 I do an afternoon show down here at Fox Sports Upstate.

Hoping to have Joe Person on tomorrow to dive into his latest article, and some thoughts on Carolina’s future. 

Sounds great!

Hey, please see if you can get Joe Person to name some names…

Cheers mate

Definitely not on any crusade to fire anybody, but not really digging the current trajectory.

Clearly you are on that exact “trajectory”…

…step up and own it pal

”…so to me, I think it’s time to cut the cord, do it sooner rather than later…Scott Fitterer is not without blame but he gets a chance to move forward…Dan Morgan is in a big spot, they have ties to Buffalo and Seattle, give them a chance to get their guy…”

That was you right?

Own it

Yes, I have made no secret that I believe the team should probably move in a different direction. Am I out actively promoting it? Do I take pleasure in seeing somebody lose their job? No. Hence, the comment I made about not being on a crusade. It’s not personal. There’s no agenda. It’s based on a two-year sample size of analysis in terms of roster building, messaging, strategic/game management elements, and most of all…trends. I don’t feel this operation is trending in a positive direction, and I feel it’s more than fair to incorporate that into my analysis. If I felt he was equipped to move forward and build a winning program, that would be my analysis. I respect those who disagree with this, because I could very well be wrong on all of it. He could surprise everyone. I think it’s pretty fair to say, as we sit here in early January into year two…it’s not looking great. Again, I appreciate your feedback.

Everything outlined above, I definitely “own” it.

By the way, I don’t think Scott is blameless. But generally speaking, the general manager is part of the coaching hiring process, usually at the front of the line. Dan is well respected from a lot of guys I respect around the league. If you don’t trust those people to make hiring decisions, don’t have a GM. Just let Matt have full control. I don’t know, maybe it will all work out. I’m not rooting against anybody. That’s the larger point I’m trying to get across.

And just so we’re clear, I was more optimistic about Matt last off-season, but I still had plenty of doubts. And I’m not blind to some positives that have been contributed here. On the whole, the results don’t give me a lot of reason for optimism, but I guess that’s just a matter of perspective and expectations. But no, I don’t personally loathe the man.

Cool

So, with that in the rear view mirror…

…what do you think will happen?

Matt gets to continue into next season?

Or is he is gonzo on Monday?

He did just drop a hundo to join a country club…would be a shame to have to rinse that down the drain so quickly

Yeah, I don’t get the sense that he’s getting fired on Monday. I think there will be some conditions, including some potential changes on the staff. Outside of that, it’s anybody’s guess. Anything could happen, I suppose. At this point, I think most signs seem to indicate he’ll probably return.

No. Remember he thinks he is the smartest guy in the room, despite having less of a clue about the NFL than the average Tinderbox regular.
