One day after Mark Richardson, son of Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, announced his resignations, the 73-year-old owner gave the job to Texas Christian University athletic director Danny Morrison, giving a major front office job to someone outside the family for the first time in a decade.
Morrison said he would begin his new job by the end of the month and take over the team’s day-to-day business operations while Richardson is recovering from a February heart transplant. The 55-year-old worked as AD at Richardson’s alma mater Wofford College, which was also site of Carolina’s training camp, before he went to TCU in 2005.
“We are very familiar with Danny and he is very familiar with our organization,” Richardson said in a statement. “He has been successful as a college administrator and commissioner and brings a business expertise and sense of community that fits the position perfectly.”
Richardson’s son Jon Richardson also resigned on the same day his brother Mark Richardson made the announcement. It was uncertain whether the two resigned because of a family rift.
