But after he took over the Panthers in 2013, he didn’t hire anyone. Because he didn’t have any openings. Because he didn’t create any.

    What You Learn About Being a Dad When You Grow Up Without One
    Ten years ago, Friday the Thirteenth proved to be the most extraordinary day of my life. Two days after Christmas in 2005, I set out to answer a seemingly simple question: Who was my father?
