Besides hiring Rhule what has been Tepper's biggest mistake so far?

I actually think structure is his biggest mistake overall.  If the structure is right, the coach situation would take care of itself.

This is spot on to me. Too much power with no checks/balances. I really like what the Niners did with Lynch/Kyle (which still should only be used for a high profile candidate like Kyle was). The head coach from Baylor with little NFL experience should never start off with that kind of power and no checks/balances.

"ketchup" or "catsup"...

The Tomlin Narrative is 100% #FakeNews 🤦‍♂️

Not shutting down the speculation about Mr. Whip-It-Out is a mistake...

 

Maybe he wants “Mr Whip-It-Out”??? 😳😳😳😳

 

PS- How dare you imply Tepper made a mistake?! Do you know how much he is worth?!?! 😡😡😡🤦🤦🧜‍♀️

To be objective, let’s list pros and cons:

Cons:

-Hurney, and furthermore trusting him with contracts and a coach search

-Showing inexperience, ineptness and embarrassment by thing like trying to interview capable GMs while not possible as Hurney was GM

-Refusal hire help, doing it, and failing, himself

-Hiring Rhule, too much to point out here

-Rhule’s contract

-Rhule’s control from draft to cronyism, and in essence trying to defy history’s couple of blueprints to success; trying too hard to be a path maker

-Not firing Rhule, and yet to be seen but sabotage the franchise future even more so, performance has gone downhill somehow coinciding with destroying a healthy cap

-Allowing poo to be thrown at the wall instead of focusing on targeting capable people to conduct meaningful evaluations and analyzations 

-Goes into hiding, which would be fine if that was his personality, but judging by the past two years that’s not true - he’s hiding

-Disregarding PSL owners with things like putting his revenue first (getting rid of end zone seats fuging their owners etc.)

-Changing tradition (keep pounding), ignoring game day experience for the most part

-Most likely fuging tax payers and doubling down fuging PSL owners with a new stadium (wait and see but likely)

-Just needs one more losing season to solidify the worst era in Panther’s history, and as a historical below average team sitting on top of the bottom third of the NFL in many categories, that’s saying a lot

-Claiming success takes 5 years or according to Rhule, 7 years, another embarrassing and distraction, clearly a statement from inexperience and possibly complacency, but probably true for his strategic method of throwing poo at a wall

-Leaving the franchise to rot while focusing on side projects

Pros:

-Logo at midfield 

-High tech practice field, moving on from Wofford (thanks god)

-Including SC somewhat more, though this was more a revenue play


 

I won’t go into Cam. He’s clearly done and didn’t want to play without an extension. So that wasn’t the mistake. The mistake was not having a replacement or capability to find one, for several years and ongoing. 
 

Not looking good.

His 2nd biggest mistake was being so vocal and visible early on. Now everybody expects daily updates from him 

I think it's more that he had no issues being vocal when he thought he was outsmarting the league. Now that the emperor has no clothes, the silence just seems like cowardice without humility. Probably not the case but, as they say, perception is everything.

All the owners share the league's revenue so he is making money regardless. But biggest mistake besides hiring Matt Rhule was not firing Hurney with Ron Rivera.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
