Dave Tepper isn’t used to losing.
He’s a billionaire many times over due to extremely sharp investing. Before buying the Carolina Panthers, he was a minority owner of the six-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
But Tepper had a losing year in his rookie season as the Panthers owner, as his team lost seven of its last eight games to finish 7-9.
He didn’t like it, of course. I continue to be impressed, though, with the way Tepper has shown a fair amount of both transparency and patience as Carolina’s owner.
