Still saying the same thing years later...

[Mr. Scot]

Tepper needs to hire someone with the experience, know-how, resumé and reputation for building a team, give them a title roughly equivalent to 'Supreme Ruler of Panthers Football' and let them do whatever they want.

This doesn't necessarily mean I want anybody in particular fired. It's an acknowledgement that this organization is broken and needs more than just patchwork.

While the first name that comes to mind for me is still Kevin Colbert, the passage of time is starting to make me think that might be a pipe dream.

If indeed it is, then I could also go for someone like Will McClay. Other suggestions are welcome, but whoever it is should likely be someone who's been in the game a long, long time.

It will never happen because he's too ego maniacal

I can't say whether it will happen, but I definitely believe it should.

Yes, but it will take a sea change to make that happen. While Tepper is certainly an overwhelming wrong here, he is not the only thing off with the franchise.

Dipper in a way, like Bryce, doesn't have 'it' as an owner. Just sell the damn team. You'll make 2bill...and we won't have to look at your bloated face ever again.

This could have been handled if they hired Harbaugh instead of Reich, but yes he needs a builder in here

Yes we’ve been saying this for years. Need Tepper to hire an established consulting firm to hire the leaders of football ops and the only thing Tepper should do is open his wallet and sit on his fat rich ass in his box and watch the team. It’s not gonna happen ever though. His ego is bigger than Jerry Jones’.

At this point I don't think Tepper has it in him to even make that right hire. The only hope is if the NFL has to step in and force some kind of change. Like banning Tepper for a couple of years. If they keep rolling out Young the competition comity should have a decent chance at proving tanking? That's all I have. It's not coming from Tepper and he is obviously still involved in the football stuff.

[BIGH2001]

He won’t. He supposedly hired a “search firm” this time and we ended up with 
Morgan and a coach who had no other interviews lol. 

[Mr. Scot]

In true Tepper fashion, I could see him doing this, but choosing a name nobody wants...one I won't even say due to it's evil nature but if you think about it you'll know who I mean.

My thing is, if you don't let him directly serve as the head coach or (good lord, please no) the GM but solely have him putting the organization in place, do you trust him?

If he gets the job now, it'll be your fault for saying his name three times

[Mr. Scot]

And yes, it occurs to me that selling the team technically could accomplish the same goal IF it's sold to the right person.

(i.e. someone who'll do this if Tepper won't)
