When long-time head coach Ron Rivera was fired, new Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper announced he would be putting his stamp on the football side of the organization. Tepper said the team would be hiring new positions on the scouting side while general manager Marty Hurney would help lead the head coaching search. That search ended with Matt Rhule being named the head coach and receiving a staggering 7-year contract. While Tepper has wanted to keep Hurney with Carolina, there has been speculation Hurney might leave to be the Washington Redskins general manger to be reunited with Rivera. If that were to happen, sources say there are three young executives who are on the Panthers' radar as potential general managers: 49ers vice president of player personnel Adam Peters, Titans vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden and Buffalo Bills director of player personnel Dan Morgan. 

 

Morgan was a Pro Bowl linebacker for the Panthers and was a valuable member of the Seahawks' scouting staff under general manager Jon Schneider before Buffalo hired him a few years ago. Cowden was the assistant director of college scouting for the Panthers before taking the position with Tennessee in 2016. He had worked for Carolina since 2000, climbing the ladder within the organization. Peters has been with the 49ers for the past three seasons after working eight years with the Broncos, topping out as the director of college scouting with Denver. 


League sources say Tepper does not want to lose Hurney, who has a superb track record in the draft and a proven eye for finding talent. However, Tepper and Rhule want to lead Carolina into a new direction as well, so many believe the Panthers will want some young blood under Hurney to help lead the front office going forward. It will be very interesting to see how the front office positions are filled after the 2020 NFL Draft.
