Not a very "adult" thing to do, talking bad about former employees. Especially since there was no need to do so, seeing as he wasnt tied to McAdoo.  All he ever neede to say about the former coach is that he felt the team needed to go in a different direction.  This is another example of his unprofessionalism.

nj.com is pretty sensationalist. they make these clickbaity titles all the time. once you read the article though, and you look at the direct quotes, it says nothing about mcadoo specifically. he just says he prefers that his head coaches have more experience and are level headed, instead of going for the young turks.

Hurney 2.0 > Gettleman  

So far, I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm still distrustful, mainly due to boneheaded decisions in training camp and Hurney's history. But the trade of Benjamin and the firing of Shula have given me hope that maybe perhaps Hurney has learned a few things. The real test will come in free agency and the draft. If Hurney can direct just one successful off-season, then the 2018 Panthers could be the first to have a consecutive winning season and could perhaps challenge for the Super Bowl. If Hurney does old Hurney things, this team is gonna spin out of control like a top that's lost momentum

Hurney didn't fire Shula...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
