I posted this in another thread but it deserves its own thread.

Frank has had enough and just told everyone once again what’s going on in this organization 

He tipped people off here: https://x.com/mikey_wyllin/status/1725672747521474958?s=46&t=W75E23VenL1ei42iX22E5g

But left no doubt after todays presser. 


We have an owner who is dictating the style of play despite everyone and their dog realizing it doesn’t play to our strengths. I’m sure Frank is a lot more respected league wide than we respect him at the moment but I’m sure whoever interviews here this offseason gives him a call first. Despite whatever Tepper told Jones about “sharks” or whatever, this job is going to be a very hard sell

Not really sure that's what he's doing. It's more an admission that they all completely misjudged the ability of the guys up front to pass protect. Reich came in and implemented his usual offense and the personnel hasn't fit.

Do we really think Reich wanted to come here and be a run heavy team?

Wanted to? Probably not

Realized that’s what was needed and was willing to? Probably

From Tepper’s mouth. This is what he wants

I agree with @*FreeFua* on this.

Frank's a diplomatic guy, he's not going to come right out and slam Tepper.

But that 100% sounds like, "look, we know what they're good at, but external forces are dictating we not do that." The Athletic reported Tepper wanted the Alabama offense and we don't have the personnel to run that. This is what happens.

ETA: Yeah, that passage above this post.

I'm not seeing this Tepper under the bus thing. 

Frank Reich was never going to come in here and play Wilks football.  That's not per Dave not to.  Frank is doing what Frank does.  Frank doesn't play Wilks football and never has.

Maybe we'll get lucky and tepper will sell the team 

He won't. He'll move the team...hes a money man and this club is easy money once ur in...despite all his rhetoric of wanting a winning team and wont stand for mediocrity hes all about the money and thats it....We have the worst owner who took the crown from the Haslams.... Detroit Browns!!!

Nobody worth their salt will touch this franchise as long as Teppers are the owners.  

sure they will.  only 32 of the these gigs on planet Earth. 

Tepper isn't the first or last problematic owner.   League has always had plenty of Teppers.

At this point I agree. I don’t care how rare these coaching jobs are. You’re signing your own death certificate by taking this job

Young up and coming guys like Bobby Slowik or Ben Johnson won’t let their every move during their first opportunity be dictated by David Tepper

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
