Is Tepper going to clean the house again after this season?

[Lame Duck]

Clearly Canales/Morgan experiment might be coming to an end. Not only Canales failed to establish the culture change he promised, he also struggles with play calling, game reading, and in game adjustments.  The team always seem unprepared and play execution is terrible.  Morgan, who promised us dawgs, got us pugs.  He failed to bring correct talent in or identify gaps in squad.  Panthers had a massive issue with run defense and pass rush last season, after spending a ton of money on free agents and draft, Panthers have massive issue with run defense and pass rush this season again.

If the Panthers finish bottom of the league this season and have top 3 pick in NFL draft, I do not see how we can bring a rookie QB into a failing culture and expect him to be successful.

Tepper is the source of the disease. 

[Waldo]

Hopefully. My only hope under him is falling backwards into success. First he has to suffer through another season of what he built. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Not sure about cleaning house but if things continue going the way week one did I suspect several of the staff will have a lot of free time over the upcoming holiday season. Some might want to go ahead and get that Halloween costume as they sell out fast.

I posted this under another top (Morgan's drafts), but it applies here.

I don't know if the problem is our scouting department, the front office, or both. What has become apparent is that our team is terrible at drafting. Every round we seem pass on players who could fill hole in our roster in favor of players who contribute NOTHING on the field and are often out of the league before their first contract expires. 

Are the scouts providing good intel but being ignored? Are they giving bad intel and the FO is going on their recommendation? Tepper needs to hire a consultant who is knowledgeable of the game and have him do a top to bottom examination of our personnel department and find out why are arguable the worst drafting team in the NFL. Why do we pass on players who excel in the league for garbage players who probably couldn't even make most rosters in the NFL as backups.

Posted this in 2021. Seems like it's still true today  (tl;dr; "it starts with the owner")

holding out hope that the appearances of Tepper being hands-off the football operations recently are accurate and that Dan/Dave are doing the best they can - with all the resources they can -  to right the ship that they were given

Tepper hires consultants. He just ignores their recommendations because he knows better.

The best thing for the team is to let it crash and burn. There's no way to save this season and bring in some street scrub only to win 1 or 2 games max is detrimental to building a better roster. Suck it up buttercup.

With some people you can at least identify a trend in their mistakes: always too cautious, too reckless, too generous, too stingy, overthinking, impulsive, etc.

Sadly, Tepper is one of those people who can make mistakes in every possible manner.

(omni-incompetent...or perhaps omnincompetent, if you want to put a word to it)

He needs, as he has always needed, someone who actually has a clue making all his decisions for him. There were hints that was going to be Dan Morgan's role now, but is Morgan the right choice for the job?

The problem with finding somebody to make good decisions for somebody who consistently makes terrible decisions is that it's still the bad decision maker's decision who he picks to make the good decisions...unless he picks someone else to make that decision, but even then will he make a good decision as to who decides who...

Ya know what? I'm tired

My Answer: I don't know. At this point I'm.probably just praying for a miracle.

He has had access to exactly such a person (or people) for several years now, but whether he has any inclination to do such a thing is unknown.

I've seen enough, clean house. I want the new GM to pick the HC and the HC to pick the QB.

Does that include firing Brandt Tilis?

(he just got here)

[PleaseCutStewart]

Barring going 2-15 or worse, I doubt it. I think Evero will be the scapegoat and Morgan/Canales will get 1 more year.

I'm sure Tepper will meddle again with which QB we should draft in 2026 and we will likely choose the wrong QB again.

Rinse and repeat the 3 years after and we will be back in the same situation in 2029

[PleaseCutStewart]

And I would have Morgan safer than Canales IMO. Outside of the whiff on XL and taking Brooks when we didn't need a RB, I think Dan has drafted pretty well his 2 years in charge as GM. I'm more concerned with the free agent acquisitions that have mostly been busts, but I'm not sure if those were more coach decisions or Morgan decisions.

But I honestly think Canales just isn't a good coach and wouldn't have a problem cleaning house (at least HC, OC, DC, GM) at the end of the season. The only problem is no HC and GM worth a crap are coming to this dysfunctional franchise.

It is week 1. This place needs to calm down a bit.
