We don’t pretend that we’re the only people writing quality content about the Carolina Panthers, we just pretend to be the best. Today, it’s the Dave Gettleman Edition of Outside The Riot.
- Panthers.com’s Bill Voth has some theories on what exactly happened behind the scenes between Jerry Richardson and Dave Gettleman. Read carefully, Bill knows what he’s talking about.
- Will Brinson of CBS Sports on where Gettleman may have gone wrong with Richardson.
- Scott Fowler with the valid opinion that Panthers fans deserve more of an explanation for the firing.
- It wouldn’t be the offseason without a picture-filled timeline of Gettleman’s time with the Panthers (via The Charlotte Observer)

- Sports Illustrated’s Jonathan Jones has a negative review of the Gettleman firing. A great read.
- David Newton lists some possible replacements (although we think Marty Hurney for a year is the correct choice).
- The r/panthers Dave Gettleman Mega Thread. If it’s not here, it’s there.
- ESPN’s Kevin Seifert on why the timing of this personnel move matters less than you might think.
- The Charlotte Observer’s Joe Person (who has been doing a terrific job the past few months) says that if you really want to know why Gettleman was fired, look to what happens with Olsen and Davis in the next few weeks. He’s right.
