I don’t believe that fat POS changed   Billionaires don’t change.

I’m also incredibly accountable. But only “behind the scenes” 

[Pazhoosier89]

If Tepper wants to really be accountable he needs to hire a football president that knows what he is doing . Someone like Kevin Colbert and let them make the GM/HC decisions. Tepper can sign the checks and watch his team, that it. He needs to be more like Jerry Richardson and less like Jerry Jones.

Haha that’s what I thought when I saw this headline. The guy comes off as a pompous ass in the public eye.

I'll believe it when I see it.

My exact sentiments, What happens in about 2 weeks will determine if he's just blowing smoke or not.

There is no way he is stepping back from football operations. He already "knows" what coaches he needs and "knows" what we need in the draft. He MUST make BY successful to prove he is a genius and the will be his downfall.

 

The "culture of fear" quote was also important. A lot of people know what its like working at a place like that. Everyone is doing what the have to do to not get fired. If you see something that could be fixed but it would bring attention to you when you can just ignore it and not be involved at all, you ignore that problem. Employees are pit against each other. They will go behind your back and report to the boss what you're doing wrong. Its just tense. Tepper is one of those bosses who makes sure that when everyone wakes up in the morning, the first feeling they get is dread for having to go in that day. It's a horrible way to live but that is what Tepper wants. He wants fear, for you to be on edge, always thinking about what you have to do at work while you're home. 

 

People like this don't change. He cannot do it even if he knows he has to for the team to succeed. He may step back at first but the first loss because of a bad call by the coach, he is back on the field telling the coaching staff how stupid they are and what they will need to change. Everyone can look at the Panthers record and see exactly when he came on board. We will not have a winning season with Tepper involved at all with the team. He needs to sell or....if Tepper is here this team will suck. These Wall Street guys that make it that high up are pretty much the scum of the earth. These are the guys that will short a company to death that was inventing a new treatment for cancer if it means they can make $1,000,000. That's their mindset.

If Bryce has 2 more good games, we will get a good coach to come here.  No coach wants to go to a place without a good or potentially good QB.

True. We need Bryce to keep flashing or showing potential these last couple games and this job can become a lot more attractive, especially if Tepper agrees to yield to his staff this time.

Really hate it that our new QB will have to learn yet another offense in his 2nd year in the NFL. That, along with some major changes in personnel is not how you help a young player. Consistency is extremely important to young guys learning the game at the highest level.

This from Dianna Rossini of the Atlethic is potential great news:
 

“In Carolina, owner David Tepper has taken hit after hit around the league for meddling and creating a culture of fear, but a league source said Tepper has been self-reflective, blaming himself for almost all the mistakes made this season. The source said, “He’s incredibly accountable and ready to make it right. He’s rejuvenated.”

For a man worth billions of dollars who is paying two coaches who aren’t even working, that should be a positive sign to Panthers fans. A league source said Tepper has his eye on Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who was his first choice last hiring cycle. Johnson is a native of western North Carolina and a former UNC walk-on quarterback but turned down a chance to continue conversations about the Panthers job last year because he didn’t feel ready to take over as a head coach. Now, the source said, Johnson is ready and is expected to have options.”

Dipper could hire Harbaugh, give him full control....and drop the mic and walk away. That would be accountability...

There is no such thing as being accountable BEHIND THE SCENES.  Accountability is not hidden from view--he may be licking his wounded ego, but that is another thing.  Many think success has to do with superior intelligence, and that is only one variable.   I have a doctorate, and people tell me, "You must be smart."  I reply, "in one specific area of life, yes.  But the process teaches you what it takes to be a real expert in one specific area of life, and that knowledge makes me realize what an idiot I am in the other areas."
