Tepper and firing NFL coaches (trend)

David Tepper now oversees his 3rd coach. Both prior to Reich were fired in season.  Both fired after home losses. 

Next game up is a home game.  Against a team we should get blown out by.  Stadium always is full of Dallas fans even in a competitive season.  Tepper is going to look down from his box seat and see a sea of Cowboy fans cheering. Loudly.  They will be disruptive when we are on offense.  And he will see Frank Reich booed and booed loudly.  I said last year I thought BOA would be the barometer in determining when Rhule would get the axe he was destined to get.  If next game goes poorly, I think Tepper is unable to fight the patience he is attempting.  BOA will seal Frank’s fate.  Tepper won’t be able to handle it.  That’s my guess. 

*I think Frank said he hasn’t talked to Tepper yet in his presser.  Only coaches in.  Players a long weekend.  Still wouldn’t be shocked for some small Tepper influenced shakeup to some level happening.

The only person it makes sense to fire right now is Fitterer.  You fire Reich now and you greatly damage your ability to bring in coaches.  It says to every coach - "You get half a season and if it's not working you're gone".  Coaches aren't dumb.  They can see that this is becoming a bad place to be a coach.

If you want to fire Fitterer, do it.  Clean it out.  And then hire a consultant to find your next GM.  No Tepper involvement at all aside from writing the check.

After the season, let your GM and another consultant decide if it's time for Reich to go.

If this is just Tepper doing Tepper things, it's pointless.  It won't change the course of this season.  It won't make us look any better by the end of it.  Even if our problems are schematic and coaching, you don't fix that mid season.

My man HCs where turning us down this past off-season. Firing Frank does nothing. We suck as a franchise that will turn HCs off.

 

Tepper needs to offer Jim Harbaugh full control. It's the only correct hire. He keeps hiring yes men and this is why we will continue to suck. Wilks was not a yes man and Tepper let him go despite the players vouching for him.

Why would you bring in an interim coach before Dallas?

no one is going to accept a blindfold and a cigarette. 

The post says the blowout loss to Dallas and the vibe in BOA will make Tepper fire him like everyone else.    So after the Dallas game.

Tons of guys would be willing to be interim.  It’s actually not a bad spot to make yourself look good.  See Wilks last year.  Nowhere to go but up.  And frankly it shouldn’t be hard to instantly go to a traditional rush attack and play action game and make the team better then they presently are. Play to the OLs strength.  Your RBs strength.  And it would help WRs get open.

Does firing a GM send any better message when the league wide perception is that you influenced the top draft pick?

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
