When he left he got butt hurt and has serious personal issues with the Panthers front office apparently and it has clouded his judgement ever since. It's a shame, because he use to be a great Panthers beat writer.

yea, i mean okay, but in the world of journalism, being the best panthers beat writer is like being the math wiz in 3rd grade remedial arithmetic

"wow, Darin understands 1/4th of the times table. how does he do it?" said Joe Person, before eating spilled paste off the desk and accidentally swiping his spacemaker off of it, emptying 3 lbs of pencils and pens everywhere on the floor

Gantt does seem to have his panties in a wad over some of these guys' firings, and that is probably the real reason he wrote his little op-ed piece. It will be interesting to see what he'll have to say if the team actually succeeds next year, and/or if more seasoned and experienced coaches are hired. Knowing Gantt like we all do, I bet he says nothing. Even if he does write something positive, be rest assured it will not be written with the gusto and enjoyment that undertones this little gem (which really says nothing substantive IMO).

Darin has always been very sarcastic. That's just his style, and it rubs some the wrong way. But I would ask those of you that think he is "just butthurt" to go into the article and find the parts that are false for further discussion here. Maybe some of you are being unduly influenced by not liking his style.

The poster that bolded the part of the article hit the nail on the head. Gantt saying Rivera stood by while Hurney got fired is butthurtedness to a t. What other reason would he include that tidbit? I was at my job for two years and my boss was cut. I didn't say, wait but she hired me so fire me too! That's just ridiculous IMO.

I agree about that comment; it was petty, but that alone isn't a reason to disqualify the rest of the article.

not saying darin isn't butthurt but i mean... it seems rivera probably had a pretty large hand in personnel moves with marty around. i mean, we didn't pick up a ton of former chargers by accident.

The anecdotal evidence of just how screwed up this organization is continues to pile up...

Fire the RB coach because the OC and HC won't use Stewart and Williams the way they should.

Fire the WR coach because the OC and HC refuse to play Gettis while Smith inches closer to the Hall of Fame and LaFell continues to improve as a viable #2 WR.

Fire the LB coach because Kuechly and Company played as well as any LB corps in the league this season.

The morons abound...

absolutely correct. he's always been like that. he's not a panther fan (doesn't mean he's a hater) so his takes on things, while well sourced, hasn't been obscured by homervision. he's often a prick about it, but he's been one of the more objective guys out there.

I agree wholeheartedly, however, you would have been ridiculed 5-6 years ago for saying this.

...sometimes the truth hurts. we might of had a chance for turning things around if hurney was at the bus stop at the same time fox was, all new leadership. We're fkdated by the cap and the order process for finding a GM is laughable. This is a recipe for Riv to surely fail next year because we really will have the same problems. Riv will get hacked next year after the season, new GM will higher his guy...we are hosed for another 3 years minimum...i'm praying for a miracle...

Meanwhile our stadium will continue to get owned by opposing fans.

Exactly.

I read the article on Cowher today and wanted to just cry.

The people on here who wanted the college coach du jour just astound me.

Of course few of those are coughing up money each year for seats either.

No disrespect to anyone meant with that comment...its just when a person invests that kinda of money when money is a tight commodity, I need something more than 'but he shows other coaches how to run their offense'.

Cowher would be smart enough, and his reptuation good enough, that his staff would be quite special.

      Possibly so but that doesn't really change what I said.

      Rough Depth Chart (with position analyses)

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Mike Kaye: Here are the Panthers’ biggest remaining needs as the team enters free agency: Safety: The Panthers have just two players at the position entering the middle of the week: Moehrig and second-year DB Demani Richardson. While Moehrig, based on his contract, is the crown jewel of the Panthers’ free-agent haul, Richardson is still a bit of a mystery. At best, the Panthers need at least three more players at safety, with at least one of them being good enough to compete with Richardson for a starting job. It’s pretty likely the Panthers add another external free agent at the position before the NFL Draft. Outside linebacker: The Panthers brought in Jones to raise the oor of the depth chart on the edge. Jones, D.J. Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney are currently the Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (19) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the rst quarter at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fl. on Sunday Dec 29, 2024 Nathan Ray Seebeck Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images top three players on the depth chart. From there, the unit has D.J. Johnson and not much else. And one could argue that Johnson will need to have a very strong summer to stick around for a third year. The Panthers need to get better here, whether in free agency or the draft. Running back: Carolina cut veteran running back Miles Sanders on Tuesday. While Sanders was a disappointment during his two years in Charlotte, his release leaves the depth chart pretty light behind Chuba Hubbard. The Panthers only have Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks (coming o a second ACL surgery in as many oseasons) and Emani Bailey on the depth chart. There are plenty of options available in free agency at the running back position. Wide receiver: The Panthers like the trio of Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, but they simply aren’t good enough to contend as a starting group. The Panthers need to raise the ceiling and the oor at the position, similar to the way they double dipped on defensive linemen on Monday. The options were somewhat limited in free agency at the position, but Carolina might have some hope coming in the draft or the trade market down the line. Tight end: While Tremble is back in the mix, the Panthers have him, Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jordan Matthews as players of note at the position. Matthews, by the way, hasn’t caught a regular-season pass in several years. So, the Panthers might want to look at the free-agent or trade markets to add depth before the draft. That said, the rookie class at tight end is considered to be major strength of the incoming NFL talent. Cornerback: Jackson and Jaycee Horn make up a strong pair of starters for the secondary. However, the nickel position is a bit of a mystery with second-year DB Chau Smith-Wade currently penciled into it. The rest of the group is lled with unknowns, and the Panthers could aord to bring in a proven commodity on a one-year deal to expand the experience in the room. Insurance, especially with Horn, is necessary Inside linebacker: There isn’t much to write home about behind starters Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace. Claudin Cherelus, last year’s third inside linebacker for much of the season, is coming o toe surgery. Special teams ace Jon Rhattigan, while strong in his role, was rarely used on defense last year. Upgrades are necessary at this position, whether in the draft or in free agency. (Update: The Panthers agreed to terms with LB Christian Rozeboom on Wednesday.) Kicker: The team signed Matthew Wright to compete this summer. But with Eddy Piñeiro likely headed elsewhere, the Panthers need to push Wright with a talented specialist. Kick/punt returner
