Tepper might mandate we start Will Grier and some other younger guys

Helps us see what we have, and also helps tank for better draft pick

Who is ready for the Will Grier show

Tepper said this.  Music to my ears. 
 

“Our vision is to find the right mix of old-school discipline and toughness with modern and innovative processes.

If Hurney stays, we still rioting....right?

Wording of Tepper saying he will conduct the head coaching search does. 

Tepper saying he is hiring an assistant GM AND VP of football operations at least makes me think Hurney’s responsibilities will be reduced greatly if he’s not fired.

I think this is a mistake.  Why not at least let him coach out his contract in a year that doesn't see double digit players out to injury?  What's even gained by firing him with 4 games to go?

 

Honestly this comes off like a tantrum reaction, and doesn't reflect well on ownership's temperament.

 

Also, firing Rivera while keeping Hurney is just idiotic.

The wording in regards to the GM makes me think that Hurney isn't going anywhere and that makes me a sad panda

This scares me

One down and one to go!

Tepper isn't messing around

 

CHARLOTTE -- The Carolina Panthers have parted ways with head coach Ron Rivera, owner David Tepper announced Tuesday.

Secondary coach Perry Fewell has been named interim head coach. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner will transition to special assistant to the head coach, and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner will serve as offensive coordinator.

“I believe this is the best decision for the long-term success of our team,” Tepper said. “I have a great deal of respect for Ron and the contributions he has made to this franchise and to this community. I wish him the best. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers.”
