Hard to believe that Tepper did not get his fill of being embarrassed long before now. He has turned this team into a joke and it will be tough to recover from this.

A little part of me enjoys watching him fail. The last thing the Carolinas needed was some arrogant douche from Pittsburgh buying the Panthers but here we are. Charlotte FC is probably going to be an even bigger joke and I’m not even being hyperbolic

I think as the offseason goes on, it's only going to become clearer that Rhule should have been let go.

Bit late for that now, though.

Never have we seen this level of disfunction .  Tepper must have his head up his ass.

Tepper repeating his mistake of keeping Rivera a year too long all over again.

And Hurney...

Speaking of which, some guy on Twitter told Josh Klein that there was a stipulation in the team's sale contract that Marty had to be kept for two years.

Don't know if Twitter guy is in a position to know such things (kinda doubt it) but it's an interesting thought.

Hurney was the bigger mistake IMO.

Would be hilarious if some of the guys Rhule just hired got offers elsewhere and hoofed it.

No disagreement there - they both should have been gone after 2018. The whole sequence of events from end of 2018 to now is just head-scratcher after head-shaker.

Would somewhat explain why he kept him around. I’m not sure why Tepper would’ve agreed to that and it could hurt the Panthers in the long run.

He would do the same

Tepper knows he got screwed and is pissed.  His vengeance is to let Rhule dig his own hole so deep he never gets out... like it puts the lotion in the basket deep...

I think that was reported/speculated when the head scratching was going on about why Hurney was still around.  I doubt we'll ever know.  That sort of stipulation is probably not as unusual as people would think.

The question I have if it is true is why fire Rivera before Hurney, even if Rivera did not have such a stipulation?  Tepper did recognize that the organization was a mess, and if you were saddled with the GM for two years and have questions about whether he was part of the reason for the mess or just a victim of it, why let him have a say in who the coach is until you figure that out?

The reason for publication was to let Rivera get a leg up on searching for another HC job, but I'd probably have held onto him for another year and unload them both, assuming Rivera was not going to pull a rabbit out of his hat.  

Both had to go, and until the triggers on both barrels could pulled, I miss the point of pulling one and letting the other poison the new coach.

Then again, I don't own an NFL team so I guess the question is moot.
