Are there any examples of owners who had a terrible start and then were able to turn things around...meaning make smart football decisions? You know what I mean here

So...got anyone?

Pegula in Buffalo 

Benson in NO

Haslam sorta changing tune in Cleveland.

Pegula hired Rex Ryans as his first HC. He was smart enough to fire him after two .500 seasons though, and hired McDermott from us soon after. I'm sure fans up in Buffalo were screaming that Ryan didn't have enough time to get things together like we have with Rhule on the Huddle.

Benson bought the team in 1985 and the Saints sucked until Payton outside of a few Dome Patrol years.

If it takes Tepper 21 years to find a good HC then just fug my poo up.

I made a thread on it a while ago but there is a learning curve. Not all is lost.

You will probably see it with the Broncos in a few years because to in some ways even with their loaded roster

Jerry Jones is the exception because if he were In the salary cap era they would have struggled just like the Panthers.

Then here’s hoping Tepper catches on sooner rather than later.

Im just disproving the sentiment around here that once things are bad they are always bad.

I agree with you, but if it takes a long time I hope Tepper takes a "throw poo at the wall and see what sticks" approach rather than "stick by regimes that are clearly flatlining" approach.

Unfortunately to me, it looks like he's taking the latter.

Yeah if Rhule gets to do it with QB's and his OC, why doesn't Tepper do it with the HC? It's the only area where he can use the power of being super rich since the players have a cap limit. Either way might as well wait til next year to find a new HC and hope Rhule doesn't trade away the entire 2023 draft for Jimmy G

He's using his money to buy soccer teams that nobody in the CLT area will care about.

I do not even want to think about how old I will be then. 

Going to the NFC Championship game in Charlotte was an awesome experience.  Can't believe this team has just fallen so much every year since and has gotten to this point.

[Panthering]

I asked myself the exact same question about QBs when we traded for Darnold, I'll bet there's not many examples but you do have a longer time period as an owner.

[Chief Keek]

Very seldom does it happen. Tepper would be in great position if he would just sit back, shut up, and sign checks. Coincide that with kicking Rhule to the curb he would be making a instant turn around. He's got a great front office with Fitterer and Morgan, just fall back and let them do their jobs.
