Marty Hurney might be rehired as interim GM

[Ja Rhule]

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport believes ex-Panthers GM Marty Hurney could replace Dave Gettleman on an interim basis.

The Charlotte Observer's Joseph Person first floated the idea on Twitter, and Rapoport weighed in saying it's "definitely a consideration." If true, it's a ludicrous consideration. Hurney left the Panthers in salary cap hell, tying one hand behind Gettleman's back. Hurney's October 2012 firing was richly deserved. (Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams disagree.) Owner Jerry Richardson would be taking a time machine back to an era of football he needs to forget.

God I hope this is true if only for the shitposting potential.

Is JR the owner equivalent to Trump? 

 

Minus the abrasivness

If it happens, then I'll have to spend my Sunday's doing other things and come back when JR dies.

ian rappaport supporting a joe person idea.  we just need david newton to chime in with a "yup" and this rumor is all but squashed.

Jerry Richardson doesn't even bath himself without a nurse. What makes y'all think he has a clue about the NFL in 2017.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

JR is looking for a yes man to replace Gettleman, so why not hire the best in the business?

[AggieLean]

It ain't gonna happen..

So we bring back the last guy we sent packing......nah.

Although 2 months ago everything was great in panther land so i have no idea wtf is going on.

After this year at least. This year's team is still DG's and will be unless Hurney comes in cutting/trading players left and right, which is unlikely. But pretty likely we'd have TD and Olsen taking up 15% of the cap over the next 5 years and Trai, Norwell, Star all gone.

Hopefully he comes back and inks Peppers to that 96 million once and for all.

And when we win are y'all going to give the credit to Gettleman or Hurney? Lol

JR channeling his inner Steinbrenner.
