Panthers fan here looking ahead at the inevitability of Scott Fitterer getting fired after his horrible tenure here.

I know it’s harder to evaluate guys in front offices and identify who the next GM’s will be, but what are the names to look out for.

Also, any of these GM’s have ties to an up and coming OC that can replace Frank Reich in 2024?

Adam Peters and Bobby Slowik are a combo I am intrigued by.

It’s only a matter of time before Mike Borgonzi gets poached to be a GM somewhere. He’s Veach’s right hand guy and an incredible talent scout. He’s gotta be in any conversation for new GM after this season (please God not the Raiders).

[–] a_guy_1377@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Are the Texans finally good enough to get coaches poached? Wow

[–] sprolestofoles@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

On a somewhat unrelated note, is there really any coaching candidates to get excited about besides Ben Johnson?

[–] Numerous_Resist_8863@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like no matter who it is, the owner is going to meddle.

Not ideal.

[–] Adenchiz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think this is the year Ravens Director of Player Personnel (former director of college scouting) Joe Hortiz leaves the team to be a GM somewhere

[–] jwktiger@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Give Veech a blank check to come to Carolina from KC

[–] Posluszny@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I was gonna suggest Adrian Wilson as I recall him being linked to the Jags GM job (if Leftwich became HC)

Googled him and noticed he's already on the Panthers staff, potential internal appointment?

[–] RealPropRandy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ve built super teams in Madden on the regular.

[–] 5StarGoldenGoose@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Eagles got like 15 gm ready candidates in the stable

[–] FreddyDontCare@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Steelers assistant GM Andy Weidl. He's been through the Ravens, Eagles and now his highest position with the Steelers. He's gonna be a GM some day it's just a matter of when.

[–] DionBae_Johnson@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This was my thought as well. He was a genius on the Eagles, Khan specifically wanted him, and so far he's looked great with us. Would love to see it in a year or two

[–] Natureboy7939@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

William belichick and Billy belichick might be available.

I’m going to be downvoted like crazy but someone has to start poaching the front office of the cowboys, they have been amazing on drafting and acquiring talent

[–] tarallelegram@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

can y'all let us win a superbowl first before poaching us again? :(

[–] hairysonorth@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

You can only have Adam peters if we find out he’s part black like McDaniel, we need more third rounders

[–] superbuttpiss@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No he can't.

[–] sprolestofoles@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I wonder what the cutoff is. Do you have to be at least 50% black/Asian/Hispanic etc.

[–] notmoleliza@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jed needs to bump Lynch up to president with a raise and make Peters the GM already

[–] fitzuha@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ian Cunningham seems like he’ll be a GM eventually. Who better to have than one of the guys that made the Bryce Young trade happen?

[–] j_thugger@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Slowik is a passionate racist, id stay away from him

[–] mab6710@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I could make myself available. Not to brag, but I'm on r/nfl like every day.

[–] mongster03_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Stop taking our staff

[–] Bulky-District-2757@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bobby Slowik will be busy, sorry.

[–] ATRDCI@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Stay away from Slowik, he needs more time to season and there are plenty more offense oriented coaches if you want to go that route. Though I think Mike MacDonald will be getting looks too. Reverse the New England-Detroit pipeline and lure Ben Johnson over with his pick of QB from this upcoming draft.

For front office, I'd look to see if you can poach anyone from the Ravens (or of course if there is someone that wants to come over with Ben)

[–] ND7020@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I feel like knowing how incompetent Tepper is he is overdue to try on a “Patriots way” cycle.

[–] DennisNedrysGhost@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Steve Keim.

[–] kamillionare@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Am I crazy or should Louis Riddick have been hired by someone already? His name is always brought up and he’s interviewed a couple of times. He seems like he’d be a solid GM somewhere

[–] MistakeMaker1234@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

As solid as Condoleezza Rice.

[–] CodyNorthrup@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It would take a lot to get Adam Peters out.

He has turned down numerous GM roles in the past because he has been around the 49ers most of his life and doesn’t want to move.

Obviously a perfect situation might tempt him, but he might be looking for a GM role here because Lynch could get the President position (which was just added as a title for him)

[–] Shauncore@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Need a subscription (worth it imo) but PFF just had a very long piece with dozens of GM candidates and the details about each of them

What’s your login, I’ll give it a go

[–] bugluvr65@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

adrian wilson could be nice

[–] atreyus_ghost@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm curious why any hot GM candidates would ever want to work for an owner who meddles as much as Tepper. I know there is only 32 GM jobs, so it isn't that the job will be hard to fill. What motivation would there be for a guy like Peters, who could basically have any open GM job he wanted ( and by all accounts doesn't want to leave the bay area), to go work for an idiot like Tepper?

[–] TheMrSomeGuy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That's my exaxt thought. Tepper is a non-stop meddler whose impatience has been the defining trait of our current never-ending rebuild. If you had other options, why choose this one?

[–] Shade_Raven@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Alec Halaby?

[–] Lamb4u@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Found David teppers account

[–] croissant_titty@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ray Agnew is lowkey my prediction

[–] Caniac_420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Tepper is 1000% keeping him long enough for him to make one more horrible trade or signing

[–] Toolazytolink@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Peter's could have been a GM a long time ago, but he chose to stay with the 49ers. Our fanbase is constantly asking to promote Lynch as president and Peter's as GM so we won't lose him. They don't remember the interview of Peter's and his family loves the bay and doesn't want to uproot them.

[–] lytrendsa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Take Dorsey you cowards

[–] penis_showing_game@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

While things can certainly change, it seems like Peters is content where he is being that he turned down GM interviews this past offseason. And with Lynch’s promotion, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Peters get promoted to GM this off-season.

I think Slowik is in similar situation where if he wants to be a HC it’s likely some team will give him a shot. He’s a Shannahan disciple and with Stroud’s immediate success there’s going to be a lot of interest in him.

[–] LunchThreatener@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ray Agnew Lions AGM will likely get interviews this year

[–] MugiwaraJinbe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You do not want Slowik, idk why his name keeps getting brought up. Maybe with like 5 more years to bake he can be good.

[–] suggestedusername519@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Our COO Mike Disner is going to be getting GM interviews sooner rather than later. He’s been Brad Holmes’ understudy for a few years now

[–] Mavori@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

How about we keep him though.

[–] PeaberryCoffee@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If I owned the Panthers, I'd hire Rick Spielman.

[–] Zoomun@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Adam Peters is not leaving. If he was going to he would have by now. He gets offers every single year and never takes them. He doesn't want to leave the bay.

[–] TheGrat1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pretty cool to see David Tepper crowdsourcing his GM search on Reddit. Hi Dave!

[–] GreenvilleLocal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nicole Tepper is the one in charge of

[–] OneFingerIn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Glenn Cook of the Browns is likely to be a GM soon. He'd be a good pick.
