He wasn't the best GM when it came to interacting with players.

I never liked how he handled the end of Steve Smith's career in Carolina.

Should have been fired after not fixing the revolving door at IT which was exposed in the Superbowl loss

Should have fired Ron Rivera for leaving Cam in the game after he had a concussion against the Broncos

Should have been fired before they let Buffalo hire away Carolina's assistant GM.

This soon to camp means they had a pretty heated argument about something. Probably disagreed on direction of team.

Weird timing with camp opening in a couple weeks.

Probably didn't want to extend Olsen and TD.

Didn't end well with Deangelo Williams, either. Or Josh Norman.

Just heard this - surprised at the timing but not surprised at the decision.

Yes, it's obvious DeAngelo, Norman, and smitty were worth holding onto

Glad the Bills got Brandon Beane from them when they did.

Because he sucked arse. Failed to address the most obvious needs of the team the entire time he was there.

I'd be upset about this firing if I was a saints fan, too....
