More insight from Dianna Russini

If I were a coach on the team I would have wanted to bench Young as well to try and keep my job. Dalton is clearly the better QB, and each loss pushes hot head Tepper closer to firing coaches. Yeah put Dalton in would have been my mantra.

[Mr. Scot]

From Adam Schefter, re: Scott Fitterer...

It also remains uncertain who will help guide Tepper. The Panthers haven't given general manager Scott Fitterer any assurances that he will be retained, league sources said, though Carolina has intimated to some around the NFL that it would like to keep Fitterer. Even so, league sources believe Fitterer's future remains up in the air.

That right there tells me we will be bad for a VERY LONG  time. What is there even to think about?!

Lie in public and coaches will talk behind your back to each other. 

[Mr. Scot]

It'd be kinda silly to think you can keep much secret these days.

There's already plenty of talk out there that working for Tepper is a sh-t assignment. Not likely any of this helps.

[LinvilleGorge]

Remember when a lot of folks were saying we had hit rock bottom and I told them that it's felt like that numerous times and that just means that Tepper is about to break out the heavy equipment and break own through again?

Well, this is the heavy equipment.

We are so fuged. The only question at this point is when or if Tepper will become sufficiently embarrassed and perhaps humbled enough to GTFO of the football side of the house. Because we are completely fuged until he does.

[Mr. Scot]

Multiple people coming to the same hypothesis...

Y’all have to remember that these coaches are not going to work at Sprint, a lot of these guys are super arrogant and feel like they can change the situation. Also, a lot of the complexities of Carolina was how dysfunctional Frank’s administration was. If your scheme wasn’t ass you wouldn’t face so much heat. 

Tepper is a terrible owner. The next HC will be 2nd or 3rd tier.

6 yrs 70 million is hard to pass up.

6 years, $70m in your only shot at HC - oh and you're tied to Fitterer and Young.

I'd be looking at other gigs, personally.

Me and Tepper would've had it out after the Seahawks game in week 3. Dalton is clearly the better option right now and part of it is simply handling the constant pressure better. You're not doing your rookie any favors putting him out there to look like ass every week.

If Tepper really wants Johnson he needs to do whatever he can to get him. 
New GM, ability to pick own staff, Tepper agreeing to stay the hell out of Johnson’s way. 
Like you have said before I don’t know if it is possible for Tepper to do that. 
But if he wants Johnson he is going to have to change. 

I can hear dipper now. "Here Ben, run this play. I think it will be a TD"

This also from Jeff Howe...

The biggest names there will be Ben Johnson, Frank Smith, Kellen Moore and Bobby Slowik, and Johnson seems to be getting to the point where he can pick his spot. The problem for the Panthers, though, is Johnson may not want anything to do with David Tepper and his quick-hook problem. 

 

 

But Tepper doesn’t have a “quick hook problem.”

I mean if anything he kept Rhule too long. He showed plenty of patience there. 

Reich won 1 game this season, and the team wasn’t showing any upward progress. Not sure why this is shocking. 
 

Butthurt coaches and reporters can talk poo, but this firing isn’t a toxic one at all, and not the red flag everyone says it is. 
 

There are plenty of other things to be upset with Tepper about, but having a short leash isn’t one of them.

I mean, he essentially fired Wilks too by not retaining him after he largely turned the team around.

The reporter just used "quick hook problem". He could've simply said "shitty work environment".

Yeah Johnson isn't coming here, lol

He could have last off season. Not sure why that would have changed at all.
