Panthers hire new director of player personnel

[panther4life]

Not sure what this means for Jeff Morrow who’s been with the team since the 90’s and is listed as the “executive director of player personnel”

Or Matt Allen (Richardson’s grandson btw) who is listed as the “director of pro personnel”

 

[Mr. Scot]

That's not one of the positions they had previously announced they were hiring for.

Director of Player Personnel would mean he's over both the college and pro scouting departments.

Great hire

Person cleared it up: No new assistant GM hire coming now. This is the hire.

Patrick Stewart was hired by the Eagles as a national scout in the 2018 offseason. Prior to joining the Eagles scouting staff, Stewart held multiple positions with the New England Patriots from 2007-17. He was originally hired by New England as a scouting assistant in 2007 and went on to serve as both an area scout (2009, 2013-17) and pro scout (2010-12). He has been a part of two Super Bowl Championship teams (XLIX and LI). Before entering the NFL, Stewart worked as an assistant director of football operations at Temple University (2006) under head coach Al Golden. Prior to that, he served as a graduate assistant coach at Western Carolina for the 2005 season

Pat Stewart was with Matt Rhule at Western Carolina in 2005 and at Temple in '06. This is definitely more a Rhule hire than a Marty Hurney hire.

Confirmed Pat Stewart hired as director of player personnel. Panthers not expected to hire as asst GM. This is the new hire. He'll oversee the pro scouting side, Jeff Morrow will retain exec. dir. of player personnel title and continue to oversee college side.

Of course he was.

Sounds like the team realized nobody was gonna give them permission to hire an "Assistant GM" without final roster say.

"Director of Player Personnel" is about as close to that title as you can get.

[Mr. Scot]

And of course, all future transactions will be sealed with the word "engage".

Hiring Pat Stewart is a smart move. He has spent the last decade+ with two of the most successful, operationally-sound orgs (Pats, Eagles). This is not simply a “Matt/Temple connection” hire. It’s a really good, smart set of eyes for their pro personnel efforts.

Specifically with the Patriots, Stewart was both a college and pro scout. Does not mean anyone is leaving because of this hiring, Panthers were planning to add to front office this offseason.
