00:02 >> Our second coach of the season to get chopped.

00:07 And I was a little surprised.

00:09 I know Glazer on Fox, not this Sunday, the past Sunday said that the seat was hot for

00:14 Frank Reich in his first year.

00:16 But man, Joe, 11 games, I get it, one in ten.

00:21 But if you listen to the stories of the guys who have covered the Panthers for

00:23 a long time down there, Reich wanted Stroud.

00:27 And Tepper told him, no, you're taking Bryce Young.

00:30 And they even got rid of the McCown, Stanley, the offensive,

00:35 all the quarterbacks guys.

00:36 It was like, get rid of all the guys who wanted CJ Stroud, Joe,

00:39 just clean them all out.

00:40 >> Yeah, all of a sudden now,

00:44 the Panthers have become the Browns of decades ago.

00:48 Where they just can't seem to get it right.

00:50 And it usually begins at the top, and they have a serious David Tepper problem.

00:56 It's not Frank Reich, it's not Bryce Young.

00:59 It is an owner who has made billions of dollars in hedge funds

01:05 that thinks somehow that translates to running a successful NFL franchise.

01:11 And we are now talking about, since his ownership,

01:15 this will be the seventh head coach since 2018 that he will have hired.

01:22 Every one of them, whether he inherited the coach or

01:25 hired it himself, has been fired at some point during this season.

01:30 You and I both know, you follow this game long enough, continuity wins.

01:36 Firing coaches every other year in the middle of the season,

01:42 and especially since the kicker here is, you're gonna pay them anyway.

01:46 And you can't talk to anybody that's on another team until mid-January in

01:50 the divisionals.

01:51 So what is going on here is a total dysfunctional franchise that begins

01:57 at the top.

01:58 And I'm telling you, Frank Reich, better off not having to report and

02:02 work for David Tepper today.
