Jeff Ireland rumored to be a GM candidate


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

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,

    • I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
    • 2010 was worse. Not much worse but worse. 
    • Lol since 2017 the Panthers are 47-85,    Also since 2017 the Giants are 40-91-1   Lol
