Very likely someone from the Steelers front office. 

Brandon Hunt is a hot name, but word is the Steelers have him in mind for Kevin Colbert's heir apparent.

Omar Khan's gotten buzz before but he's a cap guy, not a personnel guy.

The one thing I'd say, I know Tepper loves the Steelers but Matt Rhule doesn't have any connections over there that I know of, so if Rhule has as much say in the choice as some suspect he does, then I could see it being someone else.

A quote from Tepper today (via Panthers.com)

Quote

The Panthers owner spoke of building a "collaborative" and data-driven football operation, one that involves more analytics and computerized scouting, but not one that ignores his admitted fondness for "old school" football.

Tepper's not just looking for a new GM. He's looking for a way to build an entire football operation for years to come, to be something the Panthers have not been. In 26 years, they're 199-214-1, and Tepper's trying to steer them beyond the middle of the road.

"I'm trying to figure out what should be the right structure for an organization today," he said. "Just because there's been the same structure in the NFL forever in a lot of places doesn't mean it should be the same structure now."

Wanting somebody to rebuild the operation top to bottom?

Do we know of anybody who has experience doing that sort of thing?

Good Read; "Ten Mistakes That Contributed To Marty Hurney's Firing".

 

That was terrible. Half of those where ok calls.

 

Samuel is redundant. once CMC comes back he will be the full time RB and you can always split him out wide. He already does a lot of what Samuel is good at so no you don't need him.

 

I'm ok with giving Shaq that money because we would have poo else without him. Is he an above avergae LB? No but you can do a lot worse.

 

It was already reported that Bradbury didn't want to be here so why try to sign someone that don't want to be here?

 

Grier had about a 3-4 round grade on him. The fact that he didn't work out that happens in the draft (Galden was over drafted however)

 

Bridgewater isn't even making that much.  He's only making like 20 mil a year. Most good QB are making 30+. We can cut bait after 2021 which to me is fine. Give him one year to start, if it didn't work out draft a QB, let him sit behind Bridgewater, replace Bridgewater with him, cut Bridgewater in 2021. 

 

Cam was battered by the time we released him. Looking at it now it was the right choice. Owner changed, coach change. Most QBs don't survive that.

 

Anything I didn't cover I agree with.

Have actually been thinking about this for a while. There's going to be a long list of candidates available among top personnel guys in the NFL, but the names that come to my mind first are Jeff Ireland, Pat Stewart, Brandon Hunt and possibly Kevin Colbert.

Ireland and Stewart are the guys with the closest Matt Rhule connections that I know of.

If Tepper wants compatibility then Ireland and Stewart should be at the top early in the search.

I got Tepper.

He's put forth his bankroll and is living the ultimate dream of many --- playing real-life fantasy football.

Tepper will always retain unilateral decision making power and if the layer below him (Rhule + ? + ?) cannot make a collective decision/recommendation, Tepper will exercise his GM powers to make the call...he said as much today.

Good times a coming!
