It was reported today that longtime Steelers GM Kevin Colbert may be on his way out after the season. He has been signing one year deals the past couple of seasons to stay with the Steelers but the thought is that tenure could be coming to an end. Does Tepper break out the checkbook as he did with Rhule and finally push ol' Hurndog up out of here? FTLOG lets hope so.

Had this discussion last year too.

There were rumors that Tepper had been in touch with Colbert, and given the level of success he's had it would make sense.

He's only a few years younger than Marty though, probably not a long term solution.

I've said before though, and still say, that I would happily hand him the keys and allow him to restructure the football organization however he saw fit in a consultant role or some such.

I'd be onboard with this is.  Give him a couple of years and let him groom Stewart.

If I were Tepper I'd do whatever the fug it takes to get this guy and give him full control of the front office to work with Rhule. Those 2 would bring us a Super Bowl, I have zero doubts about that. Long term solution or not who the fug cares. He'd bring us a championship within 5 years. No brainer if we can get him. Colbert + a QB in this offseason and we'll be back in fuging business boys.

Steelers reporter Ed Bouchette was the guy reporting this last year. For the record, Bouchette is one of the best in the business. He's covered the Steelers forever.

Colbert has been King of Everything in Steelerland for 20 plus years. So the question becomes why would they be thinking of parting ways with him.

From what I've read, it's Tomlin.

Colbert and Tomlin have apparently been having a power struggle for a few years now, and it looks like Tomlin is winning. That whole thing where minority owners (possibly including Tepper) were trying to get rid of Tomlin a while back is apparently part of the story. Don't know if Colbert was directly involved, but he may have been part of the story in some form or another.

Mind you, Colbert is 63 and it's also quite possible that he's approaching Roger Murtaugh territory (i.e. "too old for this sh-t").

      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.
