...and the AP guy that covers the Panthers tweeted the following just before Gantt's tweet about Skipper:

DeAngelo Williams says he'd like to stay with #Panthers regardless of coaching staff because likes organization

So it's an odd contrast?

Jim Skipper is the main guy I hope will stay. I know he is Fox's guy, but hopefully the new staff will retain him (if he wants to stay here).

I think this just proves how much Gantt likes to troll.

Skipper is one coach I will say has done his job. You come to the panthers with a fumble problem he is going to fix that for ya.

Deshaun Foster would disagree.

I thought Skipper was here before Foxy ?

I like the guy, he is one of the few I would save.

not going to speculate on this. it can go too many ways and the way that goodson is playing, i don't know how much we'd be effected by williams leaving.

i would like for him to stay, but if he goes, i hope it's because we did a tag and trade or he got tagged with the 1st and 3rd tender (cause i'm not convinced he'll be able to be a UFA this year) and someone picks him up.

i can really see either green bay or miami trying hard to get him. miami would be the best spot other than here, imo.

I wouldn't mind keeping Skipper, he's done a good job. DWill and Stew are great (despite this year), and Sutton and Goodson are also really good. He's done a good job.

But they've already got a Williams wearing No. 34.

skipper worked with fox in ny from '97-'00 and then was the HC for the san fran XFL team and then came to carolina in '02 with fox.

I'm sure fans who own Ricky's jersey would appreciate it.
