Mr. Scot

Genuinely did not think things would get worse than they already were. But damn

I'd guess that both Rhule and the Daboll story playef into the decision. Yet another overcorrection, it seems

There's a good site available down in Rock Hill 🫥

Same was true of Campen before he got here. Now it's a trifecta...

Does he even want to be here though? He'll likely have other opportunities. Why would he choose to stay here with all this bullsh-t?

Well there is that one guy... Would love to hear what he thinks of all this

Said it elsewhere: My thing was that I wanted to see Fitterer and Reich have another year to build something together, but now it turns out they weren't even working together. I cared less after Reich being fired anyway, but this pretty much seals things.

Rhule was the guy behind that. Doesn't matter now though. With the stuff that's come out from Dianna Russini today, It's pretty much impossible to keep him. How do you hire a new head coach and ask him to work with somebody who went behind the previous coach's back to talk to the owner about him?

Can't agree with that at all. I know for sure that if I'm the next head coach, and I've heard that something like this was happening on the previous staff, I'm not keeping a single damn one of them. I don't care how good they are at their job.

Valid, but he has also admitted that when he hired Matt Rhule, he firmly believed he was going to "show everybody in the league how it was done". I've gotten the impression that while he likes to present himself as humble, behind the scenes it may not be as true as he'd like us to think.

Good grief

As long as there's still turf in Charlotte, not sure it helps anything

I'd agree. That's not the flex he thought it was. It was just petty.

I go back to the old quote attributed to John Wayne, "Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid" Not knowing what you're doing is nowhere near as big a problem as not knowing what you're doing but thinking that you do. This is where I have issues with David Tepper.

Maybe Jerry Richardson pissed him off somehow 🫥

Jim Caldwell Is the guy who got Frank into coaching. Don't buy for a minute that he would have anything to do with this. The most reasonable suspicion seems to fall on James Campen and Chris Tabor, though I would say others who had no background with Reich may well be involved also.

Yesterday, I had to go to my optometrist and get an injection in my left eyeball. I think that was probably less painful than reading this story

Tepper and Haslam haven't exactly done wonders for people in that role who want to be owners

The Horseshit Way

Unfortunately, it's not like "the person he was working for" has exactly been successful in his role. What I'll say in Frank's favor is that he really should have been allowed to hire anybody he wanted without interference. It might not have gone any better, but it would have been a much fairer approach. (and most likely a lot less toxic) I can't really put anything positive on people running to the owner. That's just childish behavior and certainly not something a professional does.

Russini's story definitely isn't helping on that front

Sounds like it. Overcorrection definitely seems to be a David Tepper thing.

I'm not a fan of betting on people who have no idea what they're doing getting lucky.

Good point. I hadn't looked back at the histories yet.
