Yep. It's Happening: "#Panthers owner Jerry Richardson and Marty Hurney meeting today, league source said. Expected to be named interim GM."

If he really is interim GM I wouldn't be surprised if half the staff in the building quits. 

This is absolute unequivocally moronic bullshit. I've been a panthers fan before they even stepped on the field. This neglacence of the two most important things, winning and money is an utterly disgusting travesty. 

quit? they can lounge around doing no work while simultaneously demanding huge raises

[j2sgam]

Please, please, please do not trade anymore 1st round picks away.....

 

 

Not that its realistic, but neither have the past 2 days been.....

Real talk get the fug outta here

Dear Hurney,

Welcome back. Avoid insane contracts. Pay the market value or let them go. Work your magic in the 1st round, but the let your scouts handle it from there. You're a much better people person that ol' pot belly, so use that to your advantage. You've drafted a lot of superstars for this team, and we desperately need more.

Signed,

Random Panthers fan.

Does this mean we're bringing back Everette Brown too?

Still better than DG, but hopefully this is temporary because we need to do better than Hurney.

I honestly have no idea why you think he's better than DG. I really don't. Hurney screwed the team up something fierce before he was booted. Gettleman was a douche but he fixed Hurney's mistakes and set the team up to be in a position for long term success based on roster talent and finances. The core of Cam and Luke were drafted by Hurney, sure, but he couldn't do anything well but draft first round picks and that is only one very small area of being a GM.

It's not often an owner inadvertently drives a wedge between his players, coaches and front office. Watch and see.

Come back and tell me that when we are back in cap hell, half our players are gone and our record is piss poor. 

Re read what I posted...I'm agreeing with you.

 

JR has no impetus to change at all.  He tried that (DG) and obviously didn't like it.  He wants his players to be his sons, ride with him on the golf cart, and tell the local media how much of an honor it is to work for an owner that was a player.

I bagged on JR forever for keeping Hurney about 5 years too long, I bagged on him about the lockout, keeping Fox a year too long, for staying so crazy attached to the defensive side of the ball, etc....but this takes the cake for me.  I have fully turned the corner on trusting him to run a successful NFL franchise...at least in this day and age.
