Tepper Fires Soccer teams HC

[*FreeFua*]

I don’t follow at all but another coaching change to any team Tepper owns just means another shot to the ego (I hope)

Once again, doesn’t really matter if he’s the one that’s going to continue hiring the replacements 

Just zero self damn awareness

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.

I wonder what random peewee soccer team coach he will hire to replace him. Maybe Ratt Mhule??

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.

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

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.

The experiment to see if you can successfully run sports teams like a hedge fund is complete. The conclusion is, no you can't. 

Tepper is involved in one cluster fug after the other.

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.

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.

Worst owner in sports and another reason the panthers will NEVERA WIN under Tepper.

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.
