Will McClay from the Cowboys would be my top choice.

His name comes up every hiring cycle because few teams have been as consistently good personnel wise as they have over the past several years. 

Not sure about his availability but from what I know, it would be a promotion since he's not the official GM in Dallas.

Give me people that will prioritize and make serious investments into the lines of scrimmage like DAL & to @TheBigKat’s suggestion like Philadelphia. Carolina has only taken 3 OL in the top 3 rounds since 2019. Part of that though likely revolves around this organization’s inability to properly scout personnel.

Does anyone think Dan Morgan gets consideration? I’m conflicted about him because he seems tarnished by the current regime.

Everyone employed under Scott should be gone.  That means you might lose some good people in the process. 

it’s similar to why Fitt should of gone with Rhule.  When it’s THIS bad….you can waste time trying to sort out what % belongs to who.  This is the worst roster in our history and these clowns thought they were doing something….and Dan is clearly part of that

Is there enough time to totally revamp scouting and build it up by April?

If you hire a GM who runs a private scouting firm......  The plot thickens. 

Damn, that is a really good point.

All things considered, Dimitrioff had a good run of success in ATL for a while, ended poorly but that super bowl loss broke that entire organization.

Wouldn't hate it, wouldn't absolutely love it, relatively safe choice.

No, there isn't.

The vast majority of the in-season scouting work is already done. The next steps are things like the all star games, Combine, pro days, etc.

Scouting and personnel guys don't tend to get fired until after the draft, and I'd prefer to at least keep Adrian Wilson anyway.

Interesting internal candidates would be Wilson and Samir. Samir seems like a very no nonsense guy.

Serious question, what exactly has Wilson done to warrant being kept? Outside of being a name people recognize from their playing days.

everyone in that front office has to go IMO, good bad or indifferent we need a clean reset because what is there is obviously not working, from pro scouting down to college scouting bleach it all

The upper levels of it.   I mean, that’s largely what I am referring to.  I’m not talking about every scout and the entire network. 

No reason keeping Morgan and all top brass under Scott.  Gut it all.  Which shouldn’t be an issue to replace the leadership/top

If they pluck someone from Philadelphia, I'd prefer Brandon Hunt.

He's got loads of experience, and most of it being with the Steelers organization would mean he's familiar with Tepper.

Mind you, that also means at least potentially he might be someone who'd be willing to call temper on his bullsh-t.

I'm not too impressed with the drafting of the Arizona Cardinals over the past three to four years.... Just saying

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
