What is Tepper seeing that nobody else here sees?

[PantherPhann89]

Tepper may be seeing the 7 year $60 million contract he's paying Rhule. Maybe he's willing to give Rhule another year or mayber he hasn't decided what to do yet. Instead of bashing the owner of the team we support, support.

[LinvilleGorge]

I think Tepper cares, I just think he's clueless. I hope he's willing to eat crow and admit his mistake. Then I hope he hires consultants to help him hire the next guy so he doesn't get sold by a high school coach rah rah plan.

Tepper eating the remaining $50M is the financial equivalent of me attending a Panthers game with decent seats and having a couple of beers in the stadium. Not exactly something he's going to feel a hit from.

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. 

Care to elaborate?

True, if you could also write that game off as a business expense. 

Most people can't comprehend how little 50m is to someone like Tepper.

Chances are Dave makes more off his investments on any given day than what Matt's 7 year contract is costing him.

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?

Any would be candidates for the Panthers head coaching job are following the situation in Carolina. Tepper committed to a rebuild. If Tepper fires Rhule before it is perceived he (Rhule) had a fair opportunity any quality candidates might be hesitant to show interest. These last games are important not just for the score, but the effort of the players.  That may be the difference in Rhule’s future.

Current estimate of Tepper's wealth:  15-16 billion.

[PNW_PantherMan]

My personal theory is that Tepper is giving Rhule the end of the season to audition for next year.  Thats part of why Cam was brought in and Joe Brady was fired.  I'm guessing he's not on track to pass that audition, and will be fired after the season.

Running a financial hedge fund doesn't necessarily translate to football. The man seems clueless on how to run a winning football organization.

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

Are you seriously suggesting that Tepper spent over 2 billion dollars to by an NFL team as some sort of grand scheme that would eventually lead to his final dream of owning an MLS franchise? And now, having done so he doesn't care/ has no use for his NFL team?

Lololololololol

Some of you are dumb as fuging rocks.

Everyone should be fired for passing on Justin Fields or Mac Jones. Even with Darnold on the roster it was VERY dumb passing on a rookie QB. Instead they will pay Sam Darnold $18m next season to be on a different team.

It's real hard to be a fan of this team after all the dumb sh*t they did.
