Dan Morgan going for GM job

He's not a name that appears on a list of people interviewing for GM spots around the league, so I don't see why we should give him any serious consideration. Sure it may be unfair associating him with what may not have been his failures, but he's tainted by how bad the team has been.

Best thing for him would be a sideways move to be assistant GM on another team and try and build up his rep somewhere else.

His name was gaining traction around the league before he joined the staff here. I wouldn't hate the move and he seems to be more on the player evaluation side versus the analytic type guys that have been announced so far.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they give him the job and one of the candidates being interviewed wind up as an assistant to pair with him. Kind of like how we ended up with Evero on staff after an impressive interview as HC.

Morgan was very well respected and highly regarded at Buffalo and worked closely with Beane.  It would be a mistake to not give him a legitimate shot at the GM position.  Having said this, if Morgan had any say in the personnel acquisitions that haven't worked, I don't want any part of Morgan as GM.

I keep seeing this but what has he done, everything written about him just seems like general speak.  Nothing specific, I mean all you are hearing about with fitt is that he was well liked, uh so what he was terrible at his actual job.  I dont care if morgan is well liked, can he do the job?  

 

If someone has an article or tweet or anything about morgan and his tenure other then in charlotte, this would be the thread to post it

Seriously, every single scout for the Carolina Panthers should be fired this offseason.

Every. Single. One. 

I get it--and agree.  But if they were presenting solid advice--like maybe, for example, they suggested Stroud over Young....It is hypothetical, but I am for the house cleaning; I just have seen too many toxic organizations get overhauled when the man at the top was the problem--you are probably right, but I try to consider things I may not understand from the outside looking in.

I've worked with lots of people that it's hard not to like them...until you have to evaluate their actual abilities and performance in their job. Then you want the ass hats gone because they are always screwing up or not pulling their weight.

    • He has attempted 8 shootout goals in his NHL career and made 1. He is among our worst SO guys on the entire roster in terms of career stats.
    • Against Miami, the Panthers were behind by 17 in the 2nd quarter facing a 4th - 5. Young completed a 21 yard pass and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced a 4th - 5 and again, he completed a 17 yard pass and they went onto score a TD for the win. He also accounted for 2 of the 3 TD's.  As I said, he got them in that mess and no doubt, Rico gets credit as well, but missing on either of those 4th down conversions hands the ball over and results in 1 or 2 less TD's giving them a loss. As you said though, that's just a small quibble. The real question is how does the FO see it?  I am guessing they see it as something to build on. I think most peope here see it as a total loss and fully expect the FO to see it that way as well. Time will tell.  
    • Kochetkov is just too streaky. TBD if Freddie is doing that too. Freddie is the more reliable goalie over his career. The Bussi kid looks like he could be a solid #2 eventually.  Just need to figure out the #1 guy. Same as almost every year. It's not talent, it's consistency and being able to step up in the playoffs.
