The man held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking after firing his third head coach in three years while relegating his front office personnel to glorified lackeys.

Do you work for the Tepper's?

Which one of those firings did you disagree with?

The issue is they were hired in the first place. 

And Mr. Tepper didn't just hire front office executives to handle everything. He personally hopped on a plane with his right hand man Marty Hurney and flew out to Matt Rhule's house and let Rhule woo him with meatballs and life stories.

Tepper was also fully involved in the hiring of Reich and did so bypassing another candidate in Wilks.

Tepper also made it abundantly clear that he was pining for Bryce Young months before the draft.

To believe he was not steering the trajectory of the team in some significant capacity throughout this would be akin to believing in Santa Claus.

To be clear I am legitimately hoping the Tepper's have actually learned something through the worst win percentage in professional sports.

Anywho. Icege pooing posts over valid David Tepper criticism is peak white knighting. Never seen anyone here so delusional and that includes PFFL.

Oh no some of us realized it immediately 

I was optimistic at first.  I celebrated at least attempting something radically different.  Once press and cameras got into camp after COVID going into his 2nd season......the red flags were going off like crazy.      And the Panthers have had preseason red flags ever since.

I've always said this from the start.  Tepper has made 2 huge mistakes.  Rhule and Reich.  Im open to adding Fitt as well.  Trusting his football people can be damning when you choose the wrong people.

I agree Tepper completely bumbled everything after purchasing the Panthers. Kept Rivera and Hurney too long, including letting Hurney last into Matt Rhule’s tenure instead of hiring a GM to hire the head coach, and then hiring Matt Rhule and giving him way too much power, then keeping him into year 3. For all the reputation Tepper has as having too quick of a trigger finger with coaches/GMs, it is entirely unwarranted. 2 out of 3 head coaches and GMs he kept too long.

That being said, it would have all probably ended up fine if Matt Rhule had not been a complete egotistical idiot who felt the need to piss all over everything about the franchise to mark his territory. All he had to do was keep Cam on the last year of his contract, listen to 1st round draft genius Marty Hurney and go up and get Justin Herbert, and not trade for reclamation project QBs every year. And now hearing poo like this, how about not run your star RB in goal line drills his first practice back from injury. I wish Matt Rhule nothing but the worst in his coaching career because it was his hubris and arrogance that led to all of this.

I think he got rid of Rivera too fast. Rivera wasn't the issue here, Hurney was.

Everybody can speak for themselves, but my guess is you got poo’ed for immediately reverting to the “Do you work for the Tepper’s” comment in an otherwise normal discussion.

Oh please lol. If that's enough to trigger someone they need to get off the internet for their own well being.

For me, the first red flag was saying that it would be a five year rebuild.  Then cutting Cam, and then inexplicably signing Bridgewater for a significant amount of money, basically saying that just because we were in a five year rebuild didn't me we couldn't win now.  All before he coached a single game.  That whole thing was just baffling.  

Better to just stick with Cam for his final year, see if his arm had anything left and if not, draft someone else.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
