Panthers hiring a writer?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Saw this on Twitter...

Don't know how legit this place is, but it links to this job description:

Quote

The Carolina Panthers are hiring a seasoned writer to report news and enterprise engaging stories.  The ideal candidate should have experience working a beat, from covering all angles on game day to providing practice observations and conducting interviews inside and outside the locker room.  The reporter who fills this position will not be expected to focus solely on positive angles. Instead, the top candidate will be able to use his or her inside access to help educate fans on why things are happening to provide a level of transparency that is uncommon on most team websites.

That's pretty interesting if this is legit.

Does kinda make me wonder if it means anything for Bill Voth or Max Henson. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like we heard less and less from Voth over the past season or two.

Like so much else with this franchise, I will believe it when I see it. Sounds too good to be true. We still can't get teansperancy on why Marty is still employeed...great talent evaluator is a statement that needs to be fact checked...enough to lose the job right there. I'm fine with the organization producing fluff as long as I don't have to pretend it is anything but that. I firmly belive the best analysis of the organization needs ro come from without so that the facts or opinions are not tainted by the powers that be.

Hell, Mixon still has a job. Why not fix that first before attempting such a difficult thing most likely doomed to fail?

Judging by posts from the past year or so, I'm pretty sure Voth is now overseeing media production for the Panthers, so day to day reporting isn't really his bag anymore. Makes sense as he started his own production company in Charlotte before BBR if I'm not mistaken.

Voth changed when he became an employee.  Kinda strange they wouldn't offer him that kind of job but basically just take of the handcuffs.

What's happened with Voth kinda reminds me of when they promoted Captain Kirk to admiral.

Sure, it's technically a promotion, but it also takes you away from what you're probably best at.

Bill is more of a video guy than a writer for the Panthers. They fired Brian last year. Maybe they will promote Max and then hire a junior. Many companies post jobs per policy even if they have someone in mind already 

I knew Strickland was gone. Didn't know he'd been fired. Was there a reason?

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
