Frank Reich Fired as Panthers HC - Official

[SaltAndPepper]

I've never seen the Panthers getting lit up on social media like this. 


It wasn't this bad when Wilks wasn't hired. 

IT WASN'T THIS BAD WHEN WE FIRED CAM INTO THE SUN.

About to be paying 3 coaches at the same time. Unbelievable. 
 

 

shambles. 

[Oldschool Leroy]

Come on Tep, you got a nice wife, plenty of money and life is short. Why don’t you buy a small island somewhere far away from here, sell the team and get lost. I know you want to …hell I know I want you to

Well, this takes the heat off Tepper for today.  I guess he got tired of being the butt of the jokes.  It will resume after Sunday.

No it doesn’t.. He will still be seen as the problem no matter what now.. Irsay 2.0 maybe worst..

David Tepper embodies all of the awful things about Corporate America all smashed together into one rich fat yinzer.

NICOLE'S PICKING OUR COACH AGAIN 

From what I have heard I don’t think that’s going to be the case this year. I think he knows he was sold dreams by Rhule and Frank. I wouldn’t be surprised is Fitterer is gone before EOS as well. 
 

I expect him to put real football people around him this time. He is tired of losing. 

[Krovvy]

If Fitterer isn't then this feels meaningless and even possibly detrimental.

If we're keeping Fitterer but firing another coach mid-season, then I feel like most of the coaching talent pool are going to scoff at requests to interview. The reason being is it looks like we have a buffoon running the team and an even bigger buffoon running the front office. Who would really want to interview with us?

Please Jesus, fire Scott Fitterer.

Hate it for Frank the man but I think we all knew despite the rose colored glasses that being a homer, having the number 1 pick, the collective greatness of the staff on paper all brings that this was never going to work out. 

Even his staunchest defenders likely came to that realization around the Miami game I'd imagine. 

The offense is archaic and despite the holes on the roster (don't get me started on Fitt... firmly believe he should have been the first to go) there is simply no scheme, adjustment or improvement on a game by game basis. 

We bickered back and forth about "its just preseason" and when reporters questioned what our identity was as an offense because it was impossible to discern during our 4 games his response was "Good" as if it were all by design while the writing was on the wall the entire time. 

The fact that this offense after 11 putrid games makes me yearn for the days of Joe Brady, Ben McAdoo and Mike Shula should be all the confirmation needed something needed to change. I imagine he lost the locker room as well. Players have been checked out for about a month now.  

All the best to Frank and his family, it was a great story but that's all it was. 

Here's to hoping 3rd times the charm!

What do you mean take over? He’s basically been those since Rivera. 

I don't disagree.

Not sure its Reichs fault that Young has been a terrible QB and the GM and owner made a terrible trade and draft choice.  With all that being said if suddenly Young passes for 300 yards a game and we putting up 21 or more points weekly I will be proven wrong which I hope I am.  

[Dorian Gray]

Peter Schrager just said on Good Morning Football it was Tepper “ripping the band-aid” off now because it doesn’t count against the cap, he has unlimited money, and it clearly wasn’t working. He didn’t seem to think it would doom us during our next hire, but did say he expected a “bloodbath” around the league this offseason with a ton of positions open, all probably more attractive than this one.

He said he hasn’t spoken to Tepper today but they do talk frequently and Bryce’s regression was a bigger deal than wins and losses. Schrager said Bryce looks nervous and nothing like the confident guy he saw at Alabama.

[Panthering]

As unimpressive as the roster has been, as unimpressive as drafting has been, as unimpressive as the rookie QB might be, as unimpressive of an owner we have, it was still deserved. Toodles buddy enjoy retirement.

[Carl Spackler]

Frank's tenure was bad, but I like the guy and wish him well -- unlike his predecessor, who can fug a cactus

[Smitty will punch you]

Harbaugh on the way. 
 

Going to give him the keys to do everything too.
