What will Gettleman tell JR?

Last year around this time, the Panthers were cancelling any plans they had for making the playoffs and JR asked Marty Hurney why we were losing.  It was reported that Hurney's answer was "I don't know", and that those three words pretty much cost him his job.

 

I imagine this week JR will ask Gettleman the same thing.  What's he going to hear?

Time to do it the Gettletrain way.

 

I think its one last overhaul..  but lets see what Gettleman can do with his own poo in place.

 

 

 

 

 

Hurney's stink is still very much present and its time to clean up his stink. not just cover it up with De-0. Oven cleaner.

He tells him, "This team will underperform as long as the current staff stays in place". 

 

I don't trust Jerry to do the right thing. All we can hope for is Gettleman does, in fact, know what he is doing and knows how to build a winner, and that Jerry will give him the authority to do it. I'm not yet sure that either one of these expectations will hold true.

As a fan of the game, he should..But he wont. He is getting paid good to do whatever his job is. Just like your current job, if you got a huge promotion and had more money than ever before, you would do whatever was asked/expected. If your boss still wanted to run the show and have his way, you wouldnt care since you were bank rolling. That is just the business of the game.

I'll say this about Gettlemen, the free agents he brought in on the cheap have done pretty well.   Ginn, Cole, Mitchell, and Blackburn have all been pivotal.  Granted some didn't pan out but that's expected.

 

He has a good eye for talent and there actually seems to be a long term plan in place.  Hopefully we will begin to see that unfold.

 

But to answer the question I'd imagine he'd pop in a cigar and say, "it's all part of the plan."

    • Anybody got a clue what this is supposed to mean? 🤔
    • I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.
    • I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
