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?

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
