just assuaging the fears of ppl who think that gettleman is going to poach our front office

there is no front office to poach here

In the end it might be a good thing. People went apeshit when Beane left for Buffalo, but it could all be for the best seeing how things are unfolding with the Bills. Shocker I know.

Depending on who JR sells to and if we get rid of Hurney we could be in nice position for not only a culture change but a philosophy change. Or maybe I'm being too optimistic.

always thought of beane as more of a logistics guy. actually i was kind of frightened during the GM search in late 2012/early 2013 bc i thought there might be a chance that JR would’ve just said “fug it” and gotten rid of the interim tag and rolled with beane

i have no idea what the new ownership is going to be looking for in a front office. i hope they can find a guy with a great football iq that can also crunch the numbers well, and give him free reign to run the team however he wants. if the panthers tank then by all means fire the poo out of him but i don’t want to see any of this bullshit where ownership urges itself into personnel decisions like we have in the past.

There's talk that a lot of people in our front office are doing jobs they're not really qualified for.

Jerry Richardson was known to value loyalty more than ability, and it resulted in a lot of people getting promotions they didn't actually earn. Heck, why do you think Marty Hurney was getting another shot at being GM?

Strong possibility exists that if the new owners bring in someone who knows what they're doing to reorganize things, a lot of people could be demoted or looking for work.

So if anybody from our front office gets "poached" it'd likely be to a lesser position after they're let go here.

You're being too optimistic. I won't believe it until I see it

I remember when Gettleman came to the Panthers, he made a point of saying "I'm not gonna be the guy that just comes in and fires everybody".

Wonder if his experience here changed his mind on that.

I've always believed not doing some "reorganization" was a mistake, especially given how Jerry Richardson operated.

Doubt that. He always said he would give them a chance before he let peeps go. He probably saw that Ross sucked balls at drafting and he was let go asap.

Also he already worked with Ross for years.

Gman just needed to get his own man in position to get ready for the draft in 2018.  Nothing personal, just business .

I do not know how anybody works with JR--He develops friendships with the players--they become off limits.  He meddles behind the scenes and watches his people fall on his swords in public. Not personal, just a character issue.  A former student of mine who worked for him who now works in Buffalo told me that-something to the effect.  Generous man on one side, driven by nonsense on the other.  Remember the "pie chart" press conference? 

My former student told me that JR had everything to do with Gantt getting demoted.  He wants to control the media, get the town to pay for his team, etc.  I guess he was tired of fake news and wanted us (Charlotteans) to pay for the wall, er, stadium renovations.

If he does poach its no ones fault but our own. We could of had them all. And did at one point...
