Panthers' coaching search keys on aiding Young
www.espn.com
The expectation across the NFL is that the Panthers will look to hire an offensive-minded head coach, someone who can help quarterback Bryce Young fulfill the potential that Carolina saw when it made him the No. 1 overall pick.

    Fitterer is just a puppet. A yes man. He does exactly what he’s told by Tepper. He has no original ideas and is only a figurehead to make it seem like Tepper isn’t the actual GM, which he is. Tepper isn’t going to fire Fitterer because he’s doing what he’s told, which is really all Tepper wants.

    It also remains uncertain who will help guide Tepper. The Panthers haven’t given general manager Scott Fitterer any assurances that he will be retained, league sources said, though Carolina has intimated to some around the NFL that it would like to keep Fitterer. Even so, league sources believe Fitterer’s future remains up in the air.

    The headline is completely obvious since we’re 1 year removed from doing the exact same search. But this quote is the more interesting story.

    It’s also completely frustrating. It’s ridiculous that we would consider keeping Fitterer at this point. Even if Tepper wants to hand wave the Rhule years because Rhule had final say of the roster, Fitterer’s first year without Rhule has been an unmitigated disaster. Stripped the offense before drafting a QB, signed a weak FA class, and already got to be a part of the process to hire a HC who got fired 11 games in. The dude gets bodied in almost every trade deal and his draft classes are a big swing and miss.
