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

Color me skeptical on that point...

If you can call being read the riot act constructive......

You could put Madden as coach with prime Tom Brady into this team, we will win 3-5 games.  It’s the culture… it’s toxic.  After 8 years, some folks still did not figure it out.

The official story is that Tepper is no longer so hands-on as he used to be.

If this is true, it's a start.

It's not a guarantee of improvement though. There are still a lot of things that would have to change.

No hands on?  Didn’t he just chewed Canales out after the game?  I’d say that’s pretty hands on.

I once worked for a company that believed anyone who was competent in one area would automatically be competent in another (i.e. the Jerry Richardson philosophy). Management had absolutely zero understanding of what a skill set was.

As a result, what you got was people telling you that your performance wasn't good enough. But when you asked them how to make it better, they had no clue.

"Be better!"

"How?"

"I don't know! Just do it or else you're fired!"

Even though Richardson is long gone, I suspect there's still a lot of that kind of thing in the Panthers team culture.

We only know that they talked. The character and tone of the conversation is unknown.

My own take is that I believe him when he says he isn't meddling anymore. Unfortunately, the idea that this alone actually solves anything is fallacious.

Like Samir Suleiman did?

To be fair SS was always a psycho with a giant ego. Haven't heard anything near that with Tillis.

There are 16 games to play. Relax  

[Panthering]

No I don’t think so.  We will show some signs of life I believe. It wouldn’t help anything, would rather keep a few of the same faces around for the rebuild. Also, it’s Week 1 people.

Some folks would tell you it's okay to have someone psycho on your team as long as they're good at what they do. 

My response is typically to apply that concept to a marriage and see if you still think it's a good idea

As long as Tepper is the owner, the team is doomed to be below mediocre. He got rid of Steve Wilks because he was an alpha male. He only wants yes men, choir boys, and people that fit a certain profile. He refuses to let others lead. He is doomed to fail.

I think Canales is safe no matter what. If he gets to select his own QB and he sucks next season that may be all she wrote. 
Evero should have been fired last season. I think Tepper has given Canales a long rope.

I’m not…. Dan Morgan is a GM last time I checked, not Tepper.  Manager should be talking to his employees, not managers manager.  When big boss talks to you, overstepping your manager, that’s either means your big boss don’t trust your manager or he’s meddling and sticks his nose into everything.  You pick.

Under Tepper they need to be well adjusted and not sycophants or the worst comes out. Wasn't that the year the staff went knives out?

He has chosen 3 and has no option behind Young this year. His coaching alone is enough to justify a firing if it keeps going the way it's going again. No need for a year 3 where he gets fired mid way for being who he was in year 1 and 2. That's like saying Evero deserved a year 3 after last year. It makes no sense logic wise. Plus he chose Young when he signed up for this while others walked.
