Rivera’s send off was Elegant, Foxes departure was cold

Coaches, fans, players, the media, and the Panthers all sent Ron packing with a bunch of grace and elegance. 
 

It’s so much different than when Fox played his last game and sort of just disappeared. 
 

Is this 100% because of social media?  Is this a Tepper thing?  Hurn-dawg?  What was the difference?

Rivera is a nice person.

Fox is not.

Fox was worse than Rivera. His own willful ignorance to trot Delhomme out there past his prime. His unwillingness to adapt and his no balls coaching style got him what he deserved.  He rode the coat tails of Steve Smith, Double Trouble and a few elite defenses pieces until he got exposed. At least Ron TRIED to win, and even be innovative at times.

There was an entire year's worth of drama that preceded Fox's exit, including his wife coming into the Panther offices and making a huge scene about the team not extending him.

 

I've never heard this story. Do you have a link or something with any details?

It came from somebody that used to work there.

Same source told the story about Fox dragging a visibly uncomfortable Marty Hurney to a strip club around the time of the 2003 Super Bowl.

I hadn't heard that one either... behind the times out here in KC.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
