  • Look, there’s plenty of things to have an issue with Tepper about, but the head coaching issue is not it. He gave Rivera an extra season that he didn’t deserve as a second chance. Rivera didn’t work out, so we rightfully cut bait. Then, Tepper put his money where his mouth is and signed the hottest head coach candidate in the 2020 offseason. It was a widely praised move. We spent a ton of money for it. Then even though he should’ve been fired after year 2, Tepper gave Rhule 1 more year to show ANY improvement, and when he didn’t, we rightfully cut bait again. Then, Tepper, after learning his lesson about an all-rookie coach squad, again put his money where his mouth is and put together a coaching staff absolutely soaked in experience and success. And when that failed hard, and we saw no chance of improvement at all, we rightfully cut bait again

    One thing you CANNOT say about Tepper is that he has 0 interest in getting the right coach, because he’s spending a ton of money and giving people more chances than they deserve




  • This rhetoric is very black or white. It’s not that you have to step in and immediately have a winning season, it’s that you have to show some improvement in not only from the previous season, but from week to week. Last year we finished the season out pretty strong and even came within a game of winning the division. But despite having mostly the same roster with a better QB option and supposedly better coaches, we’re looking worse than any of Rhule’s seasons. On top of that, the team as a whole continues to look more and more undisciplined every week. Sometimes you don’t have to wait for a 2nd season to know when someone just isn’t it, and it’s not a bad move to move along early, I’m sure any future coaching candidates will be adults about it and understand that their predecessor was the architect of their own quick downfall
