Does Tepper keep Fitt and let him hire his own coach?

How would that be different than letting Fitts do it? Tepper hired Fitts, along with heavy input from Matt fuging Rhule. 😂

 

End of the day, Tepper is choosing the new HC. Our only hope is that whoever our GM is can put some candidates in front of him. Now if we fire Fitts with Rhule, what GM worth anything is going to come here knowing that they aren't even going to get a legitimate chance to actually do anything? You're ready to fire him after 1 season. Who's coming here on such a short leash? We'll end up in the same position we were trying to find a new OC. Do you really want Ben McAdoo of GMs?

Come on, LG. That's a cop out and you know it.

I can tell you I am not comfortable with putting our future leadership in the hands of the dimmest football mind in the building.

Whatever you think of Fitterer, you know he knows more about football than Tepper.

Which part was a cop out? It's just the truth.

If you fire the GM, guess who's hiring both the next GM and the next head coach 🤔

I'd absolutely give Fitterer and Morgan the chance to pick a head coach before I'd give David Tepper the chance to pick an entire braintrust of his own choosing.

Tepper needs to hire someone who will help scout the next GM (like JR did with Gettle despite lot working out), then that GM needs to surround himself with his people and hire the next coach like basically every other FO does.

Fitterer is a likable guy but I’m underwhelmed by him. I think he’s a breath of fresh air because we had Hurney for 2 stints and a fat joke in between those two stints. 
 

All of his trades and all are exciting but I haven’t exactly seen any of them pan out. He has depleted our draft capital and while it’s two early to tell on his draft choices many of them have been underwhelming too.

He’s not Marty Hurney which is why he is liked so much. I think if Rhule goes, he needs to as well.

He already said the last time they did a GM search that he wasn't going to do that.

Tepper also stated it was his desire to bring in a "non-traditional" GM who had a background in analytics rather than personnel. If there's one thing we can thank Matt Rhule for, it's helping us avoid going down that path.

But hey, if you guys want to argue that the person who thought the best path to success was to give a big contract and full control to a mid-tier college coach is the right guy to choose our future leadership, I'm willing to listen.

Gonna have to be a hell of a sales job though...

Tepper should never have kept Hurney. He should’ve hired a GM and let him choose the coach. Instead he did it ass backwards. I have no idea if Fitterer is a good GM or not because he has Rhule and Tepper anchored to him, but I don’t care. Clean house, start over, and do it the right way.

hire a search firm to find the next general manager. Give him 100% freedom to build his front office as fit and hire whoever he wants as head coach. Then him and the coach are on the same clock unlike it is now. The way this season is going they will also be in position to pick the next franchise QB as well.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
