Jonathan Jones was being interviewed about the Panthers firing Hurney. Nick Wilson asked him if he knew of any candidates. He mentioned a couple of hypotheticals (Ed Dodds, Nick Caserio, Ryan Poles) but gave one specific name that's being linked to the Panthers in "league circles",

Jeff Ireland

The connection to Matt Rhule is obviously fuel for the speculation, but Ireland's been a hot GM candidate for a few years now due to the work he's done running the Saints draft.

So at this point, Ireland is an official...rumor.

Took a look at the Saints forum...

Saint fans are nervous, unhappy and worried at the prospect of Ireland taking the Panthers job. A few are rationalizing reasons why he wouldn't want the promotion to GM or want to leave the Saints while others are resigned to him being gone.

Granted, might not happen, but... :)

Yep. 

Here's a rundown of what he did that got himself fired:

There was this guy named Bill something who sucked in Cleveland but did a lot better on his second job.

I don't know if Ireland's the guy, but he's done enough at this point to be a hot candidate for not just our job, but others also,

      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.
