What about Fritterer?

[Waldo]

What do all of you think Fritterer will do now? His position is far from safe so what does he need to do to save his job?

I don't see how he doesn't start finding deals to dump longterm cap and if not stockpile then at least recover lost picks. How that works with Wilks trying his bestest to not lose would be some interesting friction and the potential for a huge mistake can't be far away.

I know picks are far from guaranteed sucsesses but it is a volume game and right now we gave up way too much for for way too little over the past few years.

I would imagine that Tepper gave him some general guidance as to whether to look to unload contracts where it makes sense.

Sounds like he is staying. Which is good, I like FItt and Morgan both. 

[Ricky Spanish]

If Fitt wants to bring in Dan Quinn then I want him gone.

If he has more control, as in the more traditional role of a GM,  he's going to have to make decisions that lead to winning. 

Tepper sounded like he wasn't necessarily in love with the handling of the resources, specifically drawing the short stick in drafts because of overspending with draft capital (and perhaps real capital), leaving us ass-out on the draft picks--as in not having enough. So, I'd suspect that Fitt is a little more thoughtful and frugal in free agency. Looking at this past offseason, learning from past mistakes seemed like a priority. Well, it sounds like it's going to need to be even more of a priority to keep--err, make Tepper happy.

That would be a deal killer for me also. I was always expecting a washed up HC but I at least thought they would have had some success in the past as a HC...

I think he’s gone at end of season, and Dan Morgan will take over

I hope you are right.

That's pure Panther fan thinking with no evidence to support it. Tepper has no more attachment to Morgan than he did to Newton.

It also ignores that Morgan came here to work with Fitterer. He considers Fitterer his scouting mentor.

Fitterer is definitely going to be under the microscope now that he doesn't have Rhule controlling everything.  In essence he's auditioning to keep his job in a more traditional roll and he's got to get this mess cleaned up before next season starts. After that it's going depend on how successful his clean up performs next season.

He'd be a safe pick that may end up getting canned in a few years once we prove to be mediocre across the board.

Kick rocks. No more buddy buddy hookups hire THE best not your friggin friends. Smh, loser playbook to f' ery

[BrianS]

He deserves a chance to do the job of a GM without someone else telling him what he needs to accomplish.  You cannot put him fully at fault when it has become increasingly clear that Rhule held too much power over the organization.

Maybe he sinks, maybe he swims, but I think he needs a chance to do it as a real GM.
