With the number of GM's fired after the season, I would not expect quick decisions.

The guys that are sought after are very likely to want to leverage teams against each other and look at all of their options.

Unless you overpay, don't expect quick announcements.

Ugh lol maybe I'm just being optimistic. I want to know something lol

You're not being optimistic, you're being unrealistic.

Even if they know exactly who they want to be the GM it will take some time at least to do interviews and agree to a contract (assuming that person accepts the position - we can't just name someone GM without their consent).

Everyone hoping for a decision on Rivera before the GM is in place is in for a serious disappointment. It is extremely unlikely that we will hear a decision on the coaching staff before the GM is here and has had a chance to review Accorsi's recommendations with Richardson / perform their own abbreviated review.

We also have to remember that this organization is not media friendly. Teams around the league leak their candidates to the media or will openly talk about / hit at who they want (see: Cleveland). This one will go to great lengths to ensure the media doesn't have a damn clue what's going on. If you want a barometer watch Tom Sorensen. He seems to be the only one who ever gets any real info (he broke the story that Fox would not be retained before his last season even started).

I personally don't expect to hear anything on the GM until Friday and coaching decisions, at the earliest, Monday. If they are leaning towards keeping the existing coaching staff it could take even longer.

If you stood back a thought about it for a second you'd realize that no matter what the decisions in BoA were regarding our future, that 70-80% of the posters here are going to do nothing but piss and moan. I dont know why you are in such a hurry to bring that much discord and woe on us.

Everyone outside of us on this board says the same thing: That Richardson won't open his checkbook to really pay a big time coach. I didn't know that was the perception outside of Carolina until I started reading a lot around the net. That's why no one thinks we are a player for Kelly and why a lot of people think we'll hang onto Ron

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
