Tcu Ad Named Carlina Panthers President

bdan2002 · September 2, 2009

The Carolina Panthers have named Danny Morrison as team president, a day after Mark and Jon Richardson resigned from their executive posts with the team.

Morrison, who spent the past four years as director of athletics for Texas Christian University, has deep ties to the organization. He previously worked at Wofford College, the alma mater of Panthers owner Jerry Richardson and the site of the team's training camp for the first 15 years of its existence.

"We are very familiar with Danny and he is very familiar with our organization," Jerry Richardson said in a statement issued by the team. "He has been successful as a college administrator and commissioner and brings a business expertise and sense of community that fits the position perfectly."

The move comes after Mark and Jon Richardson, the owner's only sons, resigned from their posts as team and stadium presidents. The team has not given any reason for the departures, although the Richardson sons will remain part of the team's ownership group.

The team said Morrison's role will include business operations, Bank of America Stadium business interests and representing the team in league matters. Morrison will start his new role in about a month, the team said.

"We have been blessed to be part of the TCU and Fort Worth communities for the last four years. I have had a wonderful experience working at Texas Christian with Chancellor Boschini and the entire staff at the university. Leaving is not easy, but working with Jerry Richardson and the Carolina Panthers is a tremendous opportunity," Morrison said. "I am thrilled to be joining an organization I have followed closely since its inception. Meeting the high standards that Mr. Richardson sets is a challenge I embrace."

Dear UT Arlington-

Abilene Christian would have been a better choice here.

Geography vs. "Christian" similarity... I thought it was a toss-up.

Hell, why not send them both a letter? Just to cover all the bases.

Wonder what the percentage is of "in" vs. "out" on this joke?

In a heartbeat--wouldn't you in his position? He's a known commodity @ TCU having worked there under Steve Sullivan.

The resume is not the issue. It's the other documents that prove to be the most difficult.

I for one hope RV is in no way interested. He has "work to do" yet here at UNT with the stadium and the "re-building" of a winning football program...both on the way to completion. So, I sure hope he doesn't want to even consider the move. Should he for the sake of his career and family, etc.? good question...is it really the "step up" that he could make once the new stadium is built, the fan base has grown, the contribution levels have increased and the football team, basketball teams, etc., etc. are winning? And, not to mention that baseball team is going that so many of you folks on this board seem to want UNT to field. Finish all that and the Big XII, SE, PAC 10, etc. conferences just might come calling. If RV leaves, i want him to leave for the recognized "Big Time"...that would be a plus for UNT. Just not sure TCU is there for the long-haul as a "bigger time" program...remember when SMU thought they were "big time"????
