What is Tepper seeing that nobody else here sees?

[mc52beast]

I’m going on the assumption that Dave has no plans of firing Matt this year. His comments about it could take five years makes me think this.

So as he has watched us go from 3-0 to 5-8, has watched Sam Darnold be everything he was in NY, has watched an o-line more resemble a pee-wee team than professionals and has watched a defense with some players seeming to quit…

What is he seeing that nobody else here sees? What is it that would make him think another year would be any different?

It might be what he's NOT seeing. Everyone else is seeing that he's made a colossal mistake.

I'm not convinced that this assumption is correct.

I think Tepper's statement about taking five years shouldn't be taken that he thinks a coach will get a blank check for 5 years.  I think that the next few games are critical.  Can Rhule find a way to get this team to put up a good fight and maybe steal a couple games in the hardest part of its schedule (lol no)?  If so, then that could bolster him getting a 3rd season.

It isn't just having a losing record, or starting 3-0 and falling so far.  It is the way in which the team is losing that I think means it is unlikely he gets another year.

Dave Tepper's not talking AFAIK.

Dave could've come out already and given his public vote of confidence for Matt.  That hasn't happened.

We may find out what Tepper is thinking after week 16 concludes.  That'll be when the window of opportunity for interviewing coaching candidates opens.

Doesn't make much sense for the Panthers to say anything before that time.

All he sees is Charlotte FC soccer, he could care less about this football team.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Rhule is simply not demonstrating he has a grasp on game day management.  Week after week the Panthers are being taken advantage of by opponents that seem better prepared and more familiar with the Panthers tendencies than the Panthers themselves.

We don't know this at all.

I don't really care what week Rhule gets fired.  But, if he gets another year then Tepper is officially a lousy owner in my book.  If he trots out Rhule and Darnold again next year we are the new Bungles.

As long as he sees this:

He doesn't care about this:

Oh I know I can tell since he took over team. All he ever wanted was a soccer team, tell me different.

Ok, I will.

Tepper flew to Rhule's house and helped carry in the guy's luggage, then agreed to meet all of Rhule's demands and finally offered the biggest contract ever for a first time NFL coach.  That's the guy who doesn't care?

Whatever dude. 

How can you possibly expect to be taken seriously making such unfounded comments?

Tepper wants football and soccer for the same singular reason… legalized gambling.  Which is coming sooner rather than later.  That’s what’s he’s hedged his bet.

What I've got shows Dave Tepper was highly motivated to beat out other teams to secure the coach he wanted for his franchise.

What you have are claims without evidence.
