From Tina Becker?

Source in the building.  Probably Hurney.

Don't see how they can do that.  Any potential owner would want to have a say in those contracts.  Wouldn't be surprised if the minority owners block it.  

Unless minority owners approve ;)

Who else would want stability?

Richardson could get a new deal with the stadium in place before he sells the team.  Get another 10 years and that would almost guarantee that the new owner would be from the local area.

Rivera, as much as I dislike his loyalty to Shula, deserves an extension.  If we walked away from Rivera after his contract is up.  He will be snatched up quite quickly.   

Knowing our luck he would hire a young and imaginative offensive coordinator..

How will Hurney perform without being told to extend certain people at all costs?

This is an interesting question...I’ve always disliked Hurney but one has to consider the meddling owner is now gone and Hurney can make more balanced, business decisions.

What does this have to do with the cap?

 

If you can’t figure that out I don’t know if anyone can explain it to you.

 

Glad to have Rivera back. He is a good coach and a defensive mastermind. Would love to make some offensive changes though.

This is exciting, I might even smile...who am I kidding...I'm staying in stoic face.

Great news! I like our coach and we do need stability during this “transition”

That's what makes me think the deal is already done and the new ownership group wants to move forward with Rivera for the time being.

Good point. Richardson can sell to whoever he wants too.

The Bears would most likely jump right on Rivera before he hits the door leaving Panthers as HC.

Why would the news of new ownership be hidden from us fans like that and or the football world unless it will be unveiled after season like it was supposed to happen with sale of team and all to surprise us all with it.

Extending one of the top 10 coaches in the league is a no brainer.  But extending Hurney is just going to put this team into a huge mess.  Ugh.

Lets just hope that when the "changing of the guard" takes place Hurney will not be here.

I’d prefer neither but definitely Ron to Hurney. I just hope we don’t try to lure Beane back. He seems like the classic JR yes man who had no business being in the position he was. We’ve already fleeced him in a trade for a player he should have known was more of a headache than an asset. What a moron.

Which begs the interesting question. Was Hurney making decisions and transactions to match Jerry's wants, or was he really just a bad GM? Guess we'll soon find out.
