Yeah, he got pissed.  I dont think there is a scenario where he could have come out of that looking good.  I dont think he can outright say Rhule sucks, he cant outright say he is gonna fire Fit and cant outright say Wilks is a placeholder.  I'm glad the questions came but there are only so many non-answers you can give.   The only thing I can see positive coming out of that is that he does seem to acknowledge the mistakes.  IT was brief but this might bode well for the future.

If you listen to what he said, he was pretty critical of the mismanaged resources.

So, the question is, how much responsibility did Fitterer have for that? 

The one thing he didn't do was publicly give Fitterer a vote of confidence, which he had done for Rhule previously. That's not good for Fitterer, IMO.

But then again he also said it was a mistake giving the HC control over the 53 so how does the empty suit GM factor into that when the coach has complete roster control? This is the first year where Dan Morgan and Fitterer had more say. Its like people are just literally ignoring the fact that Fitterer did not have control and Rhule was HC and GM the first two years....its been confirmed over and over and over again.

Watching again, the tipping point for Tepper was when they brought up the practice facility.. that seemed to trigger Tepper.

Definitely. He pushed back hard on that reporter. Basically daring him to ask the actual question ... "Are you the problem?" ... instead of beating around the bush

The other piece .... I was curious about why Tepper got aggressive wtih Fowler.. and I googled "Scott Fowler David Tepper" and Fowler has written some pretty negative poo on Tepper. lol. So Tepper must just despise the guy.

 

Reminds me of that time that Rivera blew up on David Newton for trying to spark a "concussion gate" here

I do sense that Fit isn't safe as well. It could also be holding on to a bargaining chip for a future HC ... letting them pick their GM.

I don't think so. If you recall, he said that it would be more of a "balance" in the future. I think that was a direct shot at the decision to let Rhule have final roster say.

I’ve been on Fitterer for awhile. His massive waste of draft capital for bad deals and poor trade value has been a major issue. 

See ^

Its honestly hilarious 

We'll say it again since the owner literally confirming it just a few minutes ago didn't have it sink in.

 

MATT RHULE HAS BEEN THE HC AND GM THE FIRST TWO YEARS
