Carolina meat grinder

[ATLpanther]

I know coaching in the NFL is a 24/7 job but got damn….what the hell is going on behind the scenes in Carolina?? The last few coaches since Tepper took over look like they just got out of Nam at a certain point. Canales is starting to get that look….like he spent the night in a Tepper’s office strapped to a chair with megadeath blasting and strobe lights flashing. I remember when Reich started looking glossed over and like he was ready to jump off a bridge. Rhule reached a point where he looked like he slept in a ditch. 
Anyways, there is a pattern that has formed when they’ve all gotten the I don’t give AF anymore look with bags under their eyes that is synonymous with Carolina under Tepper.  It’s starting with Canales.

You answered your own question in the 2nd sentence.

I was just thinking when someone posted the clip of angry Tepper after the game yesterday, and I thought to myself, “I wonder if Dave has to attend the meetings Reich used to really talk glowingly about?”

 

this picture answers that.

It's no wonder why our wish lists have to start where everyone else's end.

I feel like Tepper needs to give the fans an opportunity to have weekly meetings with him so that he can catch his own ass chewings.

Tepper is trying to be the next Jerry Jones. He's actually the super secret head coach behind the scenes.

I find it funny that these guys sign up for this job after multiple meeting with Tepper. 

Coaches or GMs who 'didn't interview well' or decline further interviews show a lot of intelligence IMO. Tepper has a type and it's why the team is a constant dumpster fire.

I've worked 3 different jobs in 3 different industries in Charlotte, and they were all toxic. A friend of mine experienced the same thing and he still works in the city. Tepper fits the Charlotte mold.

From sports to business to politics, Charlotte is just poorly ran. I'm amazed there's any success in anything going on there.

Here's what I would say: he's trying to solve a lot of problems and he's not sleeping a lot.

The NFL head coaching gig is HARD on people.  Dave is trying to be too nice, make everyone happy, and keep the vibes and smiles going.  I get it.  But leadership is hard.  You have to be a hard person.  In the NFL, you have to crush dreams daily.  Sure, you can lift guys up, but you also have to cut, demote, and fire people.

Whether it's his religiosity or his personality, Dave is going to have to learn to be ruthless.  We haven't seen that too much.  Stop blowing smoke, kissing butt, and just be honest.  Certainly be respectful, but you have to be 100% honest.

those Monday morning Tepper meetings going to age a man
