nah, nah. Derek Brown gotta be the Hound. Moutain was a piece of poo. The Hound basically became the best character on the show at least.

the new head coach will be Jon Snow. Especially if a young OC. in the end, Jon Snow was basically banished and screwed over.

please, feel free to lecture me some more on what great friends Reich and Caldwell are.....and how you factually you know Frank wasn't forced into doing things by Tepper when he took the job lol.

I made the mistake of going to a game last year. instant regret. we left early. I will no longer do it. Not helping this clown fill his seats until he becomes a silent and uninvolved owner.

yeah, the Game of Thrones reporting with everyone stabbing folks in the back....and then Caldwell/Morgan left standing with their best friends taking the big hit under the bus really screams best friends for life lol. Rich folks in the same field, landing in a new town, and ending up in the same neighborhoods....also isn't some cold hard fact they are blood brothers. They scouted folks together? Sounds like that was....there literal jobs. I don't know what they are. I don't care. I know the NFL is a nasty business. I know colleagues being friendly with each other doesn't actually mean anything in the grand scheme. Because part of that, is just doing the job. It certainly sounds like an overly pimped narrative that people made and ran with as they tried to convince themselves that Tepper had it "figured out" going into last season. The dream staff bologna they sold hard. Jim Caldwell IMO is giant red flag to this narrative you pimped. Hindsight is now showing that it is an easy educated guess.....Caldwell likely was someone feeding Tepper stuff and going behind Frank's back and one of the Game of Thrones players. Which is why he is now employed to continue to consult and advise for Tepper.

Tepper Nicole We are proud to announce that Sportsology has concluded that we already had the ideal candidate for the job right here at Casterly Rock

Sir Purr. That's about it. new HC should be able to hire his own staff. Build a culture and environment. A new HC shouldn't be given a staff from a prior failed era for the billionaire owner to save a couple bucks. we just heard about the GOT nature of this org during this last era. In no way should a new HC be saddled with a bunch of dudes he doesn't want from it. That going to keep smart HC away. clean slate. We already aren't doing it with Morgan and that section.

yep. that's why the hiring team was Dave/Nicole/Jim lol Caldwell.....and Sportsology. when it's time for the consensus meeting.....well, the consensus is rigged from the jump.

99% of NFL players make their decisions based on $.

I love how some claimed Caldwell and Frank were BFFs and Morgan and Fitterer were BFFs. Then the Game of Thrones reporting came out. Now you got Caldwell helping Morgan get hired out of the rubble. It has stunk in Carolina for some time. We needed a clean slate. Looks to me it's just more of the same. at least trainwrecks are entertaining. That's all we got.

I mean, Jim Caldwell/Dave/Nicole being 3/4 of the hiring team is a red flag in itself. First internal question I would have is how the fug is Jim Caldwell still here and why is he involved in this. I mean, if you have followed the Panthers and what has been reported......I would pull my name out and stay where I was at another cycle. And they are dicing the GM job up. Not that it is an issue in the big picture but it is red flag for Carolina to do it if you are a new hire.

Going to brace myself for Dan Morgan's first move.....to insist Brian Burns is the key to the Panthers future and help pave the way for him to be massively overpaid.

Jim Caldwell probably recommended Dan Morgan. He was on the search team lol. No way this is the formula to fix the Panthers. It's the leftovers from the mess. look like other NFL teams aren't the only ones ripping off Tepper. The search firm got a check for Dave just to do whatever he wanted.

basically the repeated pattern. Tepper just liking guys. Maybe Dan Morgan got behind the counter at the pizza joint and Tepper appreciated that being a former short order cook. I mean, there frankly is no reason given how bad this front office was for Morgan to get a promotion right now. The only argument would be if Dan went around yelling about how everyone was wrong and stupid the last several years. But he would have been weeded out per reports a long time ago if he wasn't part of this nightmare consensus team.

Matt Moore would go on to finish out that season strong with a 4-1 record

I still can’t get over the worst team in the NFL….promoting from within to “fix” the gigantic mess.

The 2001 team won 1 game. Hurney was actually really good early on. Drafted well and did FA well.

He was significantly better than Fitterer. That’s my only point. He had strengths. He had highlights to offset bad he did. The Fitterer era Panthers were a unique poo show in terms of talent and mismanagement of resources…..and also of lack of understanding the matching of talent/scheme. Hurney at least added players that made sense and fit what his coach wanted to do and hit some grand slams.

Marty Hurney wasn’t actually bad. He was decent. Fitterer was bad.

Dan Morgan is part of the brain trust that brought us the 2023 Carolina Panthers. The saddest roster in Panther history. Seems like we are content to Keep Sucking.

So, play outdated football from a different era like Wilks did with them to mask their issues? I mean, the big picture direction of a football team shouldn’t be focused on masking what an OL can’t do. We should get an OL that can pass protect. The league literally is slanted for teams to pass. The NFL is basically about finding a QB and going through him.

Caldwell survived the Panther Game of Thrones. Got to think he made Tepper happy to still be catching paychecks and new gigs. Tepper probably just buying a voice to echo him and his wife in the group discussion

I don’t get this Tepper narrative. Tepper has no problem scrapping a plan and going in a new direction. He has a thousand faults as an owner. That doesn’t seem to be one. His Panther history, FC history and just generally business from RH to Eastland to whatever. Tepper changes and moves on as quick as anyone in the NFL

Big dislike. same logic of why I wanted Fitterer fired with Rhule. Dan Morgan has been part of horrific player management the last several years. In an organization where it was reported Tepper had been weeding out non yes men types. And there he remained. I don’t care to imagine who owned what % of the all the many many bad player decisions we made….there have been too many for the “answer” to of been on the roster logic. loved the player. And he might be great. But the looking for the answer inside the mess we have been is a tough sell.

A guy is literally given a job/task….go out the and claim Bryce Young actually is more promising than CJ Stroud. He then does it. The entire ESPN model and elsewhere is just to stir drama and say things that generate views at this stage. What is said on those shows should never be mistaken as what the masses think Skip Bayless IMO really figured it out the best and it’s all been a rocketship downhill ever since
