Hope y'all are ready to win.

....Tep might want to light sht up but end up like Daniel Snyder... I want to see smart calculated moves.

Just a reminder for folks looking for a quick exit for Rivera: The Steelers way is to keep a coach long-term and allow him to develop and redevelop teams over the years. They are only on their third coach since 1969. 

The Steelers do have winning ways and patience is one of their cornerstones.

He may prove to be terrible or an ass, but I'm REALLY liking Tepper so far.  Seems like he's going to be a great owner in more ways than one. 

[Panther1iDawg]

Along that line, I hope he will be patient an develop things.  I kinda feel like he would make sure the next head coach hire would be long term. Maybe Ron has 2-3 years to cement the job long term.

I'm ready! Let's go!!

JR would be happy with mediocrity b/c his cheap conservative ass didn't want to pay playoff bonuses. Don't forget, he just likes to let contracts run out rather than firing someone. He don't wanna pay something for nothing. I still think Hurney goes first. I don't see him letting Rivera go. Who the hell else would we get?

They also haven't won a super bowl in ten years. And rely too long on veterans.

It's been a long time coming. An owner that is just as competitive as your QB and wants to succeed just as bad, Kraft and Brady are a perfect example.

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.

 

If this isn't a winning season (at least two playoff victories) I'll expect more than hot seats as a result.

I'll expect to see entirely new butts in those seats.

Something else to consider, though...

You remember that movement by Steelers minority owners to get Mike Tomlin fired? 

Guess who was part of it?

Just sayin', if Mike Tomlin's record isn't good enough, how does Ron Rivera's stack up?

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.

Yep i bet he would never say a punt isn’t a bad play

We know he was a minority owner of the Steelers but that doesn't mean he will run the Panthers that way. Hell JR didn't really do it the Steelers way either. He just gave them lip service.
