    Warning; Earning these millions can lead to unemployment. Symptoms include financial freedom, early retirement and golfing. Please do not earn these millions if you don’t have a tax shelter. Do not take these millions if you are allergic to stupid amounts of money. Talk to your David Tepper about making millions today.

    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.

      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.

    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

    “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

      To be fair if they had just stuck you on the sideline doing absolutely nothing we would probably have the same record

    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

      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 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’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.”
