Let's draft Adam Morrison, let's draft Malik Monk instead of Donovan Mitchell, let's draft MKG...

MJ, your decisions are crap, let your GM do his damn job. Who in the hell are you going to hire now?  He better be head and shoulders better than Borrego since your emotions decided to can him. 

What a cluster this is.

Yes, he has. But wasn't the Borrego firing all him?  I know Mitch is covering for him, but this seems an MJ decision. When MJ "interferes", bad things go down.

Borrego was what he was.  We saw his ceiling as a coach, and it wasn't pretty.  We need a new coach and although this is embarrassing, it probably is for the best because Atkinson is a bum and D'Antoni and Snyder are better options.

More embarrassing things happening for Charlotte sports, although personally I wanted D'Antoni much more than Atkinson so hopefully this plays out like it did for the Colts getting a much better HC after McDaniels pulled this poo on them. fug Kenny A

Yeah it is bs because this dude should've never  accepted the offer or went through with the  other interviews we gave him. It's draft week and now it's forcing Mitch to see which direction  goes best with new coach. Btw... hope we don't go after Looney... im tired of neglecting the 5 position  with just guys.

Crazy how going from down 2-1 in the NBA Finals to 4-2 and NBA Champions changes someone's mind so quickly. I liked the idea of Atkinson as coach but he just let his true colors show. The guy is a coward à la Josh McDaniels. Guy went from being ready to jump ship when he thought the Warriors may lose in the finals to "Oh wait I'm getting a ring? Nevermind, fug Charlotte. Bay Area for life". What a giant pussy.

Atkinson’s heart wasn’t in it from the start, whatever, I didn’t want him anyway and I’m personally glad that he isn’t going to be our head coach. However, that fact that he was able to deceive our higher ups when it should have been obvious that his heart wasn’t truly in it is concerning. It leads credence to the belief that our front office has no idea how to hire a competent head coach.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
