Gettleman hired as Panthers GM

[carolina-chuck]

I can't wait to see Gettleman out there at the combine, Draft nights, and out there wearing shorts on golf cart in Spartanburg.

Keep in mind the Panthers don't necessarily list everyone (scouts, for example, are nowhere to be found).

Wow that is a big difference.

Fashion aside, read his quotes and you'll find he's definitely a fan of Newton.

Oh yeah I have read them. I know he does. It was just my weak attempt at a joke. Everyone knows I'm not good at being funny

This is great news. Welcome Gettleman!

[CarolinaCoolin]

He's being spoken in such high regards from his old job it's refreshing to have gotten such a good gm hire. If he does bring his cap guy things are looking up. Hopefully no more doom and gloom posts. Excited

The most interesting man in the world

[Clicheking]

I all for the hire. If he can bring Hakeem Nicks back home I'd be even happier

[jgraham]

I know nothing about him (obviously!) but the reaction on this thead tells me all I needed and wanted to know! I've noticed in tgeh past week or so that this forum has a few negative posters - and I should imagine they've got good reason to be that way. But the unanimous opinion on this is that the team has made a top decision by bringing him in.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the team is moulded to fit in with his plans and it will hopefully make the 30 odd weeks to teh start of next season that little bit more interesting!

Hopefully he will get that Chargers stench outta here.

Finally we pilfered a piece of a winning franchise to help choose our personel. It's about damn time.

Are we holding a press conference at any point?

i think they aren't even formally introducing him until next week.

probably a lot more important stuff to do.

[Mr. Scot]

Heck, even Bill Polian is saying this was a good hire.

Polian's having a good week as his front office tree just grew with Gettleman and Telesco getting jobs.

Yeah, and they may also be waiting on a couple more front office hires that Gettleman brings in.
