Wait. I thought firing Reich was supposed to fix this. Damn, who does Tepper fire now?!

Since this franchise is a three alarm fire, I humbly suggest something that complements asbestos and is flame retardant…

Corbett?

This thought process breaks down immediately at step 2.

You big mad, bro?

That would require an incredible amount of self-reflection and humility. Yeah, we're screwed...

Medieval clowns and court jesters played an important role in ‘speaking truth to power.’ Perhaps David Tepper is listening? “Jesters in Medieval Europe were decidedly more involved with affairs of state than were jesters in other time periods and locations. Oftentimes, a monarch or high-ranking official would search for a jester to keep at court. The court jester of medieval times was usually allowed to speak his mind freely, while not everyone else had to wait for the monarch's permission to speak. Many times, the jester would use his chance at free speech to criticize the monarch openly, where no one else could. Thus, a function of the jester was to act as a critic, and many stories exist to support the fact that kings did indeed pay heed to the criticism of the court jester.”

Suspend that true observation and just go with the flow…

‘… and then we can save money on other high salary positions.’

This is a call to all creative and frustrated Huddlers. Post your favorite clown pics with a Tepper caption or reference. For example, ‘Tepper calls a staff meeting to explain to the coaching staff that a QB is really a point guard.’ You know what to do. Post ‘em here.

There is a cosmic symmetry here. The Panthers are abandoning Wofford, just as the fans have abandoned all hope.

And the answer is?

Before we hire a head coach, we need the services of a priest to perform an exorcism. There is a lot of bad ju ju around this franchise…

Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner! The fact that some responders don’t recognize satire, well, that’s just a bonus.

With all his MANY weaknesses, he did not have a noodle arm, his footwork was better than Bryce, and we could actually win games if we went run heavy and schemed to hide his limitations. Winning football games; does anyone remember what that was like just 12 months ago? Come back, Sam. All’s forgiven.

PSA For Tepper, an NFL franchise is the equivalent of a vanity license plate. It’s a play toy for him, and he intends to play with it. As fans, we need to adjust our expectations accordingly. It helps to have a well rounded life of other interests, so that your personal happiness doesn’t rise and fall with this team’s won/loss record.

Opinions vary.

Do Bryce’s struggles to date become an impediment to hiring a hot, young OC wunderkind? When you say that Tepper is a detriment, should we be honest and consider that Bryce may be a negative factor in the calculus of a future HC candidate? For that matter, no offensive weapons to speak of, an OL in tatters, limited draft capital in the next two years. This is the thought process that any ‘turn around situation’ manager has to assess before they accept a job offer. What is the probability that I can meet the boards’ expectations in the given time frame? Yikes!
