Carolina Panthers fans absolutely loved Dan Morgan as a player. But what about as a behind-the-scenes guy?
On Monday, the organization announced they have promoted the former linebacker to the team’s president of football operations and general manager positions. Morgan now takes the lead on the front office after a three-year run as the assistant general manager.
So, how are the fans feeling now?
Here are some of their reactions to the big news:
Welp there it is. Dan Morgan is the GM. Maybe HC news soon?
I’d like to say for the record, that the @Panthers New GM has 18 tackles in the Super Bowl. An NFL record. That’s more than any GM in NFL history. #KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/ZCD10PjYYL

GMs are normally given a long leash so wasting energy complaining about this move is futile imo. Should all now start rooting for a former player to succeed and bring us out the mud were in. Good luck Dan, you will need it haha. https://t.co/GnDVax4ZYt

I’d normally be all over them hiring someone who knows the team and culture. But they needed to blow everything up this year

They still can get the coach hire right.
My feelings on the Dan Morgan hire can flip if he hires the right coach for this team.

Dan Morgan can change my mind by drafting quality Day 2-3 rookies who stay on the team after 3 seasons.

Not thrilled but I certainly hope Dan can turn this thing around. He’s got his work cut out for him.
