Will Scott Fitterer be back?

The feeling around the league is that Tepper will be hiring replacements for both Frank Reich and Fitterer, the former Seattle Seahawks personnel executive who succeeded Marty Hurney in 2021. The Panthers have gone 14-37 since Fitterer arrived, a .275 winning percentage that is the NFL’s lowest over that span.

Matt Rhule had final roster say during Fitterer’s first two years, so it was tough to say exactly who was calling the shots. But Fitterer had no impediments this year, when he failed to surround Young with enough playmakers or build adequate depth along the offensive line.

Tepper has fired a lot of coaches — football and soccer — and team officials over his six seasons as owner. But he’s never cleaned house and hired a head coach and GM at the same time. That streak could be ending.

Who gets the job, if it’s available?

Assistant general manager Dan Morgan, who’s close with Fitterer and worked with him in Seattle, seems to have positioned himself to hold a key role during any transition period. That doesn’t necessarily mean Morgan will be promoted to GM, but he could be considered.

Tepper interviewed 15 candidates before Fitterer was hired, several of whom have since become GMs elsewhere. One candidate from 2021 to keep an eye on is Kansas CityChiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis, who has a background in analytics (of importance to Tepper), salary-cap management and roster strategy.

Analytics is what got us Bryce Young

 

Tepper will NEVER learn

That’s incorrect.  Analytics said Bryce has the biggest chance to go bust in the NFL.  Tepper has used almost no analytics when making a football decision.  He’s been going with his gut and that’s why we are where we are.

Yep, Bill is interested in the job so sounds like he’s top 3 choice.  They said Johnson makes the most sense as Johnson and Evero have the same agents and are perfect match.

Tepper likes to swing big, so don’t rule out Bill Belichick if he and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft cut ties. I’m told Belichick has asked others about Tepper and the Panthers’ situation. But like Johnson, Belichick figures to have other opportunities.

Yes but it is a lengthy article and with copyright didn’t want to pull it all

It talked about Morgan too but not necessarily as THE GM 

it mentioned Bellinchek

…just found the KC connection a good one 

hey, at least they are winners.  Go there or the 49ers or Detroit or Ravens

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
