The Carolina Panthers aren't in the best light.
Team owner David Tepper fired head coach Frank Reich on Monday just 11 games into his first season with the franchise.
Although the move was understandable given the Panthers hold the worst record in the league (1-10), Tepper has received criticism for his lack of patience in firing several head coaches since purchasing the team in 2018.
During his radio show, Chris Russo called the owner a complete embarrassment.
"How does this David Tepper, who from all reports, wanted Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud which put the pressure on the general manager and head coach to go in that direction. This idiot fires Reich after 11 games in his first year because they're 1-10 when he's got no offensive line, gave up the mortgage to get Young. That's not the right thing to do.
"Tepper, one of these loud mouth guys who made a fortune doing something else, became an NFL owner. Now he thinks he knows everything about the league and he's made these decisions. Again, I wouldn't have hired Reich to begin with, that is the direction he went.
"Who is going to take that job knowing he's gonna be fired if it gets bad. I wouldn't take it."
Do you agree with Russo?
