CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The parting words of Carolina Panthers general Dave Gettleman at the end of Tuesday’s season-ending news conference are being proven prophetic.
“This is a damn good coaching staff," he said. “We went 17-2 last year. We didn’t get stupid overnight."
Gettleman had been questioned several times about any potential changes to the staff after the Panthers finished 6-10 and missed the playoffs a year after representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.
He made it clear that none were planned.
He also made it clear how good he considered the people under him.
