According to Ian Rapoport, the Panthers have lined up 3 candidates for a second interview: Adam Peters (49ers), Monti Ossenfort (Titans), and Scott Fitterer (Seahawks). These apparently seem to be the finalists for the General Manager position. 

Based on this and earlier reports, it seems that Tepper is deferring to Matt Rhule's choices for the GM spot, and all of them have familiar connections to Rhule. The analytical guy that Tepper wants could come from another source. 

Don't know if it matters, but it's interesting that 2 out of the 3 finalists come from the Bill Walsh/West Coast style of team building, and one (Monti) is from the Bill Parcells/Belichick school of team building.

Still wish they'd bring in Joe Schoen, but I've resigned to these 3 and would be happy with any of them.

Makes sense

I hope it isnt Ossenfort. 

[Panther Believer]

Adam Peters and we go streaking through Charlotte....with masks.

[Soul Rebel]

Any of these three would be outstanding, with Peters being the priority choice. 

It's an exciting time to be a Panthers fan, for sure.

Another response from another 49ers fan

Peters pls.

KC's drafts while he was there were awesome. He's done great in SF too.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd forgotten about Peters also being connected with Phil Snow

I read Peters is the one whose been heavily scouting the college qbs for the 9ers this year.....

9ers board is kind of freaking out. Saying they need to move lynch to President and put peters in at GM. Multiple posters saying that not just one. 

“Worst kept secret” so apparently he’s pretty beloved there.

Correction, Monti is from Parcells school, Fitterer from Bill Walsh school and Peters has influences in both (Patriots/Broncos/49ers). I like that diversity of different team building skillsets, maybe I'm rooting for Peters after all.

But don't you guys think with so much history that the power dynamic will be skewed? Personal relationships, especially from coach to player, might not make Peters fight as hard for a player he likes if Rhule doesn't agree.
