With all the chatter about Bill Belichick potentially being fired - despite all he has done for the Patriots over the last 20+ years - what are some of the dumbest decisions owners have made in recent years?
Just about everything Tepper has done in Carolina.
Chargers firing Marty Schottenheimer after a 14-2 season in 2007. Since then we’ve had 4 head coaches, typically a 3-4 year tenure each, in which they probably deserved a 2-3 year tenure at best. And, we all know how much talent they’ve squandered in the last decade or two
Our owner. Pick a decision.
The panthers moving up last year in the draft and they end up worse this year 😂

Is firing bill a bad decision? He was great in the past (Because of Brady). But he’s been presenting a pretty terrible team. The last 20 years don’t matter anymore if you suck now.
Having a terrible roster, a 37y declining QB and taking a RB 2nd overall pick. I love Saquon, but the decision was atrocious.

Raiders have a laundry list of them, just in the past few years.
Hiring Gruden after 10 years out of coaching, with Mayock as a first time GM.
Hiring Josh McDaniels.
Trading a first and second round pick for Davante Adams when the roster had tons of holes that needed filled through drafts before a star WR would move the needle on contending.
Giving Ron Rivera total control over football operations.
Definitely not the worst for all teams, but for the giants it’s gotta be hiring Gettleman.
Jerry Jones letting Jimmy Johnson walk.
Urban Meyer not being #1 is wild to me.
Not hiring Andy Reid in 2013, instead hired Gus Bradley
Letting Bill Walsh leave Cincinnati. Dave Shula.
