Rotoworld notes that Beane would have been the likely in-house replacement. Almost wonder if we could bring in Gettleman as an assistant role.

Re: Panthers fire GM
Likely explanation is here:
The Panthers are in the midst of a number of contract negotiations with beloved veterans (Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen) and Gettleman drew notorious hard lines with beloved veterans such as Jordan Gross and Steve Smith in the past. That might not have suited Richardson, who takes pride in his relationships with long-time players.
You would have thought that the KC and Carolina GMs were on pretty solid footing.

Re: Panthers fire GM
Living in Charlotte I can say lots of Panther fans upset that Beane not around as he was the 'next man up' prior to Beane leaving for Buffalo. Many felt Panthers GM is his dream position. Heard Joe Schoen is a potential candidate for GM but speculation at this point.

Re: Panthers fire GM
If I were Brandon, I'd have second thoughts about his decision to come to Buffalo right now.
On the other hand, if the Panthers really wanted him, they should have fired their GM before they let Beanie walk.
I don't get it.

I don't get it.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Re: Panthers fire GM
Former Panthers linebacker Jon Beason told WFNZ in Charlotte that Gettleman once made a strong accusation about Beason about Beason’s inability to practice and play with a bad knee.
“For him not to know me and say, ‘Hey, listen, you’re faking this injury.’ Those are harsh words,” Beason said. “Verbatim. ‘C’mon, Jon. You know nothing’s wrong with your knee.'”
Beason was recovering from microfracture surgery, a difficult procedure that in many cases is a coin-flip proposition as to whether the player will ever be the same.
“Obviously, I didn’t like that he was challenging my character, my integrity,” Beason said. “Especially since I love to play football.”
It’s surprising more of these anecdotes didn’t emerge before Gettleman was fired. Yes, there had been rumblings about Gettleman’s bedside manner, but nothing to suggest the open season that has been declared since the moment Gettleman got his pink slip.
