If you really think Fitterer compares to Marty Hurney, you've gone waaaaayyy out there.

My point is keeping an old GM who was part of a terrible 3 year run to pick your new coach can have some negative consequences.  What has Fitt done to make him so untouchable in your eyes?

Ideally yes.  Why wouldn't we?  Oh right, because then we'd have to hire someone.  And the thought of hiring anyone is scarier than having Fitterer hire Dan Quinn.  But that's where we'll just never see eye to eye.  That's not going to be a winner, so its time to swing again.

And on your point on the roster, there is no reason to gut the roster to solve a management issue.  You gut the management team.

Thats another issue with Fitt, if and I repeat if the report is true that fitt is focused on Quinn as candidate #1 then thats another reason to say good bye to him.

The thought of hiring someone in general doesn't scare me.

The thought of David Tepper hiring someone does.

  Yep. Hurney actually had experience and a track record that could be judged. And they both sacrificed tons of future cap space to build a bottom level team.

His part of the job, which is drafting and improving the roster.

Is he to blame for the coaching on the field?

this is such a huge part of the problem. good teams will scrap everything from a garbage regime and start fresh. panther, throughout their history, have been like "ohhh yeah THIS guy is bad, but hey lets keep this other guy" and we drag over garbage from the previous regime, and it just spills over. you've all seen the results

This is the kind of stuff that makes me roll my eyes.

There isn't any "report that Fitterer is focused on Quinn as candidate #1".

There is speculation that Dan Quinn could be a candidate for the job because he has connections to both Fitterer and Morgan and it's believed that Tepper wants an experienced coach.

Yet we have people talking as if they've already been on the phone with Quinn discussing contract terms 🙄

A “spot” he was conscious of and accepted when he took his current position.

When you accept the known circumstances of the position and accept the big Tepper money that pays you in that position, you’re not allowed to avoid responsibility for the state of the franchise.

Honestly, I don’t get the Fit defenders logic. It’s like y’all think Tepper stole Fitt from an orphanage and forced him in the GM position without his approval.

It's the same logic people applied when Gettleman was here. Every good move was his but every bad move was Richardson pulling the strings. For whatever reason all rationality is thrown out the door when these discussions occur.

oh wow, way to be totally vague and non-committal

I'll say this because I'm not afraid to dance around an issue

yeah, they are both bad GMs, Hurney is obviously is worse, but Fitt is not far behind. All you "let's see how hurney does without Fox" and now "lets see how Fitt does without Rhule" half measure white noise posters that can't make a decision, let me know in a couple years 

Spoiler alert, fitt is trash and every year we keep him is a wasted one

So his first round picks look solid (like Hurney), but outside of that he hasn't killed it with the draft.  How else would he "improve the roster?"  That sounds like he can sign FAs like Erving and Elf that were signed early to stupid contracts.  Is trading for Sam considered improving the roster?  

Do you really think he have a good roster now?

Wow 😳

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/10/11/carolina-panthers-next-head-coach/

 

I mean really whats the difference:
"Multiple general managers suggested to me that, should Wilks not win the job, Carolina General Manager Scott Fitterer would strongly endorse Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Fitterer and Quinn worked together at the height of the Seahawks’ reign and share a strong relationship, and Quinn, the former head coach in Atlanta, has helped create a dominant unit in Dallas. However, those same GMs believe Quinn will have better options than Carolina."

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
