From the article...

Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer and new coach Frank Reich are on the same page as they take a collaborative approach to roster construction. Previous coach Matt Rhule had control over the 53-man roster and didn’t appear overeager to budge on certain decisions. That dynamic will change with Fitterer regaining control while working with Reich for his input.

So basically, a normal NFL front office...

Both Reich and Fitterer are known to be easy going, non-ego driven personalities, so things are expected to go smoothly between them.

I'm sure they thought about going with The Appaloosa Model but they ultimately settled on this instead 😐

Im honestly shocked at anyone thats able to have both HC and GM duties....theres not enough time in the day/week/month/year. Plus the stress level must reach space. Its super difficult to weigh winning now and future building.....cannot imagine that as both.

And David Tepper thought Matt Rhule can do it all and a bunch of other responsibilities......

I feel like that whole time he was in charge was just a really bad dream.

Keep asking myself "Did that really happen?" 😳

And yet we had people arguing right up to the end that he was doing good and could turn it all around given time 😄

Wonder if our old buddy Dr Lunker still thinks that 

You put out his ultra bait "Appaloosa Model", lols......I sorta miss him, form a entertaining side 

Truth be told, I bought into(some) after I thought 2020 2-14 was the max record.......he pulled out his standard 5-11 season, *but 8 of those losses were within one scores. Seemed to be a great building block, no other building took place in the coming years..

I was never a fan of hiring a college coach but said I'd give him a chance.

Year one is pretty much always nothing special, but we'd gone into that season expecting to come out with the worst record in the league so 5-11 seemed like an overachieving year.

By about the middle of year two though it was like "oh, okay". 🙄

Leroy Hoard used to say "if you need three and a half yards, I'll get you three and a half yards. And if you need five yards, I'll get you three and a half yards."

That statement works well with Matt Rhule if you change it to five wins.

It's the norm for a reason. Let the coach focus on coaching and let the GM focus on roster building. Yeah, it's a collaborative effort but both jobs are full time plus jobs. 

Tepper came in thinking he was gonna revolutionize the league, show everybody how it's done and look like a big balled genius.

Instead he's a massive failure so far, is learning why things are the way they are and looks like a big bald numbskull.

Yeah, the guys who eventually get full control are generally proven NFL winners with a SB ring or two or more on their fingers.

Not guys who racked up wins against unranked college teams at Baylor and Temple while losing to every actual good team they faced.

That era pretty much ended when the salary cap started.  Someone would need extremely good assistant coaches and support staff on the GM side to pull it off.  And then they would need to keep those people in place or have a steady stream of exceptional talent to replace them.

The problem The Process had is that he was about as good as he was going to get in year one.  To get better at anything, the person needs to realize they need to get better or even can get better.  He did not see the need, and he thought his methods were the epitome. 

What he discovered was that immortal Jerry Glanville quote, that if you are a pro coach NFL stands for Not For Long.

Imagine having all those responsibilities and then wasting precious time micro managing social media and taking vacations in the middle of the season. Matt Rhule was one of the worst hires ever.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers’ Biggest Roster Needs

      By NAS · Posted

      BPA in draft all the way. Address your biggest needs in free agency.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.
