Tony Pauline: Campen was Tepper's "eyes and ears"

I don’t blame him for this. Your boss says report to me, you report to him. I do blame him for being a terrible OL coach, and hopefully Tepper doesn’t ask position coaches to undermine the head coach in the future.

Agreed. Maybe if Campen wasn’t tasked with being a team mole, he would’ve focused more energy in getting the OL to play better. I hate hd had to lose his job though as this is squarely on Tepper.

When you lose a lot in any business this is the result.  Trying to create a super staff ended up having no leadership.  From everything I've read Dan Morgan is not a Yes man.  We did the keep the old coach in Ron.  College coach with complete control with Rhule.  Then everyone shares and takes the best ideas with Frank and Fitterer.

Now, I hope, we are doing the more traditional GM has the final say on football matters.  And before you say Tepper has already said the GM and Coach report to him I think that is the ultimate case with all teams.

Jesus, no fuging wonder this was such a fuging shitshow.  I've worked for places where management instigates conflict between departments and employees.  It always seemed like a way to make people fight with each other rather than pay attention to their complete failures as managers.  Also know that every single player knew exactly who the rats were.

This kind of poo might work in the corporate world where competition "makes the cream rise to the top", but for a football team that has to work like...well a TEAM it fugs everything up.  Please god tepper, keep your scrotum shaped fuging head away from the fuging football team.

Wasn't just Campen, apparently.

Likely suspects would include Tabor, maybe Brown since both are gone.

Some also suggest Jim Caldwell.

I called this yesterday in another thread.  It always seemed sketch that both Duce and McCown went the same day as Reich.  And then you promote your Special Teams coach!? to interim HC.  Always smelled like a couple rats on staff and now they’re all gone.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
