Jerry Richardson

I have heard a lot of you blaming the Panthers problems on JR.  

 

So a serious question.  What can JR do to make the Panthers a better organisation ie - win more games - become what the Steelers used to be ?  And please don't give me the usual lame brained answers like removing the NFL shield from the middle of the field.

All starts at the top.  He has to hire the right people to run the organization.  That's his job.  I don't think he's responsible for this current team yet...but very close.

Sell the team to a competent owner. I think it's no coincidence that the team's failures really started in earnest as soon as he had his major surgery.

 

Any way you look at it, Jerry Richardson has failed as an owner. He's been the one constant since 1995. No back-to-back winning seasons in 20 years? No playoff wins at all in 10 years? The NFL has passed him by. He still thinks it's the era of Johnny Unitas.

Step down.

He needs to realize the NFL is past the Steelers dynasty. He needs to realize the league isn't more important that the Panthers. If he can't realize these things, he doesn't need to be in direct control of the team.

Well he can start by communicating with Gettleman and reinvestigating our coaching situation.  Secondly he could get off Goodell and the NFL's dick and stick up for his own team instead of the league.  This includes trivial things like the shield to more impactful things like the lockout stubbornness to standing up for players.

We have had only 5 winning seasons to 14 losing seasons. Are you f*cking kidding me? That starts at the top. He wants his GM to always hire a defensive minded coach even if he isn't qualififed. The NFL has past him by and leaving his ass behind.

We don't need a new owner, we need better fans that have a little respect and basic loyalty to the man that moved mountains to bring a franchise to Charlotte. If it wasn't for Richardson, we'd still be watching Redskins games every Sunday complaining about Dan Snyder.

He is way too slow on making the appropriate changes, and when he makes changes he doesn't get the best guys. Just somebody who isn't going to make waves and demand a lot of money. He doesn't seem to be as concerned about winning as he is being a nice family organization.

I definitely agree on the defensive minded coaches that we always hire and have no successful track record as an NFL head coach.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
