Shakeup within the organization: Mark and Jon Richardson resign

LA Panthers

what's that? 83% of tickets are sold before the start of every year, the ticket owners are basically locked in, the stadium is almost paid for, and there's no real competition within the state?

OH TEH NOES THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE THE TEAM!

Every Jaguars game this year is blacked out, and that's with tarps covering half the damn stadium. Which team do you think is going to move first?

This is all about the logo at mid field. Mark and Jon were two of the first to sign the petition...since Big Cat wouldn't do it, they resigned out of protest.

The Panthers aren't going anywhere.

Growing market, consistently selling out a 72K stadium.

Could be a lot of things, but one thing I do know is that Mark Richardson wasn't respected by a lot of people inside the organization.

I do wonder how much of a staff turnover will happen, how many policies will change, etc. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to see some upheaval.

why was mark not respected..

[L.A. Fanatic]

Jags will be out here soon

the fires are clearing a way for the new stadium

[polkcounty]

As a practical upshot, outside of Jerry Richardson there is now no one in the organization with more power than Marty Hurney (and by extension, John Fox).

Makes me wonder if they'll name Hurney "team president".

Lets hope not!!

why was mark not respected..

He wasn't respected because of the way he treated people and some of the decisions he's made in the past.

I've heard that there are several people in the ownership group who are against him running the show. This could be a precursor to some drama yet to come.

Ding, ding, ding.

Good riddance in my view.

Hopefully the Panthers will stop trying to be a Disney show.

I think I speak on behalf of everyone here in the Huddle and everyone else out there in Pantherland....Sir Purr goes, we go.

[SmootsDaddy89]

I don't know why, but I kind of want Richardson to just GIVE the team to Slash.

What would slash do with a football team?

[Fan4life]

Mark wanted Mike Vick ???????

[Panthro]

Maybe they wanted a different QB
