That would be my first task as owner.

There has been a lot of discussion about who could be the next owner(s) of the Panthers and who fans would like to be the new owner(s). Let's switch it up a bit. If YOU could be the new owner of the Panthers, what type of owner would you be? What changes, if any, would you make?

 

PSA: I KNOW WHAT THE WORD "CONFIDE" MEANS. I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO CONFIDE IN ME PUBLICLY! 

Day 1 I would demolish the Jerry statue myself and strip his name/image from everywhere in the stadium.

Next I would fire Marty Hurney and start the process of hiring a new president and GM. When that is finished I would give them full autonomy when it came to the coaching staff. If they wanted to fire Ron and bring in their own guy, then they have my blessing. 

Next I would take that silly NFL shield off midfield and replace it with the Panthers logo. 

I would retire Steve Smith's number and have a statue built in his honor. I would start a Carolina Panthers HOF, because for some odd reason this god awful owner inexplicably refuses to acknowledge this team's history. I would do an inaugural 5 person class with Sam Mills, Steve Smith, Jake Delhomme, Jordan Gross, and Mike McCormick being inducted (this would be separate from retired numbers and statues). I would not put a single thing of Jerry Richardson in said HOF.

I would also put something inside the stadium acknowledging our 6 Division titles and 2 NFC Championships. There should be banners or something around the stadium acknowledging the years 1996, 2003, 2008, 2014, 2015, 2016.

I would stay out of all personnel decisions and allow my quarterback to get tattoos and piercings. I would let my female employees come in with hairy legs and unkept nails. If I wanted my feet rubbed, I would go to a professional and pay for it outside of work hours. I would never use the term "let me see that wiggle". I would allow all employees to refer to me by my first name because I'm not some narcissistic weirdo. I wouldn't have a slave owner name such as just "Mister". I would also guarantee immediately that the franchise would never ever be moving out of Charlotte under my watch. Something Mister Gropey refused to do. I also would smile when the Panthers scored instead of looking like a miserable curmudgeon who just got turned down by two female employees after askibg to shave their legs in the owners box.

seriously, self-control is essential. self-control in the way they handle themselves personally and professionally and in the way they delegate control to those managing the team. hire a guy you believe can do the job. set expectations, and then let him do his job. only step in if you 1) turn into a perennial loser (or at the very least stop trending upward) and B) get into cap hell.

allow for a more exciting game day experience for the panther fans...more hype...panther logo midfield....find incentives for ticket holders/psl owners to either use their tickets or sell them to panther fans.

and keep your politics out of the game. focus on it being a fun event rather than some statement you want to make. i think that goes with everyone involved, though. let the game bring a moment of much needed unity amongst a very divided people.

I agree with all your points, but as far as the "keep your politics out of the game," that would never happen because politics has always been a part of sports. I don't see that changing.

Head Coach Google Jim Bob Cooter

I'd hire the right guys who live and breathe what they're doing.  Coaches, talent scouts, front office guys.  Then I'd step aside and let them do their jobs with minimal input.  I'd certainly make myself available to anyone if they need to talk but for the most part I'd keep a low profile and allow the geniuses to work.

Copy Robert Kraft.

[Montsta]

I would hire a bunch of people that are good at their jobs and let them do it by staying out of it. My only requirements would be retiring 58 and 90 when they hang em up, and get TD a statue in place of the JR statue. 

Oh, and make sure that the next WR we draft or trade for wears #89, but only if they are kind of a scrub, because I want it to be a number that is worn by a new player every year or two, then I’d sit back and watch the always level headed and sensible Steve Smith meltdown over it on Good Morning Football.

His head would explode if that happened!

He acts like he doesn’t care, but the meltdown would be epic. When Pep left we had guys wearing 90 pretty much right away, and some scrubs at that. 89 hasn’t been put on I don’t think since Smitty got cut. fug all that poo. Let Chosen wear it on the sideline to catch some passes from Dad pre-game. I don’t know I’m sure someone more creative than myself can get involved and figure out how to integrate it regularly.

Uhhhh we've already been doing that under the ownership of massa Jerry Richardson. When almost every other team in the league took the opportunity to protest after being called sons of bitches for literally peacefully protesting we folded like a lawn chair.

Yeah, I hated when they got scared and didn't do anything.
