Come on though...

Who among us wouldn't pocket a few extra million to narc on our colleagues?

"Sorry dave, haven't heard anything lately..."

"Reich isn't running any RPO and refusing to adjust his scheme, Thomas Brown's wife hates it here, the locker room is calling Miles "Inches" Sanders, and Icky says he has blackmail on you so he has to stay at LT"

The more and more that comes out the more I feel for Reich, Staley and McCown. All those dudes probably envisioned such a different situation when they heard they had the number one pick with a team that finished the prior season strong with a defense that was built to compete. 
 

then they were made the scapegoats when the owner fell in love with the test taker over the actual QB. 
 

it was an absolute no win situation for those guys.

For the sake of argument, do we think these rats were put in place by Tepper or did they start doing it on their own as the ultimate brown-nosers?

We actually do know the answer to that question.

Per a prior report (think it was Breer but I'm not positive) Tepper was known to go around asking assistant coaches to talk about other assistants.

So basically, he not only sought it out, but he encouraged it.

And Campen and Tabor were Rhule holdovers.

Tepper asked Frank to keep them on.

They had no reason to be loyal to the other guys.

I bet the snitching started during Rhule’s time.

I like Frank Reich as a person, but he does not have the ability to command a locker room or a coaching staff. The all-star coaching staff looked good on paper but the second it looked like it wasn't gonna work everyone went into self-preservation mode trying to save their own jobs. 

can you imagine if someone did this on a Vrabel or Campbell coached team?  Holy poo

“More than a few”….

I mean, Campen wasn’t fired because of that….Tepper clearly encouraged and sought it.  Which is why he had more than Campen doing it.    It would be naive to think the many are now gone. 

I still think Jim Caldwell is one.  How else do you go from advising the worst O in the NFL….to helping hire the next era.  He is Tepper guy.

We know one was Tabor.

Jim Caldwell wouldn't surprise me either.

Probably a few players as well.

Whoever it was, get them on a bus out of town and have a zero tolerance policy.

No one past the GM and HC should be reporting to the big boss man.

Absolutely, I would make sure my staff knew that if they break the chain of command they will be fired immediately.  This isn't the military but anytime you have some below you and going above you creates discontent. 

Tepper should know this more than anyone.  He's the owner but has no clue on how to run a football team.

    • Its quite literally insanity and its quite literally textbook panthering.  Literally 2 weeks before the season they pull this poo.  It absolutely helps no one but Moton.   fug morgan fug tepper and fug tillis.  This is a horrendous move no matter how you sell it.  But but but culture, but but but it sets a precedent, but but but he deserves it, but but but it frees up cap space.   It was a stupid fuging move. 
    • fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally
    • Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.
