If he wasn't otherwise busy, wouldn't surprise me for Dan Rooney to get a call on this. Not sure he'd be the best idea though (way up in age and has been away from day-to-day football for a while).

I'm sure Jerry is already working the phones with other owners he respects. Probably not restricted to Rooney.

An owner wouldn't technically be the right guy to take the consultant job but they could definitely recommend someone who'd make a good consultant (guessing that may be what you meant but wasn't sure).

If I recall correctly, Richardson is on good terms with the Mara family as well.

Yes, that's what I meant, and Mara was also the guy I thought about. JR is reportedly close to the Rooney's, Mara, and god help us, Jerry Jones. Hopefully he calls the first two and skips Jerry.

The consultant thing is something that would be nearly anathema to Jones. Definitely wouldn't call him for advice about it.

Given how he usually works, he'd likely nominate himself or one of his kids.

Wow. I don't remember anything ever happening like this within the Panthers organization, It looks like JR is finally admitting that he doesn't know how to build a winning team, and letting guys with better resumes take over that role.

I was really worried that JR might promote some random "yes man" within the organization and continue the same philosophy. It really looks like he's completely stepped back from football operations and is trying to find the best professional to take over in that role. This is bigger news than Hurney getting fired. How you go about finding a replacement is more important than just firing the last guy. Wow, I am really stoked about this.

I think at this point that with his latest health scare and getting up there in age, he is going to try to at least get this thing turned around before its too late. Also, if you noticed during the lockout, Jerry is up there in NFL circles. Only a few owners were at the table and he was leading them. I think he wants his organization to reflect that and he needed help to acheive that change.

      We were bad for years before Bryce Young and it wasn’t like this. I didn’t like the Rhule hire, but I didn’t drag the board down every chance I got. I didn’t like letting Cam go and bringing in Teddy, but I didn’t make it my mission in life to make sure everybody who disagreed with me was berated into submission.

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports team in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed ( I still content people falsely romanticize the old days).  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.  if you are the most unsuccessful professional sports teams (Tepper's Panthers are that).....and a place like this isn't filled with very critical thoughts? Well, you probably don't actually have a real fanbase IMO.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.
