Not if he's going behind the coach's back and undermining him. He'd probably do the same to the new GM. Scott needs to go.

This guy's take isn't that great. Any coach that comes to Carolina, is risking getting Reich'ed. If you're going to risk getting your reputation ruined, you need guaranteed retirement money.

eg. Ron Rivera every odd numbered year

If you're old enough to not know what a boombox is, I'm surprised you're able to use a computer, or still be on this side of the grass.

They probably were probably inserted by an artificial stupidity program.

Supposedly, when Tepper wanted Ron to switch to 3-4, Ron went along with it because 3-4 OLB edge rushers were easier to find than traditional 4-3 bookend DEs. Hence the drafting of Burns. Who knows how much of that is true. I was hoping to see Burns thrive this year. At this point it would probably be another step back if we switched back.

Sure. Why not. Hit me.

Fitterer should have been gone long before Reich.

Another win or two and Tabor might gain some Wilks/Chuck Norris-like mythological legend status.

According to Wilks’ fans, .500 coaching is legendary.

After 2 decades of Fox/Rivera ball, I'd rather rip the band aid off and at least get an offense that resembles something from this century. If that means moving on from O lineman that can't pass protect, so be it.

Yeah, typically. We all know our next puppet coach is going to choose "his" GM, at Tepper's urging.

Except for Burns. It doesn’t look like getting to a QB is his thing this season.

Yay. Let's go back to Fox/Rivera/Wilks ball and go .500. Back to back winning seasons isn't all it's cracked up to be. We might make the playoffs every third year or so if our division sucks enough. Hell, we might even make a deep play off run once every decade if our GM stumbles into a couple of world beating talents. It's the Panther way. I'll give the people pining for Wilks this; .500 is an improvement over the current situation. I want us to be better than that, though. (For the record, Reich's record in Indy was .547 for those of you in awe of Wilk's .500 tenure. Also, if you want to count Reich's record here, you also must count Wilk's record in Arizona.)

Our coaching staff he 100 years of experience and Bryce has the “it” factor. I don’t care what the record says. This is a winning season.

Imagine working for a guy like Jim Irsay, getting a fresh start at a new job and finding out your new boss is worse than the last. I think he cared but got exasperated and was too old and tired to do anything about it.

The roster is the biggest problem. That's on Fitt. Why Fitt hired a coach whose scheme didn't fit our personnel is baffling.

The article refers to her as "owner." lol

You left out "for a QB with historically bad measurables."

I've never developed much hatred toward the Bills. I guess I'll go with that. Maybe Cincy.

We gave up a lot to move up for a guy that can’t even take snaps under center. Lol

I see what you mean, but if the new GM is hired with the understanding that he can hire his own guys after the jury comes back on Frank and Bryce, I think they would agree to that. I think Frank's biggest problem is the roster Scott assembled, Bryce is suffering because of it as well, but he's got bigger problems. (no pun intended)

The new GM can evaluate Frank next season and hire his own guy after that. What we can't have is the lunacy of the HC choosing his new boss.

I'll be happy when a .500 Rivera clone isn't considered an upgrade.

Yeah, I've never understood where that narrative came from. He was also patient with Ron and Hurn-Dogg as well. Too much so, actually. Tepp's got a lot of flaws, but impatience isn't one of them,
