Honestly, Rhule Fitterer and Samir are the first 3 out the door. 

Samir is one of the top salary cap managers in the NFL and is often talked about as a potential GM candidate because of it.

Waste of money for Tepper...

...he does/keeps the salary cap math in his head.

Fitt and Morgan did make the decision to work with Rhule and let Rhule have final decisions.

That is a red flag in decision making right out of the gate. Even Bridgewater, Kuechly, and Perryman knew to gtfo from under Rhule.

Retaining players is going to be near impossible.

Fitt’s personnel decisions have been spot on. Darnold was a low risk, high reward proposition. We essentially lost a 2nd round pick for a guy who a lot of people thought could be rehabbed. 
 

We are loaded at one of the most valuable positions in football (DB). 
 

Imo his draft was pretty good with Horn, Tremble, Nixon, Hubbard, Marshall etc. 

I totally agree.  I still stand by that this may have been the best draft class the Panthers have ever had. Almost all have contributed somehow.  Marshall, Smith, Brown and even Christensen have been hindered by Rhule.

He deserves to pick his coach and run an organization properly.

I don't think he did...

...the Appaloosa Model potends for a collaborative approach and Fitty/Rhule were on equal footing.

The org chart looks like this:

                          TEPPER

                 RHULE <  > FITTERER

                     [EVERYONE ELSE]

 

As such, internally it's seen as a "we" problem (Fitty/Tepp/Matt) vs. a "you" problem (Rhule) and the likely near-term reaction/solution will be material changes in a number of areas but the ruling-troika continues for another year...

(doing my best here to get rid of Rhule for all you haters )

Rhule has full control of the roster and final say on decisions.  It was talked about a lot when he signed
