Considering Tepper knows who advocated for what…This tells me he had different ideas and can’t be held accountable for past decisions. Or at least Dan doesn’t think he can.

I mean, there is no way he would interview if he was a driving force for Ickey, Bryce, etc. 

He must think he can go in and say, you guys screwed up, this is what I wanted, this is what we’ll do.

Morgan's role with the Panthers was expected to focus on pro-personnel since that's his background.

With that said, it doesn't matter so much what we think of decisions that he was part of as it does what Tepper thinks.

what about G reg and his 3rd leg?  I thought he was interested?

I doubt that was ever a serious consideration.

The fact was, we felt so strongly about the quarterback this year, right?" Fitterer said. "Like, even in our February meetings, where every scout had the same opinion on this guy. It never really changed. It just kind of held strong that way, right? That reinforced that we're doing the right thing."

Fitterer and the scouts thought a certain way in January. A new staff of coaches rolls in in February, and they initially think the same thing. The more they learned, the more sure they became.

I would put money on that there wasn't concensus on the draft until they announced that Frank gave his decision to Fitterer in their "5 second meeting" a week before the draft. The trade up to 1 changed everything about the draft plans going in. The pressure was on to make sure Frank's initial plan (whoever was at 3 it appears) was better than the concensus 1st overall Bryce Young. 

I would also bet Frank knew if he went against management and his guy struggled he was toast anyway.  But little did he know that he was screwed no matter who he chose because this team is ass and ran by a buffoon.

sounds about right

 

The poo that was coming out of that front office since Feb was discombobulated, confusing and in general a clusterfug.  Not sure why they are making things this hard.   In a nutshell stop saying stupid poo like "not drafting in top 10 again" "point guard" "Every starting spot is better" "drop a qb in" "conviction" etc

 

Just shut the fug up and dont say poo that will make you look stupid down the road

I just want to know if there was anyone else in the building that advocated for Bryce over CJ and Mingo over Dell, Downs, etc.

He will interview for the position..

Yay or nay as GM?

I hope he is truly considered as a serious candidate. He has been in a position to see the mistakes made, he also has been with a winning organization.

So I suggested elsewhere that rather than be GM, Morgan could be a good person for the role Joe Person has talked about, i.e. an ego handler and a go-between for Tepper and team personnel.

I'm probably more comfortable with that idea.

Per Mike Lombardi on GM Shuffle yesterday - “I don’t know where this all goes…I was told Dan Morgan - perhaps he’s really kind of endeared himself to Tepper’s wife.”

Carolina discussion starts at 43:36 mark.

I’ve been staunchly against retaining any member of this front office. You can’t have this many catastrophic whiffs with each personnel decision. That’s just my opinion. Hurney/Gettleman still had hits with guys like Beane around. This front office hasn’t even produced a single or walk. Maybe I’m wrong about Dan but it would be hard for me to stomach someone that helped put this team together calling the final shots that Tepper would allow.

Hell if I know.   I thought Reich would be a good coach.  Whatever the sports consultant dudes think I'm in.

Not really interested hiring from within when we have been so terrible.

Does it matter at this point? They are all gone except Dave and Nicole. They go with whoever Fitterer told them to or vice-versa.  If you watch the draft videos it sure looked like Fitterer had a lot of say in what went down. Dave and Nicole was just happy to be there. It appears to be a group cluster f*ck when you step back and look at all the parts and pieces at play in this mess.

[Khyber53]

I wouldn't choose him, but at this point, can it get worse? Or could it just keep going like it has been until we are the new version of the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns and Arizona/St.Lous/Chicago/Boston Cardinals.

Sad days, indeed. Looks like the rain won't let up for a while.

Had to be expected, he's interviewed with the steelers last season.
