The Carolina Panthers have made a major move in their organization, parting ways with General Manager Scott Fitterer following a 2-15 season. This move comes as a surprise to many, as Fitterer had been with the team since 2017 and had been instrumental in the team’s success in the past.
Fitterer was hired by the Panthers in 2017 to help build the team into a contender. He was responsible for drafting several key players, including Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore, and Brian Burns. He also helped bring in several key free agents, including Teddy Bridgewater and Curtis Samuel.
Despite his efforts, the Panthers were unable to turn things around this season. The team finished 2-15 and missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. This led to the decision to part ways with Fitterer.
The Panthers have yet to name a replacement for Fitterer, but they have already begun their search for a new general manager. It is expected that the team will look for someone with a strong background in scouting and player evaluation.
It is unclear what the future holds for the Panthers, but it is clear that they are looking to make changes in order to improve their fortunes. It will be interesting to see who they bring in to replace Fitterer and how they plan to turn things around in 2021.
