I would actually love that and he deserves it after writing that ridiculous letter to Trump. "Bill you're a LOSER now and nobody likes a loser. You've lost your touch, everyone is talking about it, you don't know how to win. Thank you, Bill, but you're fired!"

Donald Trump was too much of a coward to fire Omarosa from the White House, there’s no way he’d have the balls to fire Bill Belichick.

https://x.com/DMRussini/status/1732398998915363170?s=20quote:League sources said Tepper struggled with the decision to fire Reich. But the combination of Young’s difficulty understanding Reich’s offense, specifically the reads, timing and ball placement, as well as Young’s lack of protection, convinced the owner the organization wasn’t helping its quarterback, but ruining him. quote:The heat was turning up on Reich, with The Athletic reporting after the game against the Bears that ownership needed to see more progress on offense. Reich was getting the message as well: On the Monday following the Week 10 loss at Chicago, Reich announced he would be calling plays again. quote:At one point, several coaches wanted to bench Young in favor of Dalton, who had the Panthers’ only 300-yard passing game when Young missed the Week 3 game at Seattle with an ankle injury. But those conversations never reached Reich, Fitterer or ownership, according to high-ranking team sources.

I would love to know specifically which coaches wanted him benched. If for some reason he isn't grasping the offense and you also fear that the protection was going to get him hurt, why would that not be an option?

Tepper's certainly fired people for less than "somebody at the top of the offense is a dumbass; either your wife's favorite tiny quarterback, or your slam dunk coaching hire" what an absolute shitshow.

I'm assuming at this point Tepper wants him starting, because iirc the plan in the off-season was to have Dalton starting at the beginning of the season and transition into Bryce becoming the starter for the rest of the year. But then Reich announced that Bryce was the starter and they haven't looked back. At this point I think if they bench Bryce, they think they're saying that he's not the guy, and I don't think Tepper will let that happen. He'd rather keep him out there in order to save face than protect the guy they threw a bunch of resources at to grab StupidSexyMothman posted:what an absolute shitshow. Someone said that Tepper is speedrunning his Snyder run, and that feels accurate

The knives coming out immediately from assistants is an extra level of fuckery. Tepper involved himself in which assistants were being hired right? It's such a shitshow over there they've scored a point for coaching nepotism.

You can’t bench a guy you spent multiple 1st round picks to take 1st overall, whose big selling point is that he was pro ready coming out, after he’s started half a season. Aside from the fact the the owner would never allow it the optics would be terrible and it would be a huge blow to his confidence. Flores did that to Tua and it really negatively affected him.

Seems like Tua recovered ok (obviously Mike McDaniel helped that a ton, but getting the poo poo knocked out of him didn't help him any). Patrick Mahomes was a 1st rounder that KC traded up for and sat for a year. He seems like he's been ok. Every single bit of this is on David Tepper.

I know we always say that only 32 head coaching jobs exist. So someone's gonna take it. But surely all this poo poo has to impact Carolina's ability to lure competent candidates? I can't imagine a less appealing situation to walk into. The owner is absolutely clueless about football but insists on meddling at every level, from draft picks to staff hires to low level coaching and play calling decisions. He's talking to your staff behind your back. People inside the building are actively texting candidates telling them not to apply. And then when all that meddling backfires, he publicly throws you under the bus and fires your rear end. This Tepper saga is loving wild. It makes working for Irsay or Haslam look like the model of stability. Why would anyone who has more than one option willingly go to the Panthers at this point? "8 figure payout to only work 12 weeks before you're canned" does sound appealing. But it's going to take years for your reputation to recover from having the stink of this team on you.

And no matter what rationale the team gave nobody (including Bryce) would ever see Bryce getting benched after losing 10 games as anything but performance based. Has any team ever benched a perfectly healthy QB for their own safety? It doesn’t happen, if the guy is good and he’s healthy you play him. Besides, what’s the message it sends to players if you say “we can’t protect the QB, he’s going to get hurt, let’s throw Andy out there to take the hits”? Mahomes went to a team that was already a playoff caliber team with a good starter. He didn’t start the season and then get benched. If they’d never started Bryce it would be one thing but pulling the plug 2/3rds of the way through the season is way different.

And no matter what rationale the team gave nobody (including Bryce) would ever see Bryce getting benched after losing 10 games as anything but performance based. I wasn't saying that Flores was doing it for Tua's own good, just that he wasn't completely destroyed going forward from it happening (and that having McDaniel and those WRs has helped a ton). You have to be mentally strong to be at the highest level, and if you can't deal with a coach doubting you and the adversity of getting benched, then maybe you just don't belong. To the second point, I could definitely see a team understanding that a veteran like Dalton may have a better grasp on protections and the offense and would be at a lesser risk of getting hosed up (he took sacks at about half the rate of Bryce in his one start). The coaching and skill positions have been bad, but Bryce has loving sucked too. It would look bad to bench your #1 pick, but it also looks awful when he's playing and getting lapped by the rest of the class as well anyway. The Mahomes situation is valid, but if it was Tepper putting pressure to have Bryce be the guy from the start, then you're just in a poo poo situation to begin with if he isn't grasping stuff.
