Dave Gettleman FIRED as Panthers GM

[Bronn]

 

 

LMAO!

[bobsfoodbasics]

ron and shula are still there and gettleman is gone.

worst move they could have made.

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

Olsen needs extension, Davis too

Cam will need to be paid higher after another likely MVP season

Trai, Norwell, Star, all need contracts

Gettleman was going to play hard ball getting all that done when it's not really that hard. You extend them all, and give all what they want because they are key to our success

Here's one way that it happens this way... when the owner steps in and overrules the GM running the team.  That's when a GM suddenly realizes he's no longer the GM.

And that's when the GM takes the whistle off from around his neck and hands it to the owner with his resignation.

I just hope that Gettleman decides to retire now instead of going to another team.  Would sure hate to see him be hired by one of the other NFC South teams.

Yup.  That's exactly how I would have handled it as well.

You own the team, and you hired me to run the team.  You want control...here it is.

I'll see myself out.

bruh

Olsen and TD we're about to be low balled and Richardson wasn't having it

Low balled for what? The end of their careers? When they both are asking for a few extra pennies?

Just like Norman he is a product of the scheme. 

Yeah, no he's not. Otherwise last year we wouldn't have dropped to almost the worst passing defense in the league. Our scheme would have compensated for losing him, but it didn't.

[Bozarden]

As if it's a problem that there's tension between the front office and locker room. When Hurney was in charge the players probably loved the entire front office due to the huge contracts he gave to mediocre, over the hill players. 

Gettleman had his faults like being overly focused on certain positions, but running a sports team like a business instead of a family was definitely NOT one of them... Speechless!

There's always been tension btwn front office and locker room b/c of unpopular moves Gettleman made. I'm told it's only increased of late.

Bingo.

Positive impact.

We were 17-2 with a Super Bowl berth less than 18 months ago and we've had a good-to-great offseason this year. Gettleman has a fantastic W-L record here. And he's gone just like that. I've been a fan since Day 1 of this team and this might be the most shocking decision I've ever seen Richardson/the team make.

Was he worth his money in Washington. 

He was most certainly a product of the scheme.

Bradberry was doing nearly as well in his ROOKIE year.

You're a complete and utter moron.
This just sunk the ship. How in your pathetic mind can find this as a positive is beyond me. Unless Gettleman was killing people off the field, there was absolutely no reason to fire him.

This makes it clear that we will not have all of Star, Trai, and Norwell in the future. Any moves that JR would have been upset by would have been in preparation to keep these key young pieces of our team.  I wonder if Shaq will say "peace" when he sees that we've given TD a 5 year extension.

While it remains to be seen whether this was strictly a business move, I have trouble believing that it is based on the timing. GM's aren't part of the cap. Results were positive. The whole thing stinks of something personal to me. 

When none of the players like you and you have a team go from playing in the super bowl to being trash, that's all on you as a gm. He failed miserably and employee relations
