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

[t96]

Knowing that a slow start with an atrocious roster could get him fired within 11 games. fug you Tepper

[t96]

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

[osd22]

I would do it for that kind of money. Getting fired mid season with full pay for the remainder of the contract sounds like a deal to me lol.

[LinvilleGorge]

Guys with no other NFL HC opportunities, guys who will take a fat check from Tepper and not care about the football outcome, and guys who think they can win the battle of wills against Tepper and build a winner anyway.

There are only 32 HC spots.  Most coaches will be interested.

[Ricky Spanish]

Bruh, you could pay me a fraction of what he's payed both Reich and Rhule to be the coach.

$$$$

There are only 32 of these positions available in the world and you make a ton of money doing it.

That's why someone will take.

[Coheed]

Good candidates with options? None.

 

will people still want the job? Ofc, there is some truth to the “only 32 teams…” mantra *but*, the best candidates with options will absolutely not want anything to do with here with Tepper at the helm.

 

we aren’t getting Ben Johnson, or Slowik, or the next McDaniels, or a Demeco. The only appeal for working for our org at this point is salary. 
 

its fugging sad

[Bear Hands]

Well going 1-10 in 11 games with a #1 overall pick, and top-10 1st rounders for the past 4 years will also do it.  

The Tepper being impatient thing isn't as bad as it's let on.  He gave Rivera more time than most wanted (an extra year), gave Rhule more time than most wanted (2.5).  He's just not making the RIGHT moves.  

This was an unmitigated disaster that you abort mission on. 

Now will a Ben Johnson want to come here? Probably not.

[Daddy_Uncle]

Money talks but thats about the only reason. There is no hope for this team anytime soon

[Doc Holiday]

No idea, the bigger names that can be picky would probably turn this down. But his tenure here has been a complete disaster. 
 

[Mr. Scot]

And this is bullsh-t

David Tepper is an absolute moron.

[t96]

meant to write "legit HC candidate." sure we can get plenty of scrubs like Rhule or Reich who just want a HC job but no way we get a HC that other, well-run teams would also be interested in.

[WhoKnows]

Slow start? C’mon, we went from 7-10 clear issues but sort of competitive to the worst team in the league. This isn’t a slow start, this was a march to 1-16.

I’d imagine that we’ll have plenty of candidates and they’ll have a much longer leash because it’s obvious that our talent level has been gutted so we are absolutely in rebuild mode. Reich and Fitt promised we were on compete mode.

First, I’m glad they didn’t make Evero interim because he deserves a real chance without a stigma attached to his results.

Second, I’m a lot more interested now than I was a half hour ago because Reich was legit terrible.

Last, I have no faith that we will pick the right guys with Tepper, especially if we don’t get rid of Fitterer first. We need a GM/scouts that actually know what they are doing. Look at the Rams and Texans. They were shitty teams devoid of talent, but they drafted much better than us just this past draft and are in a lot better place than us. Chicago has a bright future it seems with picks because they fleeced the poo out of us.
