Peter King talks David Tepper

[CarolinaRideorDie]

I am not upset with the firings by David Tepper. Ron needed to be fired and is under the hot seat in Washington this year. Rhule needed to be fired too. Frank also needed to be fired as well. The biggest issue is with David's HIRING, not his FIRING!.

I don't know how people can be so confidently critical of Reich given the bad management decisions and injury  decimated roster. He might have some issues but more than anything he was the scapegoat of owner and management

I think it is fairly easy to be critical of Frank. His scheme, lack of adjustments, and game day decisions were terrible. Sure the roster is terrible, but so was Frank. Both can be true.

I actually dont mind the firing. I think the right coach can change the direction pretty quickly, but we need the right team builder and as much as I would like to like Fitt, his record is not great. 

I dont mind the aggressiveness of Tepper taking swings at QB's (Teddy, Sam, Baker) QB's  or being aggressive at drafting one, I just wish we would see some success from those swings. 

This becomes a critical offseason to right the ship.

Did he?

He wanted nothing to do with Steichen after one zoom meeting 

Steichen seems to be just fine and has Minshew as his QB

I have a feeling it was Steichen that passed on us.

He passed on us but signed up for druggie Irsay?  That doesnt compute.  Its more likely the braintrust zeroed in on Frank and used the bad zoom interview as an excuse

The best thing Dave Tepper can do is to hired a President of Football Operations.  Someone with some league executive experience who will run the team.  Do a nice public introduction where he is going to trust this person and will only be a fan.  No more talking to coaches outside of social situations.  

I think if Tepper were to hire someone good, who will stand up to Tepper, then that might make things better for a future coach.

He's got one but just doesn't know it.......................his wife.

Is there anyone in his life, or in the Panthers’ organization, who can keep David Tepper from driving this franchise off a cliff?

 

We haven't already gone off the cliff?  I think 6 losing seasons in a row is certainly not the mountain top.

With a midget qb and giving the bears the #1 overall.  How can it get any worse?

Aggressiveness is only good if you know what you're doing.

Bryce haters are gonna be mad about the bit on Bryce’ protection. 

Not really. King is a mouth piece spewing his opinion.  That doesn’t change the fact that Bryce has shown absolutely zero even when he had time.

He's right, though. Protection's been terrible.

Doesn't mean Bryce is without fault, but it's objectively true.

Old heads will get the george steinbrenner reference, got to give king credit....thats perfect for tepper, but george WON while firing coaches at will.....

It's just funny to see him so upset. Just like that tweet about horn being benched when anyone with a brain knew it wasn't because of performance
