What would happen if he couldn’t find a single person to take the job lol
There’s only 32 jobs and they have a young qb that can be salvaged. Someone will put up with any owner to take a head coaching job.
How much is Tepper paying people to not coach?
I'll still take the job, Tepper. Hit me up.
Tepper has become r/NFL’s new Snyder.
Snyder: Literally trafficked and prostituted his cheerleaders, gave expired food to fans, allowed shit water to fill the stadium and rain on people
Tepper: Fires a head coach that has shown 0 improvement
Somehow the same thing
This. As far as the Panthers go, if he is guilty of anything it's wanting to win REALLLLYY badly, and having absolutely ZERO idea on how to make it happen.
For real it's getting ridiculous. Has Tepper shown himself to be a good owner? No, but his failings as an owner are tied to him hiring the wrong guys. He hires the right guys and that pretty much solves all the issues.
Also, especially when you look at other situations around the league where you have cheap owners holding onto shitty HCs because of the money (looking at you Spanos) it's nice that Tepper isn't one of those guys.
Give me that shit so I can get fired and never have to work again
Everybody want to be Jimbo.
Wanna be co-head coaches? Let's Madden this shit
It would be a job well suited to someone like Meyer or Hackett or McDaniels who could set themselves up financially if they got a 6 or 7 year contract which would have to be settled on dismissal.
That’s what Houston had to do after the Lovie and Culley one and done years. Demeco got a 6 year contract to do what he needs to do.
Something tells me Tepper is still gonna fuck it up regardless of who he picks
Yeah I already know my team is in the deepest pit of hell and is probably damned there for eternity. I don't need national media telling me that! Fuck you!
Reich worked for half a year and got millions.
Gimme that fucking job.
To be fair if they had just stuck you on the sideline doing absolutely nothing we would probably have the same record
"this guy might fire you after 6 months and then you'll get paid $30m to do nothing"
This is a warning I would ignore
Quite frankly, even with red flags, I don’t think candidates can afford to be picky. There are only 5-6 openings for HC positions in the NFL every year. This is one of the most prestigious and well paid positions in the world. Waiting out a year could result in your momentum crashing so it’d be a huge risk to wait it out
Also if you get fired, you get paid millions not to work.
What kind of candidates are you referring to? Because quality candidates can absolutely choose to be picky. Ben Johnson is regarded as one of the most sought after HC candidates this upcoming offseason, he interviewed for the Panthers job last season and ultimately decided to stay in Detroit.
And a different angle about momentum crashing, a prospective HC can crash their value by going to a dysfunctional franchise that results in a short stint and spits them back out to being a coordinator or position coach. Sure they’ll get the guaranteed money from the initial HC contract, but with their reputation damaged, they’ll have lost their earning power in subsequent HC contracts.
Sought after HCs don’t always turn out to be good HCs tho. Adam Gase was a sought after HC. So was Hue Jackson at one point. It really doesn’t track, which is why teams miss on coaching hires all the time.
I wish I could get paid 30 million to get fired mid season
They should hire a Panthers beat journalist for maximum 🍿
Hey everyone! Here's a little more from USA TODAY Sports NFL columnist Jarrett Bell:
Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper is positioned to hire what will be his third coach in less than two years, with Frank Reich getting the job in January after Matt Rhule was fired in 2022. His track record is not good.
After Steve Wilks inspired a turnaround as interim coach last season – Rhule started 1-4, then Wilks went 6-6 – Tepper dismissed the potential and looked the other way. Let’s not forget that. He didn’t give Wilks a chance, despite the apparent infusion of life injected into his franchise last season with his defensive coordinator in charge.
So, Tepper, like too many NFL owners, sought an offensive-minded coach and burned himself.
Sure, there are many examples of offensive coaches-done-well, just as there are defensive coaches and special-teams coaches who have done well. The key is to hire the coach who can command the room and chart the course, regardless of whether they came up on offense.
In Carolina’s case, Tepper is another type of X-factor. He signed off on the big trade with the Chicago Bears in March that allowed the Panthers to move up to the top slot in the draft – they swapped first-round picks in 2023, the Panthers gave up a first-round choice in 2024 and second-round picks in 2023 and 2025, plus star receiver DJ Moore. A lot of team owners would have done that, with GM Scott Fitterer undoubtedly brokering the deal.
The trade looks even worse now, given the Panthers' plummet. The No. 1 pick overall in next year’s draft that will come if (or when) Carolina finishes this season with the NFL’s worst record now belongs to Chicago.
Then there’s the huge question of whether the Panthers selected Bryce Young rather than C.J. Stroud with the No. 1 pick overall in order to appease the team owner. In other words, Young was Tepper’s pick. Stroud might have been Reich’s pick. If that was the case, the mud about now is even thicker on Tepper’s fingers.

That's not mud on his fingers...
I’m a solid play caller in Madden. As long as you like going for it every single 4th down no matter what, we’re gonna make a great team.
Don’t forget an excessive amount of onside kicks
I’ve had owner/bosses like that. Hated them all. They know how to wine and dine you and make you feel great initially. But the first time you disagree with them or do something they don’t like they turn into an irrational tyrant and your ass is as good as gone. I believe the term for it is “toxic.”
I really want to know what goes on for an NFL coach to be hired. Because I would like to be hired as an NFL coach and then fired with a guaranteed contract.
I get the feeling at some point there's going to be a Scooby Doo situation and we'll remove Tepper's mask to find Dan Snyder underneath.
And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those meddling redditors.
Just imagine you’re a billionaire team owner, and you hire a coaching staff that wants to draft CJ Stroud, but for some reason you override their pick and instead draft a guy who scored better on a written test and low and behold it backfires. I never understood why team owners hire professionals who know the sport better than they can pretend to and then try to tell them how to do the job.
Tepper should just hire the best Madden player in the world and see what happens.
And this is why the media is dumb and people watch random youtubers for sports talk. The most prestigious coaches will probably turn him down, but the Texans had a couple 1 and dones and still got a coach. Oh no, they don't have a 1st round pick. Sean Payton took the Broncos job without a first round pick. Oh no, Bryce is a bust. I'm willing to bet that Bryce isn't a bust but I am a panthers fan so I'm a homer. I'm confident he's going to start playing better now that Reich is gone and the panthers will win more games in their final 6 than they won in their first 11. They're nowhere near as bad as Reich made them look. I think the narrative will be that wow Reich really was bad and Tepper wasn't a moron to fire him. Tepper should remove himself from interfering in other ways, but the firing was deserved and he'll have little trouble finding a new head coach that will actually be willing to try something different when his scheme isn't working
coach o !
