Now that we are past the holidays, I do agree that the Panthers general manager search will heat up. In fact, I think a decision will come pretty fast, meaning in a week or two at the most. Considering how many candidates they have already requested interviews, that timeline might seem unmanageable. Regardless I think Tepper will find his guy by the end of next week.
You may recall when Tepper cut Hurney loose it was characterized as ‘philosophical differences’. Basically Hurney is ‘old school’ and Tepper wants someone more open minded and willing to embrace the analytics approach to managing a sports team.
