Now you are that being negative for the sake of being negative. Yeah, Tepper has been awful and this coaching staff has been awful. And Tepper should have canned Rhule awhile ago. But I find it extremely unlikely that he lets Rhule stay after this season. 

No, I'm really not. I'm being realistic. There's absolutely no evidence that this team will ever even be mediocre under Tepper, there's absolutely no evidence Tepper has any desire to want them to be successful here, and there's ESPECIALLY no evidence Tepper is going to fire Rhule before his contact is up. 

Anything to the contrary has been wishful thinking supported by emotion, not logic.

The fact that Rhule wasn’t fired after season two tells me two things about Tepper (both equally as scary). 
 

1.  He puts his money ahead of logical decision making. (Most likely in my opinion)

2. He didn’t have the foresight to see what a bunch of jabronies on a message board could clearly see after two years.

But a plan has to unfold. If he fires Rhule who does he replace him with in season? Sure Wilks would work but if he can get anything out of this team will it interline him from hiring his next head coach, someone who might not be on the horizon till some smoke clears for whatever reason that may be. And our offense will still be stagnant cause we have McAdoodoo. As bad as Rhule needs to be fired a plan has to be worked out. When your front door blows off during a hurricane u don't rush out during the storm to replace it u wait till the storm has blown thru then take action. GOD THIS TEAM is enept

GOTTA TRUST ME BRO. BRO TRUST ME. BRO. TRUST. ME.

The second is the scariest by far.

This take is entirely emotional my friend lol. Tepper has been garbage, but to suggest there’s no evidence this team could ever be good under him is a bit dense. He’s only had one hiring. He failed at it miserably and has stubbornly failed to admit his mistake. But he did make that hire one of the highest paid coaches in the entire league at the time. It’s his pride that’s letting him down.

And saying there’s no evidence Tepper will fire Rhule is also silly. What evidence do you expect before it happens? Do you think he would come out and say “well honestly I’m thinking about firing him but we will see”

You are being a bit dramatic. I understand it’s bleak. But suggesting Tepper would not fire Rhule for 3 more years and all the top QBs will stay in school rather than come here is dramatic. And you know that lol

Tepper seems to me like an extremely impatient prick who is impossible to work for, hence the resignations of two presidents of his org.

Was talking to a guy at the Riot tailgate yesterday who told me about the construction ordeal in Rock Hill. Apparently Tepper wanted more money from the state/county and when he didn't get what he wanted he just pulled out of the deal in the middle of the night. Ultimately sunk the construction company into bankruptcy. There are a lot of people in SC who hate his guts.

 

I can see people hating him. Hell, I’d say the majority of fans hate him. I know I do and he hasn’t cost me a dime.

If I lost a front door, I would makeshift an interim door, and then hire my choice of new door after the storm is over. 
 

Depending on how much I trust that door, I’d let the door select its own new carpet, windows, and evaluate the furniture and see what needs replacing. And then the door can pick some fresh paint to take advantage and compliment the new decor so it all works togeth…ah fug it I hate my analogy.

There has been some speculation about Rhule being in line for coaching positions at Nebraska and Arizona State. I'm just wondering if Tepper is trying to get those schools to pay some of what is owed Rhule before he releases him from his contract. 

That is the way most NFL coaching contracts work.  They are basically a personal services contract.  If Tepper fires Rhule tomorrow, he has to pay him for the next 4+ years until the term of the contract runs out.  By the same token, if Rhule takes another coaching job, his new salary (up to the $8.5M per year he is given here) offsets what Tepper pays him.  So, if Arizona State pays him $6M a year, he gets that from ASU but only $2.5M from Tepper.

Or he can negotiate a buyout with Tepper that effectively ends his contract here and he gets less that the remaining 4+ years worth, but his future salaries are free and clear.

The normal offset also requires the coach actively seek another coaching job.  So Rhule can't just sit on his arse in front of the tube and watch reruns of Gilligan's Island.

That is, unless Tepper did something stupid and unusual in the contract (aside from the stupid and unusual of giving him full control over the roster).  Considering Hurney was involved, anything is possible.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
