He definitely said that ‘coaching won’t change’ for PR fluff. I have a feeling he has everyone on the hot seat in reality.

If we have a .500 season and miss the playoffs (given our unknown o-line situation sadly, it is possible) I feel he’ll be ready to clean house.

Either way, I expect a huge fire lit under everyone to actually try and do good. We have the weapons and we could theoretically have an okay o-line (don’t start Silatolu Ron pls) for Cam to make a run, but it all starts from making the right coaching choices (pls give Cam the freedom he had in 2015) and personnel.

Above all else, Tepper does not strike me as a guy happy with mediocrity. Something JR seemed happy with at times.

I suspect if this is not a winning season, whooo buddy. Seats will be on fire.

 

I wasn't impressed with the press conference but not because of Tepper but the lousy questions.

He has a good vision and love it or not he is bringing some of that Steeler mentality.   He seems to like Ron and Norv and they have the tools to be a good team.   God Forbid they fall flat on their faces.

I apply that only to this season. You can't change coaches in July.

I suspect that people who were overpromoted for ass kissing are probably pretty nervous right now.

It's hard to imagine Tepper allowing anyone with subpar job performance to keep their job.

Huddle will find a way to complain even if we win soooooo.

can he fire huddlers to?

Hard to say, since consistent winning seasons has never happened since 1996. What's amazing is a lot of huddlers were content with an owner like JR and think it hasn't been that bad because we can compare our selves to 3-4 other teams who have it worse. Back to reality, statistics and numbers however, and it was really that bad.

It'll be interesting to see a culture change, but to be honest, it would be pretty hard for Tepper to do worse than JR just looking at numbers.

I feel like there is going to be a ton of firings and a cleaning of house. You don't keep around people who were complicit to what Richardson was doing behind the scenes. Maybe that doesn't extend to the coaching staff, but you gotta purge that bad juju out of there.

My bod is ready.

I found it interesting how much Tepper emphasized how Rivera is such a "defense" guy, and not so much an overall head coach. :thinking:

He called Rivera a "good" coach.

 

Didn't seem like a glowing endorsement.

People noticed that when talking about the "good" football operation, he mentioned Rivera, but not Hurney.

I don't necessarily think it means anything, but it qualifies as one of those "file it away" things.

I think this is Hurney's best work as GM...except for the dumb kicker thing at the beginning of last season.  Not saying he will stick, but I do think this team is in a good position to make a run in the playoffs. Sounds like Tepper will bring in some people who will help him evaluate things.  At least he won't likely be making decisions based on friendships on the team or staff. But he is not going to clean house just for the sake of it either.

Tepper obviously isn't a dumb guy, seems patient, is a straight shooter, and he knows football. I'll take him at his word until he says otherwise. There's really no need for pretty much baseless speculation at this point. 

As for Rivera, he basically said in so many words that he didn't want to give Ron the big head but that Ron is a good coach. I see this as positive, not negative (in any sense). 

In my opinion, all the hot seat talk is out of line and very much premature. 

Hurney, for all his detractors, has set Cam and the offense up to succeed for probably the first time in Cam's career. But for an absolutely crazy Kalil contract by his predecessor, he probably would have fixed the O-line too. Even still, we have enough pieces to win between the draft, free agency and Norv Turner. The win train was in motion even before Tepper became the imminent owner.

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      By strato · Posted

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.

      Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.

      And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough
