The history of Tepper’s hires, and history of not promoting Wilks, in addition to reports of his focus on hiring from organizations he admires for how their organization is run is going to hurt us if he prioritizes organizational process over hiring a coach that instills or inspires toughness and a culture of accountability.
 

Players don’t play hard and dedicate themselves because management is well run. In todays NFL, successful teams are ones who have one of two things: 1. A genius HC/OC who’s so good, respect is earned by the results which instill confidence in every player that they can win every game, and will win every game if if they play tough, e.g. Shannahan, Reid, Lafluar,and Sirianni, ; and 2. A natural born leader who demands toughness by inspiring his players to understand there’s no other way to win, e.g. Vrabel, Dan Campbell, Demeco Ryans, and Sean McDermott.

Ron River and John Fox instilled and inspired toughness, which was our calling card. Both had to take teams that were lost and aimless and it was toughness that got us out of a hole. WILKS! He reversed the entire teams persona and the results speak for themselves.

 

All this to say, we need an inspiring leader to instill toughness, which consequently raises the standards of the entire team. We don’t need an approach that values organizational structure over toughness. Both are ideal, but the primary factor should be, can this coach inspire this team like John Fox, Rivera, and Wilks did?

These aren’t trade off’s. You can have all four. Tepper just seems like a narcissist so he’s a very poor judge of others emotional intelligence and how it meshes with everything you mentioned.

I was skeptical of Dan Campbell in Detroit because I thought that the "tough culture" would wear off, but he legit seems like a great dude and leader.

I think the mistake with Campbell is that people see how intense he is and take him for a meathead.

In reality, he's extremely smart.

Right, that first press conference was like a pro wrestling promo talking about "kicking teeth in and smiling at you." It didn't exactly make him look like a genius

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Football is a people business first. If players don’t like, RESPECT and believe in their coach, don’t expect them to run through a wall for them. These are young, millionaires alphas. 

You bring in a high pedigree winning resume and/or former player who understands NFL culture if you want the locker room’s attention. 

There is a good reason for the monumental decline from last year to this one with the roster being mostly the same, minus Foreman and Moore. This year’s team couldn’t win with Moss, Megatron and Faulk.

Dan wouldn't let a player weasel out of their contract -- show up and play, don't get paid.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
