“That’s awesome news,” Hangartner said. “I’m excited about it. I think Ron has done a great job and I think he will be the first to admit he’s learned a lot since he was hired. He definitely has the respect of the guys in the locker room because he’s played the game and he treats guys the right way.”
Richardson is expected to turn his attention to filling the GM spot and interviews will come in the next week.
Richardson hired former New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi to serve as a consultant for the GM search and the team has already received permission to interview two members of the New York Giants staff _ college scouting director Marc Ross and senior pro personnel analyst Dave Gettleman.
Others potential candidates include Green Bay Packers director of player personnel John Dorsey, Tennessee Titans vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson and Minnesota Vikings assistant GM George Paton.
Panthers interim general manager Brandon Beane is also expected to receive consideration for the position.
