If we break the Rooney Rule to hire Marty Hurney, I hereby revoke my Panthers fandom

Well unless "interim" means holding the door open on Mint St. for the next guy to walk through, it's too damn long. 

They should have just named him a consultant or something. 

Firing a guy, hiring his replacement, then firing his replacement after four years right before camp and then bringing the first guy back reeks of desperation, incompetence, and lack of any discernible identity or direction. 

Our franchise is legit more of a laughing stock than the Browns or Raiders even at their most dysfunctional. 

Actually what it tells me is that Gettleman really screwed up or gave JR an ultimatum and engaged in a power struggle. Otherwise the time to fire him was months ago. This came up suddenly and was forced on JR by Gettleman and he must have felt he had no other option. JR has never fired a coach or GM in the summer or Fall that I can remember. Can you?

They're doing it to avoid the rooney rule. He'll be your full time GM after this season, prepare thy anus.

2 separate issues. You can hire an interim without the Rooney rule but before you hire a GM permanently you have to go by the Rooney rule. So the Panthers couldn't hire him without interviewing a minority candidate. Given our head coach and defensive coordinator are minorities, I doubt we are trying to get around anything.

He's been a damn Charlotte radio host since then. They might as well hire QCB, at least he would be Rooney Rule compliant.

The Rooney Rule doesn't apply to GMs.

But don't let that stop you from fleeing.

As I said previously. (Yes, it is me, the 100% real deal PanthersUnited, this shocking news was enough to be bring me back) this whole situation is inexcusable and unforgiveable. 

Firing Gettleman was inexcusable, replacing him with Hurney is unforgiveable and JR rubbing salt in the wound. 

 

This is akin to letting Cam Newton walk and re signing Jimmy Clausen to replace him

No joke, I pulled up a complete list of all 32 teams and deciding on a new team. I set rules and guidelines: No contenders (too easy), no NFC south team (obvious reasons) prefer a team similar mold to the Panthers; Up and coming, middle of the road team on the brink of breaking out, prefer no previous SB winners. 

 

Rams, Texans, Titans and Bengals so far are good candidates. Still have to weigh all the options.

So leave already.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
