David Tepper speaks to the media about coaching change 

The worst press conference I’ve ever heard.

Awesome to hear about all the economic development and concerts! Really makes me forget about the absolute garbage he's been putting on the football field for 5 years.

Not a Panthers fan but I wanted to come in here and say I feel truly bad for you all. There is nothing worse than rooting for a team that is hamstrung by an intrusive owner that insists on making all the football decisions despite having zero qualification to do so. It feels helpless until he sells the team which might not be for a long time

Bro the second question guy is a savage

I am glad the reporters are asking the harsh questions. They are letting him know what we are feeling.

The NFL ain't wall street, you can't rig and buy your way to the top

This man said a whole lot without saying anything….It’s hard for a billionaire to look in the mirror and figure out what the real problem is

We need to put Tepper in on the O-line

Dave Tepper has ruined this franchise. He might have patience but how long do we have to wait to see actual progress?

Wilks was this team's coach. He earned the respect of the players and that was shown on the field... Tepper has destroyed the keep pounding standards set B4 he decided to buy this team.

This dude had plenty of opportunity to admit he is the problem and tip toed around it. #firetepper

Shouts out to the reporter who asked the last question HE'S THE REAL MVP!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody gives a f*** about concerts and soccer we care about the Panthers. Dude didn't even answer the first question at all and it was actually a good question to which we all wanted answers! Why even go up there if you will not answer questions about specifics? The Panthers already had a small fan base when Tepper took over and it has only gotten smaller since then. Shameful!

I miss mr Richardson so bad

What Tep should’ve said was first and foremost I will be adding Scott Fitterer to the deluxe Frank Reich 1-10 pack and I will be hiring a president of football operations for the Carolina Panthers to hire a GM and HC going into the 2024 season.

yall remember what it was like before david tepper? man I miss those days

Jerry Richardson was a WAY better owner than David Tepper the difference between the two Richardson never fired a coach during the season and he was part of 2 NFC Championship Teams

SELL THE TEAM

We are tired of hurting David!!! Make the pain stop!!

More proud of what the reporters and the questions they asked as opposed to the Offensive play this year.

We don’t care about the events we don’t care about soccer we are a football team

Joe Person always coming with the HEAT. Great question lol

This guy has some kid touching vibes

Why does Scott Fitterer have a job still? Every day that isn’t address terrifies me. He doesn’t know how to put a competitive team together. You don’t go into the season with zero short yardage backs and 1 WR that can stretch the field. Especially when that WR is injury prone.

Without Dan Snyder, Tepper is far and away the leagues worst owner. What coach is going to want to coach the Panthers after Tepper fired 3 head coaches of his soccer team and fired a respected NFL coach 11 games into a season, the second fastest firing in NFL history. He interfered with the coaching staffs desire to draft Stroud and look at the results of that decision. And the draft capital has all been given away to get maybe the 4th best QB in the class with pick #1. What coach would want to walk into this situation? It's going to take a 100% guaranteed salary of at least $10 million per year to get anyone decent to even consider interviewing for a job. Meddling owners never result in a successful franchise.

We need wilks back man. The players respected him and played hard for him. He took the broken pieces left by rhule and made something special out of it. I hadn’t seen that much passion in this team since Rivera was here.

Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in last month 2024. The price is perfect.

Damn how does Scott keep getting away?! He got incriminating pictures of people or something?!

He essentially said he takes full responsibility for all this bullshit at the end if y’all made it that far. I think that’s as close as we are gonna get to him admitting he’s meddling in football affairs too much😂

Im confident in Bryce. Im just afraid he'll have to be good on another team. Cus our management is killing us. CJ couldnt save our offense.

We are all screwed and will never see a winning team as long as he has control over this organization.

Tepper selling the team would make an immediate impact on this team for the better. Just an idea.

9:05 Tepper, what are you talking about? We are talking about the panthers, the team you are burning to the ground? But good, you brought soccer to charlotte. That’s good for you. Oh 42 events in the last year? Wow that’s great. Good for you! Wow this really was the worst press conference with him.

Why did y'all not let Fowler ask his question? Pathetic

Absolutely embarrassing press conference from the most embarrassing owner in all of professional sports. Refused to answer questions about his role in the organizational failure and said "now isn't the time to get into that". How is your press conference not the time to answer these questions.

The best part of this is the questions. Kudos to the media for pointing out the facts of the bs that's happened since Tepper has been here.

still waiting for Scott Fowler's question...

Sell the damn team.

Didnt even mention Bryce being his wifes pick at qb

Someone should have followed up and asked him why is he so cheap? Have you seen the Panthers injury list since he installed turf for grass so he could hold all these FANTASTIC events that I and the majority of Panthers fans couldn't give a crap about

Why Scott fittier ain’t been fired yet. Gave everything we had away 🤦🏾‍♂️

Y'all better detach you emotions from this organization. Because as long as he is at the helm medling its gonna be a LOOOONNNNNGGGG ride on disappointment highway.

This is what happens when you have a soccer fan as a NFL team owner

i think it’s fucked up how they wouldn’t let him choose the qb he wanted and traded away key offensive pieces just to fire him after a mediocre record

Panthers are screwed, Tepper is without a doubt the worst owner in the league. The even worse part is panther fans are going to turn on him and try to force him to sell the team but being the petty guy he is he'll end up moving it instead

Our owner panicked. Traded everyone. Traded our probably number 1 overall pick…. Fires the coach. Ok dude

So, Panthers owner David Tepper emphatically stated that the decision to draft Bryce Young over CJ Stroud was “unanimous”, i.e. his scouts, GM and Frank Reich were all onboard with the choice. Several news outlet said Reich wanted the taller Stroud but was overruled. Whom do you believe?!

Lmao tepper at the start talking about them like they got slain in battle

When you go through as many coaches and qbs as you have as an organization, maybe you should realize that the problem is you Dave.

I want a owner change.

Man he was so flustered at that last question....just say it dude, everyone eanted CJ and me and Nicole wanted Bryce

Not gonna speculate on the fact he omitted Coach Wilks

At least his tie is on straight!

David Tepper…… YOU GOTTA GO. And all the people you brought witcha

He didn’t answer any of the questions as far as I’m concerned this whole thing was a waste of time

I'm a Commanders fan. This guy is the new Daniel Snyder. Good luck Panthers fans.

Every fan down there should boycott going to games and tell that owner to sell team

Why were there no questions about Scott Fitterer? He has been a terrible hire and devalued the Panthers roster monumentally. Tepper has made every Panthers fan question their loyalty to the organization, over half the seats at the Bank are filled with the visiting team’s fan base! It’s insane to think a quality head coach would want to work for a man like David Tepper after he’s shown his true colors of being overly involved and cut throat. This is a new low for being a Panthers fan.

Running the franchise into the ground

The dude can't own up to his mistakes.. if he continues to keep working like this, no one is gonna want to work here.

These questions are ON POINT big time!! Great job reporters excellent

So basically he said....it's obvious we are a trash fire and that he (Tepper) is not willing to change his ways and whoever the next coach is will have to accept dealing with him

Thanks for bringing music to Charlotte. I had never heard it until Master Tepper bought it to us.

Wilks was the coach for this team.. Nearly took them to the playoffs after taking over halfway through the season with a 2nd string QB and a trade away of a HOF running back. Maybe they will go back for him…

Patience long as things are going well. Got it.

My guy need to be a politician

“I have great respect for Frank” *proceeds to pronounce his last name incorrectly*

Panther fan for life here.. this definitely is a terrible year for us. Quick question, just because I don't know, what if the team was to sell, what happens then? Also, how can you just move an NFL team? I would be devastated if the Carolina Panthers left Charlotte. Dont know how we will finish this year either and what lies ahead but KEEP POUNDING PANTHERS 🖤💙🖤💙

THIS DUDE GOT RID OF CHRISTIAN MCAFFREY, WHO DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE, AND LOOK AT WHAT HE'S DOING WHERE HE IS NOW

David Tepper is the reason why ALL sports franchises should be like the Green Bay Packers, where there's NO owner.

May as well stayed in his office. Football fans dont give a rats ass about how many "events" are held. But since he brought it up, he should have addressed how many injuries that concrete field is causing.

I heard he fired Reicht because he didnt want to make the Offense around Bryce Young's skill set and that's why the young QB is struggling, now if thats the case I agree with the firing because you have to build the Offense around your Franchise QB so he can succeed

Thank GOD Charlotte Has 50 Events A Year Our NFL Franchise Thanks So Much 🙌🏽 "TEPPER ENTERTAINMENT" The Players Hamstrings and Achilles Love The FEILD TURF 🤘🏽😭🤘🏽 wtf are we doing here⁉️

In the words of Mr tepper “it is what it is” what a hell of a owner🙄

Tapper needed to get out on the hot seat lol

Panthers haven't been a winning team since 2017-2018. Ever since Tepper took over as Owner they been in a shit hole.

If you want the same coach for 20 or 30 years, don’t hire 70 year old coaches….

Did dude really say he brought concerts and soccer here ???? NO ONE CARES!!! Put a winning football team on the field. Tepper really said I'm making money so I'm good.

Not proud to have him as the owner of my favorite team

Franchise in a terrible spot. #KeepPounding I hope

As a Commanders fan, I hope Tepper doesn't become the next Snyder. Panthers fans have been through enough. I hope he pulls a Jed York, hires the right people and steps back. But if he does continue over-meddling, speaking from experience, there is hope that owners can be kicked out of the league. Let's just hope you all don't have to endure more suffering to get to the point where he'd have to be thrown out.

This dude ain't about football he's about the bag

HAD HE HIRED STEVE WILKS, HE WOULD HAVE HAD SOMEONE FOR 20 YEARS. WE ALL KNOW THE REAL REASON TEPPER DIDNT HIRE HIM, HE DIDNT EVEN GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

sell the team

Just the fact that an owner? Is having this press conference says everything. He considers himself the owner, GM, scout, coaching staff. Ridiculous. He isn’t letting people do their jobs. Micromanagement at an extraordinary level

Things might not be ideal currently, but I still think we can rebound overall. Plenty of teams have had worse stretches. Gotta have hope

He said “ football is an interesting sport and a lot can happen in 2 or 3 years”. The only thing that has happened is his teams get worse and now they are the worst. The truth is nothing has happened since 2015.

at 4:40 bruh told the joke and not one person laughed 🤣

Why u do the pressconference??

Worst owner in the NFL. This fan base and area deserve better. Sell the team please

Yes more concerts!!! Just what football fans want!! I'm trying to be so optimistic but it's so hard. As a lifelong panthers fan this is literally the worst football I've ever seen. I think that passion the players had at the end of last season was just smashed when they moved on from Wilkes. I'm not saying he would've been great but at least the players played hard for him. Praying for better days ahead Keep Pounding!!

I cant wait to go see the Panthers lose at Event Stadium. So many events and happenings, and, yeah, the Panthers play there too sometimes, but Boy, do we have events!

David Tepper talked about bringing sustained success to the Panthers yet he's brought nothing but failure

2nd question was bold but he needed to hear that 😂

What an opening statement

This man is an embarrassment and proof that you shouldn’t just sell a team to the highest bidder. He is unlikeable, has no relation to Carolina and our history, he disgustingly handled our greatest qb Cam, I can’t stand him. I want him to be forced to sell

Panthers haven't been the best team since Tepper took over as owner.

He was asked about why there was so much turnover for both teams he owns and he turned it into an answer about business lol

Dave Tepper is bad but his wife is worse. It's been reported that she was actively involved in the head coaching search (without undergoing league mandated training) and heavily favored Reich to coach the team. She deserves just as much of the fans' anger as this doofus.

I agree, great questions decent answers 😢
