Are we now actively pulling for David Tepper to fail?

[bandu]

even if  Tepper was to get lucky again  like he did when Wilkes almost took the team to the playoffs it would not take him long to screw a good thing up

so yeah I think Tepper will always be a loser in the NFL...

making him miserable and embarrassed is the only silver lining in it that I can find.

Tepper embarrassed or miserable?  Its a nice thought but I highly doubt it, more like

AFA wanting him to fail, I think the only real way out of it might be if his marriage failed and the wife went after the team in the settlement, and things got so bad he just said fug it take the team leave me alone. I'll just buy another team.

This is an mildly interesting story, if anyone remembers Georgia Frontiere - who inherited majority stake in the Rams. There isn't a parallel because she inherited the team.

I know his pride is taking a beating. He's very unaccustomed to getting beat down and embarrassed and not being able to just bully his way through any problem with his wealth. Financially he's obviously doing fantastically but he really does want to win and he's really trying and that's why it's gotta be embarrassing.

If you are waiting for Tepper to sell.....you will be waiting a very long time. Our next owner will be Nicole Tepper. Get used to it.

I'm not rooting for him to fail but I do feel like i'm rooting for the the kid thats last to be picked for a kickball team...

A lot of us have probably seen this in our jobs. I plied my trade for a long time and at one point worked some with a rich amateur. He thought because he whipped ass to make his money in business wheeling and dealing that he knew my business that I had been doing for probably well over 15 years at the time. Wrong.

It was embarrassing and eventually I told him to lose my number. But that's the way things work too often. 

Actually he never learned but it was talent and skill based occupation and all the love you might have for it doesn't help much if you aren't able to perform to whatever level. 

Tepper does not have that hurdle, he only has to know he doesn't know. That's a challenge too though, as we have seen. I really am hoping he is being shown the light. He has been in trial and error school now for long enough.

I don't think the meetings, or wanting them, is a problem in itself.

It is more like him ignoring his limitations next to professionals, and using his power to feed his ego in those meetings that would wrench things up. 

Why is the turnover in the executive positions horrendous? Maybe the worst ever in the NFL. Had one dude who was in some of the top positions in the NFL and lasted like 6 months here. I know JP Morgan guys said he was an absolute piece of poo to work with. Think about that. Top guys on Wall Street, literal demons who probably traffic children said they couldn't stand him. Turnover in Tepper Sports if absolutely awful. If someone can explain the turnover that would be cool. Why does everyone leave a great job? I always thought the opposite happened.

As a Panther fan to my grave,  I pray he gets it right and turns it around. 

 

What else is there? Another owner that isn't even a known commodity,  and will have their own learning curve?;

Sometimes I wonder if the huddle even has a brain.

You know damn well he will make the pick next draft.  He can’t help himself

I don't doubt any of that. If you own the business, whether or not you are an asshole is secondary though, inside that business.

We can't all quit like his employees though. Well, we could, and I'm not sure I won't. He is on his last chance for me, life is too short to 'keep pounding' my head into the wall while hoping it will magically change.
