Monday morning the Carolina Panthers announced that they have parted ways with general manager Scott Fitterer.
“As we move forward with the new direction for our franchise, I have made the decision that Scott Fitterer will no longer serve as our general manager,” Panthers owner David Tepper said in a statement. “I appreciate Scott’s efforts and wish the best for him and his family.”
Here’s how Panthers fans reacted to the news on social media:
YEAAHHHHH! Scott up outta dere!

I don’t think Fitterer did much to applaud in Carolina, but it’s impossible to ignore the fact that his tenure was mostly spent trying to facilitate the whims of Rhule and/or Tepper. Others might have executed things better, but the lack of coherent vision still needs addressing.

The right decision. It’s hard to know which decisions were on Fitterer but he had plenty of shortcomings in the draft, free agency, and via trades that provided enough evidence that he wasn’t the man for the job moving forward. Clean slate. https://t.co/TdaHm5ujox
