Serious question: what HC candidate in their right mind would want to come here?

and to be clear, not defending Reich or saying he shouldn't have been fired. it just looks absolutely horrible for us. and it'll look way worse when Reich comes out and says that Bryce was Tepper's pick

If I'm Frank, and that is the case I would most definitely call out every bit of hypocrisy that came out from this.

Only part about that though, is that he probably doesn't want to say anything that would make Bryce seem worse than his film has looked.. none of this is really his fault IMO. He has some blame for his lack of improvement, but coaches and those that surround him haven't offered him many bail outs.

The list will be long, the job is that much of a rarity. 

And, honestly, with Bryce we could end up with a situation like the Jaguars did... new coach, new plan, better ability, and you start to build a guy worth the pick.

And I'm betting that as soon as the offseason hits, we will get Burn's contract nailed down for a mint and then promptly trade him to a team for a mid-round first round draft pick.

 

That's the hope but the Jags got somewhat lucky that Pederson was available at the time and interested. What SB winning HC can we get to save us?

Give me a break. Tepper is one of the richest on planet earth. His wallet can lure most anyone and it will still just be pocket change for him. Money makes a huge difference in swaying someone here and we will have great options if we pursue the great options rather than settle on a coach like Reich or some fast talking car salesman idiot like Rhule. Tepper needs to let an actual knowledgeable person select the next coach and keep him and his meddling wife the hell out of it.

We had our pick of one with McCarthy, but we choose Rhule. 
 

We could have had Sean Payton last year, but we choose Frank. 
 

Id say Denver and Dallas are pretty pleased with what they’ve gotten out of both of those guys.

Sean McDermott when he’s fired 😎

it's an idea but I'd be shocked if he was fired. Allen is more of an issue there than McD and even if they miss the playoffs, that's an awfully short leash for a coach who's had a ton of success for a team who before him hadn't made the playoffs in like 2 decades...

The tweet saying that people in the building hadn't been told yet means that yes, the media had it before people who it directly affected were informed.

That's incredibly unprofessional.

The toxic environment that exists around this team is not the fault of anybody except David Tepper. Frankly, it exists in pretty much every enterprise he owns.

He's the problem. But what makes it worse is he thinks he's the hero.

It ain't that simple.

 

Disagree with Field Yates. Tepper can do wonders by meeting and discussing job security with potential candidates. Tepper has to SELL the organization as much as the candidates have to sell him. He could better sell the organization by admitting he is a meddling owner as well as his wife and that they both plan to take a step back and let actual football knowledgeable people run the show. This may give many great candidates some actual comfort and reassurance. It's all about him selling the organization to actual potentially GOOD coaches. When you have fired Rhule and Reich in the way you did it's now your responsibility to market and sell your team to those who are trying to sell themselves in an interview as well. Tepper is a financial genius, I'm sure he already knows this but the question is will his ego allow it to admit his faults to himself and to figure candidates

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
