you can always tell who the newer fans are by how quick they are to hedge their bets in the extreme on something

I remember the meltdown when Brandon beane looked like the front runner for GM.

also congratulations on the Huddle finally installing a poster in a position of influence within the organization

“If it’s broke don’t fix it” Tepper probably

According to sources, Tepper captained the search for his next GM along with his wife, Nicole, team president Kristi Coleman, Panthers senior assistant coach and longtime NFL head coach Jim Caldwell and Mike Forde, who heads the search firm Sportsology.
 

…

The same people that traded up to draft a 5'6 QB with no arm talent. Benny Hill music should have been playing as background noise during the 'interview'. Good for Dan Morgan though. Being able to tell a narc billionaire what he wants to hear is proving to be a very lucrative skill around these parts.

Sounds like a yes man 

 

Yeah that's 100% speculation.

I'm still trying to figure out what in the fug Nicole Tepper knows about hiring a GM for an NFL franchise. 

[Jon Snow]

Maybe he was the only person to take it? Imagine having to work for Tepper 24/7?

I was thinking of the old - "sometime the answer is on the roster..."

Late to the party. Good for Dan. I hope he does a great job. He KNOWS football. Other GMs have not. Hopefully as an assistant he got a crash course in the business. That will be his toughest aspect. As for the Yes Man stuff ... we have zero idea. He was an assistant GM here. His opinions could have easily fallen on deaf ears. Now he only has one man to convince and hopefully can stand up to Tepper.

Will we hire another Assistant GM?

I think it's going to be Adrian Wilson

What is the opinion in this tweet based on, exactly? Would be curious to know.

If true, blech, with the fringe silver lining of them understanding his limitations and weaknesses and actually attempting to build to cover for them.

she's 0-2. Hiring Reich and drafting Bryce.

Well, it's interesting.  Thrilled for the legacy, but very curious to see how he does since he and Fitterer were so close.

Look, I wish Dan nothing but success.  We'll see what happens, but I am a little puzzled why we didn't go outside the organization.

Here's to hoping!

Be nice if he turned into our Ozzie Newsome...
