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.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
