'When Sean McDermott left, the reaction was that fans, players and front-office personnel/fellow coaches were sorry to see him go, but knew he had earned the opportunity. There was a little bit more surprise around the departure of Brandon Beane, but similar reactions as Beane had worked his way up for a long time in Carolina and was handling a huge amount of work and responsibility for the team- the consensus to both was that they are two bright, talented up-and-comers in the league that Carolina was lucky to hold on to for as long as it did.'
