Tepper is getting destroyed in the media

Tonight's INSIDE THE NFL didn't hold back on comments

Chad Ochocinco said that changing out the HC isn't going to make a difference if the player quality is still the same under new regime.

They threw in comments about Tepper being a billionaire and playing with a shiny toy. "That's not how football works"

Worth the 3m listen, starting around the 17m mark into the hour

In other words, six years in, Tepper’s had an interim coach for 22% of his games.

How does that happen? Well, it goes back to that saying: Don’t let one mistake become two.

“His thing is, the minute it gets bad, it’s going to get worse, so we better try something else,” says one former Panthers staffer. “He’s a hedge fund guy; that’s what hedge fund guys do. The second something stops earning money, they take their money out of it, take the profit and move on to something else.”

“He doesn’t care about the money,” says a former Panthers coach. “He looks at it like a stock—you make a poor investment, there’s a sunk cost, boom, you move on.”

I don’t give a damn about Tepper. He will be OK.
what I don’t like is these people in the media who watched like 2 quarters of the Panthers all season going to bat for a coach that clearly was not working 

Exactly right 

it was absolutely not working offensively 

waiting another six weeks wasn’t anything but torment for all involved with this putrid jr. High offense and dare I say, jr high qb 

Frank now can retire fully with at last $50 million from two NFL owners 

I’m not a Tepper fan but I also don’t believe he is the antichrist.

Hire the right person and all will be forgotten as was with Jed York and other owners 

in my case, older now, can’t wait this out, don’t want to wait it out 

that’s the issue with pro sports and being a fan thereof

    • Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over 
    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
