Dan Morgan should be seriously considered for GM
Mr. Scot replied to NAS's topic in Carolina Panthers
Not sure I can sign on to this... If we're staying in-house, I'd probably prefer Adrian Wilson. But what I'd prefer most at this point is that we not stay in-house -

Breaking, Ian Rapoport: Fitterer Fired
Mr. Scot replied to NJPanthers12's topic in Carolina Panthers
Brown was reported to have been a Tepper pick, and ultimately a poor one. He wasn't ready to be an OC. His play designs were bad, his playcalling off, and there's speculation he was one of the people complaining behind Reich's back. And that's not even mentioning his wife's social media stunt. If there's an MVP for this season's coaching dysfunction, it's probably Brown. -
Marty's greatest skill has always been the ability to save his own ass.

is there a worse destination than Carolina for a GM or HC?
Mr. Scot replied to rayzor's topic in Carolina Panthers
From Mike Sando in The Athletic: What will Carolina do? That one could be most interesting of all, given owner Tepper’s experience with Ron Rivera, Perry Fewell, Matt Rhule, Steve Wilks, Frank Reich and Chris Tabor in his six seasons of ownership. Tepper, who made his billions in hedge funds, trades coaches like cryptocurrency. “We should probably predict who his next interim head coach is going to be,” a veteran exec joked. Sando's Pick Six Safe to say Tepper's reputation precedes him -
Breaking, Ian Rapoport: Fitterer Fired
Mr. Scot replied to NJPanthers12's topic in Carolina Panthers
Sort of... Teams don't generally fire assistants until they have a new head coach. New guy can then decide whether or not to keep them. Given the toxic atmosphere surrounding this last staff though, I wouldn't be surprised if they're all gone. -
Rivera and Smith are gone. More to come:

There's an argument to be made that the Thomas Brown hire is what doomed Frank Reich. -

Not just Tepper, it turns out: numerous picks and acquisitions were noted to be at the behest of coaches. - Matt Corral, Ban McAdoo - DJ Johnson, Ejiro Evero - Robbie Anderson (and others), Matt Rhule Our old friend Dr Flunky (or something) used to talk about collaboration being "The Appaloosa Way" (i.e. The Horsesh-t Method). Turns out that may have been what originally got him hired. (and ultimately got him fired) -

More from Person: He shares an agent with former coach Matt Rhule, who had control of the 53-man roster during Fitterer’s first two years with the Panthers. So it was tough to know exactly who was responsible for some of the personnel decisions, although Rhule’s influence was obvious in some cases, like with all of his former Temple and Baylor players. And while Fitterer’s ability to build bridges makes him well-liked in league circles and helped him establish a positive work environment with the Panthers’ scouts and personnel executives, there were times when being more resolute would have benefited him. The decision to give wide receiver Robbie Anderson, a Temple guy and locker room cancer, a two-year, $29.5 million extension had Rhule’s hands all over it. When Anderson proved to be a one-year wonder as well as a malcontent, at least Fitterer was able to wrangle two late-round picks out of Arizona for him. -

That's actually a common theme this morning: Ultimately, a guy who was too collaborative (the same issue as Reich, ironically enough) paired with a head coach and an owner who were more than willing to take advantage. But he also stabbed Reich in the back, so... -

Per Schefter: Tepper has hired a search firm to help find HC
Mr. Scot replied to BlackPanther22's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yes, I can. Fitterer's background is in college scouting. Morgan's resumé is all in pro scouting. -

Mr. Scot replied to BlackPanther22's topic in Carolina Panthers
Newton has zero experience as a talent evaluator, football administrator or anything like that. The only people who think it'd be a good idea to hand him a role like that are fans and Newton himself. And I know people will say " yeah, but professionals failed at it". Sorry that doesn't mean Newton is any more qualified. -

That's another decision I don't want Tepper making. Hire the GM. Let them decide who stays and who goes. -

I'd agree. I just don't know how it's going to work out. -

Mr. Scot replied to BlackPanther22's topic in Carolina Panthers
Depends on the role. If it's unrelated to personnel, I don't really have a problem with that organizationally. Now that said, the fact that he was involved in undermining the previous coach is a big deal. With that in mind, it's better that he be gone entirely. If that's not going to happen though, then a non-personnel related role is the best option. (that's what a lot of us used to hope Jerry Richardson would do with Marty Hurney since he was so determined to keep him) -

Mr. Scot replied to BlackPanther22's topic in Carolina Panthers
Maybe, as long as he doesn't pick the wrong people again. He has access to one of the best football minds in the league. Why not just use him instead of going to a search firm? -

They weren't. In fact, Tepper made a big deal of saying he didn't need anybody to help him with his hires.
