Are you kidding me..

"The Panther Way" in it's current form is what we desperately need to get away from.

We've been sucking ass under that ideology for long enough, go be a Browns fan if you want that poo.

Its not that people want it. It's what people see our awesome owner doing.

I wouldn't bet on it.

If we were just going to keep doing everything the same as always, Ernie Accorsi never would have been hired.

Add in that Danny Morrison has some influence with Richardson. I doubt he'd just stand by while an expensive consultant was ignored.

Also worth considering that if Beane were going to get the job, they'd just do it right now. The fact that they aren't tells me they won't.

Gettleman would be my choice, but if I were betting, it'd be on Ross.

It isn't impossible and I have been critical of JR on different things, but I can't see him being that dumb.

Yasinkas is throwing sh*t against the wall, if you want to believe him by all means go ahead.

As Mr. Scot pointed out, if Beane is the choice why wait? Why waste time and resources hiring Acorsi?

I hear ya red and I'd prefer a Gamble/Seely type combo personally. I'm just saying never underestimate bad decision making haha

Does anyone know what Beane did prior to being the interim? Does he have contract negotion experience, scouting experience, cutting players, addimg players? I would be highly disappointed if Beane was it

He has no prior experience in any of that.

That's a big reason why nobody takes the idea seriously.

The Charlotte Observer's article made it sound like that Beane had been helping out Marty with pretty much everything and was expecting to get the GM job when Marty retired.

Beane, the team’s director of football operations, had been Hurney’s right-hand man for several years.

“My goal would have been for us to win the Super Bowl and at some point Marty retire. But in life things rarely work out as planned,” Beane said Friday. “For all Marty’s done for me, this is not the way I would have liked the responsibility. But at the same time, you have to come in here and make the most of it.”

For him (Beane) to say that in an interview that was being published, I'd say that was the original plan. There's no telling if Beane really does or doesn't have experience handling those roles.

Like I said in another post I don't expect it to happen, but I wouldn't be shocked by it though.

Read the Panthers.com article. It's more specific. He's essentially an administrative assistant.

Add in that when the guy who "taught you everything you know" gets fired for poor performance, it doesn't speak well for your chances.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah we had multiple chances to tie up the game or take the lead. We have made some significant strides as a team shooting threes but this group absolutely needs to get more aggressive in the paint in crunch time if they want to be a playoff team. For all the praise of the group and Charles Lee being talked up as coach of the year that's just pitiful and unacceptable. Also adding even more insult to the loss. Apparently Embid is 21-1 against the Hornets.

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I read that they don't like arms under 34", but I do not know.  I can say that I have followed OTs who were drafted and many get kicked inside.  Brady Christensen is one example. RTs seem to be more tolerant of shorter arms.  As much as it seems silly, there is a reason the short-armed prospects can't hack the outside.   For the 2026 NFL Draft, arm length is a critical talking point for offensive tackles, with 33 inches usually being the minimum threshold for teams. Notable top prospects include Monroe Freeling (34 3/4"), Blake Miller (34 1/4"), and Dametrious Crownover (35 3/8") having elite length, while Spencer Fano (32 1/8") is facing potential positional moves.  Top 2026 NFL Draft Tackle Arm Lengths (Combine Measurements) Monroe Freeling: 34 3/4" Blake Miller: 34 1/4" Dametrious Crownover: 35 3/8" Max Iheanachor: 33 7/8" Caleb Lomu: 33 3/8" Kadyn Proctor: 33 3/8" Francis Mauigoa: 33 1/4" Spencer Fano: 32 1/8" Markeel Bell: 36 3/8" Garrett DiGiorgio: 32 5/8" Trey Zuhn III: 32 1/2"  Key 2026 Measurements & Context The 33-inch Cutoff: Many teams consider 33 inches the minimum for NFL tackles, with sub-33 inch arms often leading to a move to guard. Spencer Fano's Case: Despite top-15 draft projections, Fano's 32 1/8" arms at the combine sparked debate about his long-term position, though he measured 32 7/8" at his pro day. High-Length Options: Markel Bell (36 3/8") is a standout for his length, while Dametrious Crownover (35 3/8") also boasts high-end measurements. Proctor's Perspective: Prospects like Kadyn Proctor acknowledge the talk but emphasize that elite film can overcome shorter measurements.  Olinemen I like late:  KY OT Farmer--has the arms but lacks the feet. will be a solid G imo. Parker II (Duke OT with sub 33 inch arms.  Smart with good feet--projects to center.  A smart, agile center is a nice thing. Zuhn III (Tex AM) is another T to C candidate. Of course, I think the Panthers will like traditional center Logan Jones (Iowa) because he is an experienced (50 starts) fit in a zone scheme.

      He's apparently told the school that he was interested, hence why they are waiting.
