Is Tepper trying to humiliate Rhule?

It’s probably starting to look obviously to Tepper that Rhule fleeced him in my opinion. Is there a possibility that Tepper has started to see this and wants to punish Rhule by keeping him on and letting him keep losing like he is? 

I know it’s illogical since it’s cutting the nose to spite the face but Rhule’s embarrassing showing this past three years has me clutching straws.

It's some serious self ownage if he is. Rhule will be fine. Once Tepper fires him he'll likely have another college job pretty quickly. Probably not a powerhouse program. Hell, maybe not even a P5 program. But he'll have no problem getting another college job.

I just think Tepper is really struggling to come to grips with him being so sold on this guy that he gave him a ludicrous contract and amount of organizational control and he proved to be very, very wrong. He's struggling to swallow that bitter pill.

There's no conspiracy.

Rhule is just that bad.

I think you meant to say Tepper is that bad right?

Im not questioning how incompetent Rhule is but trying to figure out the motivations for Tepper in keeping Rhule. Is simply hubris or maybe the scenario I’ve painted here….

Tepper was gullible enough to hire him in the first place.

He may also have been gullible enough to believe that Rhule's magical third year turnaround was actually going to happen.

This is my guess too. As a billionaire hedge fund guy you probably have a lot of trust in your instincts and ability to read people. Watching your instincts lead you to being fleeced by a guy like Rhule probably stings quite a bit.

I agree.  If Tepper was smart, he would realize that people would have a lot more respect for him if he admitted his mistake, and corrected it.  It really is the elephant in the room....everyone knows he messed up...just come clean and move on.  This team has some good players...get the right coach, and they could be competitive.

Jerry Richardson always trusted the wrong people.

Unfortunately, it looks like David Tepper has the same problem.

The question is whether there will ever come a time when he understands that or is willing to admit it.

Yep.  And Tepper went into a pointless season.  It always felt that way and that is what we are getting.

      Well said.  we usually develop our opinions based on the websites we frequent, highlight reels, discussion boards, and NFL Network.  In that process, we call ourselves "informed," but we really are not.  Unfortunately, neither are the experts.  It still blows my mind that first rounders have successful careers 53% of the time, and second rounders are about half of that. So as hard as we (and they) pound the table for this player or that player, it is a crap shoot in the first round and in the second, it is worse than the odds playing craps in Vegas.  And they (the experts) have combines and pro days and interviews etc.  and they still suck at it. All that to say, I am wrong as much as the GMs are-that should make me feel good, but it does not.  You have to recall who you pounded the table for in the drafts four or five years ago and see where they are now. Acting like I know and they do not is stupid, so I hope that they see what I cannot.  I think the best chance of hitting a home run in round 1:  Jeanty.
