CHARLOTTE, N.C. - New Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has a reputation for thinking outside the box, and his hire on Friday for team president fits the bill.
Tom Glick, the chief operating officer of the Manchester City Football Club of the Premier League, will step into his new role at Carolina on September 16.
Glick will be in charge of the day-to-day operations of the business side, filling a position that has been open since Danny Morrison resigned in February of 2017.
He has no experience on the NFL side, but he has served as chief marketing office of the NBA's then-New Jersey Jets, the senior vice president of sales and marketing for minor league baseball's Sacramento Rivercats and general manager of minor league baseball's Lansing Lugnuts.
