is there a worse destination than Carolina for a GM or HC?

It's a great place to be overpaid. That's really it. If you are tired of working this is the team handing out hefty retirement packages if your health can survive the toxic work environment.

Bingo. If you're ambitious and want to win and create a legacy this is the worst situation in the league hands down. If you just want to take some millions out of a billionaire's bank account and ride off laughing this is your spot.

The only thing going for us, aside from money, was being in the worst division by far.  Now that the Atlanta job is open, we don’t even have that advantage.

Atl in my opinion is one decent qb away from being exceptional.  I highly suspect they target a whiz kid offensive guy in their search

Maybe the challenge of making this an average team again would appeal to some people.

It's one of 32 NFL GM jobs in the world.

If you're applying for a job at that level you back yourself to be a success at it.

The problem the Panthers have is that if you're applying for multiple NFL GM jobs the Panthers opening will be at the bottom of your list, so we won't get the perceived 'best' GM this offseason.

Honestly, this team is a blank slate for a GM.  Unlike other teams in the league that have players under very long contracts, the Panthers currently only have 7 players under contract for 3 years or longer currently. We also currently do not have a ton of dead money going into next season. We are not in a bad position salary cap wise.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
