DAVID TEPPER: WHY WILL NEXT YEAR BE DIFFERENT IF YOU KEEP MATT RHULE???

David Tepper owes the fans an a legit explanation why Matt Rhule is being kept for a third season.

This was probably the worst Panthers team since the 2010 season. Which is amazing given how much “better” the defense is supposed to be. 

Matt Rhule doesn’t have a signature win in 2 seasons as Panthers head coach. The 2021 season ends with a 7 game losing streak and losing 12 of their last 14 games. There is no way else to put it, this team SUCKED. They got blown out in many games and even gave up against the freaking GIANTS who are finishing 4-13.

The fans need an explanation why an obviously unqualified head coach is being kept for a 3rd season. Is your goal to tank in 2022? Are you too embarrassed to fire him because of the massive contract you gave to a coach that was 0-11 against ranked teams in his college job? Did you even know that before you gave Rhule that contact? I bet you didn’t!

It’s ridiculous Matt Rhule is coming back. This team is clearly poorly coached and everyone except the people inside the organization seem to realize it. 

Show us your brass balls and admit you made a mistake. Next year won’t be any better if you keep this guy.

Tepper, please step away from the football operations. Offer Kevin Colbert a blank check to run the football operations and you just play Monopoly money with the business side of the house.

And enjoy your wins!

Or... keep trying to recreate the wheel with NFL novices and enjoy your losses.

Yep. Brilliant in finance doesn't automatically mean brilliant in football. Colbert is only 65. Tepper is 64. Colbert has already announced he's retiring after the draft. Unless it's due to health or family reasons, convince him to come fix this mess and mentor a heir apparent. Pay him whatever he wants. What's it to you? You're worth billions. Tens of millions are a rounding error. You say you want to build a winner. You say mediocrity isn't acceptable. Prove it. Right now, we need considerable improvement to get back to mediocrity. Marinate on that.

Honestly, if the reports were true that Tepper was one of the part-owners leading the charge to get Tomlin fired, I wouldn't be surprised if he and Colbert don't exactly see eye to eye, considering how that situation played out.

Reports out of Pittsburgh would indicate that Colbert and Tomlin aren't exactly best buddies.

There's apparently been a bit of a power struggle there.

If he possesses the level of intelligence he is reported to have, there is no way he has watched this season and can rationally arrive at the conclusion that there will be any improvement.

And that is why it feels like just a huge middle finger to the fanbase.

I mean how freaking hard can it be to manage a hedge fund? I would think the hardest part would be getting the money but after that Helen Keller could be in charge of it and you would still be straight

Well, maybe he's seeing that he was the dumbass in that scenario. It happens. We're all dumbasses occasionally. What separates the dyed in the wool dumbasses from the occasional dumbasses is largely the ability to recognize when you were being a dumbass.

I'd be interested to know the dynamics there, for sure.  Because Tomlin has remained while continuing to win, and they consistently excel on roster building and talent acquisition and development. 

Meanwhile, Tepper in Carolina...

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
