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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

      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?

    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.

      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

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

    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.

    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.

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