BREAKING: Panthers make “meh”ssive changes to front office

Couple other things from a quick scan of the staff page...

Morgan is now listed as President of Football Operations. I don't recall seeing that particular title on him before. Ifit was there, I missed it.

Jared Kirksey - a former Jags and Bucs scout hired a few years back - now has Cole Spencer's old Director of College Scouting title.

Former safety Juston Burris is now listed as one of the team's Pro Scouts along with Adam Maxie, the son of one of the original Panthers safeties (Brett Maxie).

Maxie isn't the only one on staff with "dad" connections. Mike Trgovac's daughter Jordan is now our Mid-Atlantic area scout. She's working alongside West area scout Caden McCloughan, the son of former Redskins GM Scot McCloughan (the guy who basically drank himself out of a job).

Been a while since I've looked at this page. Definitely been some changes, and it won't surprise me if there are more.

Odd they aren't even replacing them.  They must have really felt they were doing nothing around there.

I take "absorbed internally" to mean basically that someone already on board will take over their duties. I suppose technically that could make it sound like they were redundant.

I'll grant it could also mean someone will be promoted but that's not how I took it.

Yeah, but I also factor in we got a rich owner.  If I were the guy in charge of hiring, I wouldn't mind spending Tepper's money if I felt we needed it at all.  Makes me feel they weren't doing much.

I don't see why we can't find a rockstar replacement, though.

If they felt like it was a "too many cooks" situation, bringing in somebody new would defeat the purpose.

Morgan's title certainly makes it sound like he's the man now as far as football decisions go. It's been said that Morgan is an old school "watch film" scout where Fitterer had embraced a more analytics style approach. That could mean things are being reshaped to fit what Morgan prefers (not to say analytics will be abandoned, mind you).

And of course, there's the addition of Tilis. Hard not to imagine he's had a voice in all this. Especially true given he's the second most powerful name on the org chart.

Between the two of them, Morgan and Tilis are certainly acquainted with some "rock stars" or potential rock stars in the scouting world. Still, If they feel they have the people necessary to do the job right now, that's good.

I think it's good to have both.  They can work off each other.

Extremely difficult (damn near impossible) to do a complete front office overhaul in a single offseason.

On top of that though - and perhaps more important - you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Not everybody sucks.

(mind you, I do think this last move successfully rid us of one who did)

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
