Hmm, let's see.....

Option 1 - Go to Chargers with an already established franchise QB and weapons with very good players on defense.

Option 2 - Bet your coaching career with a potential bust of a QB, no weapons, no draft picks, and a meddling owner.

That sure is a hard one.

option 2 might pay 2x more though

He just needs to hire people he trusts enough to leave them the fug alone and let them do their job.

He did that IMO with mat rhule.  The problem is Tepper doesn't know enough about football to make the right decisions about major hires.  Even JR with his extensive football knowledge ,  went with outside professional advice at times.  It might not always work out, but it has a hell of a lot better chance of succeeding than wetting your finger,  sticking it into the wind and adding in the sage advice of a wife who knows even less about it than you do.

I wouldn’t say Rhule is the reason he gets involved, he wasn’t as involved for about 1 1/2 years. Let him draft all defense, let them trade for Darnold THEN  he started poking his nose around. I truly feel like if we have a GM/HC combo that knows what they are doing he’s gonna back off. Winning cures all.

Sure, but then when he fails because Bryce is garbage, he'll never get another HC job again and will be a QB coach and/or OC making peanuts compared to HC's.

If he takes half the money but goes to the Chargers where he has a franchise QB and other pieces and becomes a consistent winner, he'll end up making so much more money in his career.

The guy is only 37, I don't think he wants to get paid for the next 5-7 years, he wants to be a HC for the next 25-30 years.

This is an argument that bears out theoretically but not in reality. There's a reason guaranteed money is such a big deal. In your worst case scenario, Johnson gets $80 million for 1 year of work. He gets fired and either retires comfortably for the rest of his life if he wants or picks up a premium offensive coordinator position immediately if he wants to keep working.

Or he can make half that money working in a position where 1/4 of the coaches get fired every year and coaches staying with the same team for more than 8 years is increasingly rare. Where best case scenario, he works 10 years to make what he made in 1 year in scenario 1, which is already more than he would spend in his lifetime.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By hepcat · Posted

      Is right now the worst time in the history of Charlotte pro sports? The Hornets (formerly Bobcats) have been a dumpster fire since rejoining the NBA 20 years ago. The Panthers were a respectable but frustrating team before David Tepper bought the team, but now they are easily the worst team in the NFL. Charlotte only has 2 sports teams so it's unfair to compare to every other city in the country with a Big 4 pro sports team, because when you have all 4 of even 3, you tend to have one franchise that ends up being successful. If we're taking into account the Hurricanes and ranking NC's pro sports teams as a whole, the Hurricanes make everything look better in NC pro sports. But just taking into account cities with an NFL and NBA team, and excluding their respective NHL and MLB teams, in the last 5 years, Charlotte easily takes the crown for the worst city for pro sports. The only other city coming close is Detroit since the Pistons have been awful, but the Lions were in the NFC Championship last year and should probably have made it to the Superbowl if it weren't for some questionable coaching decisions. Indianapolis could be mentioned because the Colts and Pacers have had a somewhat rough go the last 5 years, but both the Colts and Pacers have had more recent success than either the Panthers or Hornets. Sadly enough I think the Panthers have a better shot at success than the Hornets since the NBA is structured more towards star player driven success and the NFL is a team driven sport where there is more parity year to year. But I'm fairly confident this level of misery will continue for some time.
