So let's say Ross gets the GM job...

Can you convince me why Ross would hire Chip Kelly - someone with whom he has no experience who also has no pro experience and who is rumored to want personnel control that Ross, as the GM, would want for himself - over Perry Fewell, someone with whom he's actually worked at two different stops (both were with the Bills in 2006) and who's not expected to have any desire to interfere with the personnel department?

Why would he choose giving Kelly his first shot at the NFL over giving Fewell his first shot at being a head coach?

Follow up question: If you knew Ross wouldn't hire Kelly, would you want a different choice for GM?

If you know the Panthers, then you know that giving a coach front office control hasn't worked well. Jerry Richardson is a man who learns from his mistakes, and it seems near-impossible that the first-time NFL coach like Chip Kelly would be given the keys to the castle. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Jim Harbaugh wanted this same control in San Francisco, but an agreement to have the head coach and GM Trent Baalke share personnel responsibilities was enough to sway him to join the 49ers.

This it the give-and-take in the modern NFL -- get a strong-willed GM to run the show, possibly missing out on an elite head coach who wants control, or turn the keys over to a coach and hope they have an eye for talent. A collaboration between Chip Kelly and a first-time general manager like Marc Ross could have a dynastic effect on the Carolina Panthers organization; the perfect blend of mad-capped creativity on both the offensive, and scouting side.

The GM should hire whomever he thinks is the best choice. He should draft whomever he thinks is the best prospect. BUT, he should be held accountable for his choices.

What kind of HC doesn't want to interfere with the personnel department?

The GM and the HC should work very closely together. It should be a symbiotic relationship - the GM is trying to draft players that fit the systems the HC is running after all.

This is why I think Rivera's gone. What GM wants to work with the last guy's HC choice? Especially one that has failed.

      they bought an OL for the prized undersized with the savings   Couldnt even put it back into the defense. But he probably wouldn’t be leading the league in sacks if we had kept him.

      "missed opportunity" at hiring a real NFL HC.. Hes one of the few young coaching members that has modern NFL figured out. I even think he could be GM, but think he does want too. I know he was beyond pissed when the Titans GM traded AJ brown for draft pick(2nd???). He's knows ball and can relate. He's knows what a good NFL looks like and how they act/practice. Dave is still figuring out many things and Evero handles 100% of the D side.....Vrabel does all three....

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      Dave Canales just feels like a guy marking time. He’s not a “bust your ass and chase perfection” Landry type, and he’s not a “you’re a good man, now let’s find your best self” Rivera type either. He doesn’t inspire greatness, but he doesn’t tolerate outright laziness either. He’s basically football’s version of middle management, competent, steady, and fine at keeping things from collapsing, but not the kind of leader who changes a culture or puts a team on his back. You get the sense ownership hired him to keep the lights on while they figure out what’s next. In short, he’s not the problem… but he’s never going to be the solution either.
