"I think he's going to be a great leader for the Panthers because of the way he works with people," Morgan said. "He knows how to communicate, how to delegate authority, and how to treat people with respect through the organization.
"He's just a guy who doesn't ever get too high or too low, and he's able to stay where you need a GM to be. He's able to think things through, and stay steady through it all."
The professional respect is clear, but it's hard for Morgan to draw the line between his friend and his former co-worker.
Fitterer's a guy who helped teach him the scouting business, but he's also the guy he travels with in the offseason, building the kind of relationship that develops as you pack the cars and hit the road together.
Just before he moved to Buffalo in 2018, Morgan and his family went to the Oregon coast with Fitterer and his family, just a couple of dads on vacation with the wives and kids, shooting off Fourth of July fireworks and having a great time.
"He's just a cool dude," Morgan said. "You guys are going to love him. And, he's going to do a great job."
