John Mara has $500 million. Sound like a lot of money? Yeah, it's a lot of money.

David Tepper has $12 billion. That's 24 times as much as John Mara. To put it another way: $60,000 a year is a common salary in Charlotte right? 24 x 60,000 is $1,440,000. Tepper has so much money he even makes other NFL owners look like peasants.

The giants pay them, the owner partners take their profits. Of course more spent means less profit. Also, less attendance means less profit too.

$500 million is chump to Tepper but it’s also proportional. Maras hit would be split ha. I’m a poet and didn’t know it. 
 

anyway, the best way to lose money for the franchise is to be a perpetual loser. Just ask the redskins how their attendance has hurt them.

Good fuging god dude. Nobody here is saying that this hire will FOR SURE work out. We’re saying the money doesn’t matter because Tepper has 12 billion dollars. You kept complaining about the amount of money and spending our money wisely. It does not matter. 

Wrong. That's your perception but it's not what I said.

[Basbear]

He is correct, it beyond broken all the first time coaching contracts. Say all you want about "no salary cap for coaches, its Teppers money, etc" . This contract nuked the current system. 

Lastly it was for a guy that just become a HC starting in 2013........ AND won at big time schools Temple and Baylor.... David Cutcliffe won at Duke and has waaay more pro-connections, hes a "better" choice in some veins and I would not want him as HC.

Too steep for a head coach new to the NFL, not just too steep in general.

Tepper believes he is the guy to build us into a.multidecade powerhouse. 

Excuse ms, but that is well worth it, since that is what Tepper is trying to build  and give us fans.

Not really. It's more you not getting the point.

Again, I don't care how much money he spends if he makes smart choices. If he makes dumb choices, I'm very concerned by the fact that he's making dumb choices.

The reason to be concerned about him making dumb choices is not because of the money. It's because owners who make dumb choices produce lousy teams.

It's not really that hard to understand.

Since you're so concerned about our owner making smart decisions that are non-football related, then you'll be happy to know he has a net worth of $12 billion...that equals a LOT of smart decision-making.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I keep seeing the term “stupid” and can’t fathom why.  Looks like Tepper saw a guy that shares his vision and wanted to make sure he secured it.  I was surprised about mcD not getting a look but Tepper might have known waiting could result in him missing out on  Rhule and McD. 
 

I don’t think he overpaid so much as he protected his vision.  Whether or not it turns out to be the right choice will be learned over time but dismissing it as stupid is, well, just plain stupid...

It affects how good a team we are.

That kind of matters.

How much we spent on a coach does not affect how good the coach is. Come on now. 

[Cary Kollins]

I’m fugging psyched to finally have an owner who isn’t playing by the good ole boys club rules.

Yeah Tepper nuked the coaching pay scales, which were obviously rigged by wink and nod collusion by the other owners. The head coach is arguably as important as any other piece of a franchise, why not pay them top dollar in a multi-billion dollar business?

lol for fug sake I can’t believe this is even a discussion 

 

[Happy Panther]

I hate this narrative that we overpaid for our new coach since he has almost no nfl experience. Either he is an nfl coach or he isn't. Once you decide he is you pay him the market rate. This isn't used car shopping...

Would you like to apply the net worth of Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder or Jim Haslam as evidence that they make smart football decisions?

Whether or not he's a good coach does.

If we spend a boatload of money on a poor choice, it's a good sign that the people in charge don't know what they're doing.

I don't give a rat's ass about the team looking stupid.

I'm extremely concerned about them actually being stupid.

David Tepper may be a lot of things, but I don’t think stupid is one of them. Given his track record in everything else he’s done I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Finished the other interviews, at least McDaniels, before deciding.

Also would have felt a lot better if Tepper had brought in a consultant rather than just trusting that he and Marty were enough of a braintrust to make this decision on their own.

Yes I think at least having someone who knows football other than MH might have been in order as well.  Of course  we don't know if Tepper had advice from outside the organization.  Just cause we didn't hear about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

No he’s either a good coach or a bad coach regardless of the money. He can be a bad coach and pay him 1 mil a year. It doesn’t make him better or put the team in a better position by how much you pay him.

 

just admit you don’t like the hire instead of trying to hide by the price tag to justify it. It’s weak.

I don't know whether the hire is good or not.

I hope he is, because otherwise it's a bad sign for our owner's football acumen.
