Tepper confirmed in his presser that he actually already has "a couple of people" that he's trying to wrangle for the team president job. Voth clearly already knew about it when he asked the question.

No names given, but I've long suspected Steeler second in command Omar Khan would be an ideal candidate for that.  I may take a look at other possible options at some point.

It'll be interesting to see who gets named, and how soon it happens.

I'd prefer Genghis Kahn, with his own statue:

Max Henson officially confirms the search is on for a team president, and a few other things...

Quote

His arrival has signaled change, evidenced by something as simple as new paint and the removal of signage in the stadium lobby.

Among the major changes he discussed at the presser:

  • A new practice facility, which he believes the team desperately needs. “We can’t be less than competitive with other NFL teams,” he said. “We’re falling behind a little bit.”
  • Early discussions about plans to “re-do” the stadium and host more events for the Charlotte community, like concerts and high school championship games.
  • The search for a team president, who will be tasked with fostering a family environment.

Kinda wonder what signs they took down :thinking:

Probably all of the stuff that referenced Jerry Richardson as the owner. He was pretty proud of himself, so there was a good bit of it. 

Seems logical.

Perhaps he wasn't "contractually obligated" to keep anything other than the statue up.

That's some Kim Jong Un level narcissism, contractually obligating them to keep his statue. That thing is an eyesore. I wonder how long he'll have to keep it up.

The other name that's been mentioned in connection with Tepper in the past was former Browns Chief financial officer and later team president Mike Keenan. A while back, Ian Rapoport said Keenan was being talked about as a possible addition under Tepper.

Keenan was fired in 2010 and, if I recall correctly, hasn't worked in the NFL since. My understanding is that he worked well as a financial guy, but not so much as a football guy.

If Rodrigue is correct and Tepper plans to replace both Tina Becker and Danny Morrison with separate people, Keenan could be a candidate to take over the business side of the operation. It's also possible that Tepper will appoint someone solely for the business side and leave the football side untouched for now.

We'll see.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
