In the final minutes of the Carolina Panthers’ 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Panthers owner David Tepper threw a drink into the visitor stands. The incident occurred after the Panthers had failed to score a single point in the game, and Tepper was seen visibly frustrated with the team’s performance.
Tepper, who purchased the Panthers in 2018, has been an outspoken critic of the team’s lack of success in recent years. He has made it clear that he expects the team to perform better, and this incident is an indication of his frustration with the team’s current state.
The Panthers have struggled this season, currently sitting at 5-9 and out of playoff contention. They have lost seven of their last nine games, and have been outscored by a combined score of 166-97 in those games. This is a far cry from the team’s success in 2015, when they went 15-1 and reached the Super Bowl.
Tepper’s outburst is indicative of his frustration with the team’s current performance, and it is likely that he will be looking to make changes in the offseason in order to turn things around. He has already made some changes to the coaching staff, and it is likely that more changes are on the horizon.
It remains to be seen how Tepper will respond to this incident, but it is clear that he is not happy with the team’s current state. He will be looking for ways to improve the team in the offseason, and it is likely that he will be looking for a new head coach and other personnel changes.
Only time will tell if Tepper’s actions will have any effect on the team’s performance, but it is clear that he is not happy with their current state and is willing to take drastic measures to try and turn things around.
