Then why is he still here? Why not begin the hiring process on the GM side now?

I have no idea how keeping SF helps any master plan if he is going to just be around for a couple more weeks. This just sounds like pure speculation from a source. I wish it is true but that doesn't make it true unfortunately. 

I can understand why he is still here, even if I don’t like it, that there is no reason to fire Fitt till Black Monday.

Do GMs historically get fired in season? The last one off the top of my head was Marty almost a decade ago.

Dave was fired right before the season started. Some wait until after the draft. It's a mixed bag.

In this case why would they need to wait 4 more weeks? Is his work getting that time left to prove himself? Has Tepper ever really shown enough competency that it's normal for him to do the typical thing? 

If he wasn't fired by now I am very skeptical he will be fired. Maybe he is being held as a backup plan if Tepper can't buy what he wants to in the offseason. That is the best rational I could think of vs just starting the hiring process and getting a head start on other teams.

I’ll keep reiterating it - Tepper had better not retain 1 single person in that front office. Keeping anyone associated with this comedy of errors will show he hasn’t learned a damn thing. 

The entire front office is terrible. Scouting as well.

Tepper is the head clown though. It will always be a circus

Congrats to Dan Morgan - next years Panthers GM. Let’s hope he can run a football team better than he could a pizza place.

I seriously don't get it. I can guess the first part but what the hell is he doing between now and Black Monday that would be any different than just firing him now?

Maybe who they want to go after is still a part of a competitive team. Fitterer's job is basically done for this season anyways so he's just sitting around watching his shitty roster waiting for the ax

Yeah - the biggest donkey in the building remains unfortunately. Can’t wait to see what huge embarrassing failure he concocts next.

They can't officially hire them in that situation but they can interview and make a deal to hire them after the playoffs. So why wait?

Good

It doesn't matter unless Tepper is going to hire someone and let them actually do their job. Hire qualified people, step back, and give them some time and space to fix this mess you've made.
