Agreed, despite those flashes of humility, the overall tone was standoff-ish and angry.  He clearly didn't like being called out of the turnover and Rovk Hill stuff.  He also did not want to fully acknowledge or own ALL of the failure that has persisted under his charge.

"repeat that"

"what do you mean?"

"I already answered that"

"what specifically are you asking"

He sound like his diaper was full....

Why would you retain a GM then not include him in the coaching search?

That doesn't make any sense.

Idk Scot...  that sounds an awful lot like hiring a GM just to not allow him to be GM, which Tepper just acknowledged he did.

And also acknowledged was a mistake.

(one he planned to correct)

Yeah, we can only hope.  I just didn't find his answers about Fitt all that positive or encouraging.  Which I think is unfair.

[pantherclaw]

Fitt most likely isn't going anywhere.  

Tepper didn't insinuate anything about him. 

The question he was asked isn't even a concern until the end of the season. 

 

fug stupidity.

Not sure how you read anything from that presser. Tepper was vague for the most part and the rest of the time he was combative. He didn't give a real answer to any of the questions asked.

Included, not choosing the coach himself. There’s a big difference.

If you read what Tepper said as meaning Fitterer is in danger, you're not "reading between", you're "reading in".

It’s called an opinion, this is what we do here on the message board. We’re not reporters but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say Fitterer didn’t get a ringing endorsement by Tepper today. Therefore his job will be up for discussion at the end of the season. 
 

I like Fitterer but I am not sure what happened behind closed doors and how much of the bad trades, specifically at QB will be put on Rhule vs Fitt

If you put a guy in a position where he doesn't have final authority, how do you then hold him responsible for the guy who did have authority sucking?

Which is why he hasn’t been fired yet. My guess is that Tepper will hire some consultants to help him with, not only the coaching search, but whether Scott should stay on and what the balance will be with the future GM and Head Coach.

It's impossible to tell who's responsible for all the QB trades and whatnot, and he's probably not trading FOR any other players the rest of the year so it's kinda hard to get a read on if anything has changed on the GM level for the rest of the year. I feel like Tepper did make a comment about how we should be in a better position with the cap and draft picks than we are currently going into next year, but again it's still unclear how much Rhule pushed for all the win now trade stuff
