New Panthers owner David Tepper comes from an organization that has had three head coaches in 49 years, and he won’t begin his Panthers tenure with any sweeping changes on the football side of the organization.
Tepper, who bought a five percent stake in his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009, might have tempered his praise of Panthers coach Ron Rivera and the front office during his press conference Tuesday — but only slightly.
“You actually have – you don’t want to give people too many compliments — but you’re actually blessed with a pretty good football side here,” Tepper said at Bank of America Stadium.
