck.

You ever heard of Duke, UNC and NCSU (not that I personally follow them)? Plenty of stuff to do in the Triangle outside of sports though, like walking safely down the street, or returning to your car that's still there after a jaunt.

And meanwhile in Raleigh, Tom Dundon has done nothing but help the Carolina Hurricanes be perennial contenders and is hoping to bring MLB to the state.

 

Tepper needs to just sell to Dundon. Dundon would then hire a president over the team who has knowledge and experience that he trusts. Because Dundon is one of the best owners in sports.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
