Unbelievable that two seasons in a row David Tepper has fired a coach in-season. Within the last 5 seasons he has fired 3 head coaches in-season. He is a clown.
 

Reich was a BAD coach but he should have had a chance to finish the season. Rivera had bad starts in his first two seasons and both times finished strong. Panthers already have a rep for being garbage and now it’s certified and registered with the government.

The real person who should be fired is Scott Fitterer and David Tepper should take a trip to Pittsburgh and not come back.

I feel like he needed fired mid season to evaluate players and others now. Who knows, perhaps there is a wilks here who can properly motivate the players and scheme better and we actually get to see some guys shine and develop. What if one of them could be Bryce Young? I'm excited to see how the team does with anybody else at the helm and see if anyone turns out to be a pleasant surprise sort of like Foreman became

It's sad that the exact scenario you described happened last year and Tepper decided not to run it back. To me it doesn't matter what happens the rest of the season because Tepper won't see the value in it.

This one was incredibly stupid and short sighted. No good head coach candidate will want to come here now. Rhule was given too long of a leash and needed to be fired after his second season. And Rivera was only kept around for continuity at the time. Tepper is too hasty when he needs to wait, and waits too long when he shouldn’t. Whatever he does, he manages to do wrong. Just wait for him to move the team because he doesn’t have fan support for his shitty product. I think the NFL has wanted this franchise moved for a while which was part of the public lynching of Jerry Richardson for about a decade going back to making him the villain in cba negotiations, but before that he was always viewed as a family oriented players owner who connected with players based on being the only owner to play in the league. The NFL wanted a newer, richer owner with no local connections to open up the possibility of a move. Don’t ever forget they made a Broncos fan head official for our Super Bowl against the Broncos.

I will say, Frank should've been jettisoned weeks ago as he showed almost immediately that he was in over his head and had no clue what to do here. There is zero reason to hold onto him any longer.

Rivera - Cam made him, he has continued to show he's average at best. It was time for him to get his papers.

Rhule - Talked his way into an extra year that he should not have gotten. 

I would rather rip the bandaid off when a clear mistake has been made versus hold onto Reich hoping that he will magically be the opposite of what he has always been and set us back even further.

Speaking of setting us back even further - all of this is for nothing if Fit isn't given his papers as well. This roster from top to bottom is totally void of talent, and he made all of the moves to create it.

The guy is a financial genius who allows his ego to get in the way. As smart as he is he better do a self assessment and check that ego soon.

He won't. If anything I expect he will get even more involved. We might see him on the sidelines on gameday holding a clipboard at this point.

To be fair, Rivera should of been fires the first year Tepper got here, we were all begging for Matt Rhule to be fired a year earlier, and now obviously Frank is a disaster. I'd think it would be more upsetting If he hadn't have fired 3 coaches in 4 years.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
