Jim Popp getting interest

[R0CKnR0LLA]

hahahaha oh god panthers

[carolina-chuck]

Where's John Idzik!!!! ;)

[rayzor]

Yasinskas won't shut up about any player/coach/FO guy who was here when he was. It's annoying.

yep.

he's devoid of sources outside the panthers world. that's why he knows nothing about any other options.

he is and always has been essentially useless.

Posted this in the GM candidates thread already.

He also goes on his beane binge again in the later paragraphs.

Pat mentions Beane on nearly every article. Its like a Fatal Attraction. Pat Y being Glen Close and Beane being Michael Douglas, he just cant go a article without mentioning him.

...and a few weeks from now "Although the top GM candidates have all been hired already, the Panthers still have their top 3 options available. Sources say Carolina has narrowed their GM search down to Brandon Beane, Jim Popp and internet poster PantherTrain84. Stay tuned for updates."

I can easily see Beane retained and groomed to become GM in the near future.

Hoe does anyone hate Beane already? He has been the GM for like 5 minutes.

I'm not gonna lie. "Popp magic!" has a nice ring to it.

I'd only favor that if it was the far, distant future.

Not in favor of putting a guy in charge of personnel evaluation when he's never even worked as a scout. Would much rather have someone who worked his way up through the scouting system ranks, and there are plenty of guys like that available. I'd prefer Beane stick to logistics.

As to Popp, not real high on that idea either. The CFL isn't the NFL. If he started with a lesser role and worked his way up, okay. Handing him the keys to the franchise with no NFL experience though? Uh uh :(

[Mr. Scot]

at least he has experience in the job.

Whereas Beane has about ten weeks more experience in player evaluation and roster management than...me :unsure:

I bet 90% of the people on this forum who work for a boss think the guy running things is an idiot and if you were boss you would do things differently.
