Rivera is safe per Yahoo.com

The older I get the more I realize what a jackass Jerry Richardson is.

[Mr. Scot]

Cole source, who has always been a Panther hater BTW, is Pat Yasinskas

Which we all know is BS.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

[BIGH2001]

Yeah right. Youll be back here just like the rest of us next season.

Seriously if Beane is the GM fans will depart in droves and I'll be among them. I refuse to support a team that is content to simply take my money and pile up losing seasons.

[SmittyistheGOAT]

a bean/rivera combo will sure get the butts in the seats

[CarolinaVeins]

I actually think Jerry Richardson has changed his way of thinking some. Cam Newton was brought in who I want it but was still a lil shocked they got him. Then he fired Marty. He is growing impatient just like the rest of us so I really do see him getting a new coach here

[JefDav84]

I just do not see this happening. There is no way we brought in an outside source to search for a new GM, and then end up keeping the interim guy. This just makes no sense to me.

[Mr. Scot]

If I want somebody with experience in handling logistics, managing equipment and making travel arrangements as my GM, then absolutely Beane is the guy.

I put zero stock in the notion that Ernie Accorsi would be on board with passing over guys who have 15-20 years of experience in personnel evaluation for a guy who never even worked as a scout.

I also don't buy the notion that Jerry Richardson hired Ernie Accorsi to do the GM search for him just to turn around and toss aside his recommendations.

I hear this a lot.

Even the douchebags on the radio said this. What if the consultant weighed the options and presented Beane as the best option considering all circumstances. Does hiring a consultant automatically discount in house personnel as options? I never thought so.

[unicar15]

If we keep beane then this franchise is screwed. It basically means JR wants a yes man.

[frash.exe]

lol if beane somehow ends up the gm i've got to stop telling people i root for this team

Beane has zero experience in personnel evaluation. None. Ditto salary cap management.

He was a logistics guy before this title came up, and even now Rivera has final say on personnel decisions, not Beane. Add in that he's only 36 years old, three years younger than the youngest candidate available (Marc Ross) and with nowhere near the actual "football' experience.

Up till a few weeks ago, Beane worked on operations budgets, overseeing equipment management, helping with travel arrangements and assisting with interdepartmental communication. Essentially, he's a glorified administrative assistant.

You gonna take that guy and put him in charge of your entire draft and building your roster?

Go take a look at the resumes' of the guys listed in the GM candidates thread. Then tell me again why you think a guy with loads of experience in running a team like Ernie Accorsi has would choose that guy over the other guys listed.

The whole notion is an utter joke.

[carolinarolls]

sounds like a joke when you put it that way. Also it sounds like if they choose this guy, based on all the damning evidence you have presented against him, he must really have something special.

I mean to overcome all that. This must be some kind of wonderkid.

You have made him out to be something that is barely employable at all and yet not only is he interim GM he is rumored to be considered as the one to be named.

BIG DISCONNECT

you call it experience, some call it "the old way"

But but I just don't understand how hiring someone for a position he has never had is a bad idea!

Oh he isn't qualified and has never done any of the assigned duties of said assignment? Just give the guy a chance guys comon...what could go wrong?

I got a grand idea... lets put the Oline coach as DC!!! oh that already failed in Philly? well poo and here I was thinking that doing dumb ass poo when much better options are available was the way to go.

[carolina-chuck]

Typical JR move.

Beane as GM and Rivera retained.
