Do you not realize how ridiculous you are coming across right now? Firing DG was stupid but JR did so for whatever reason. Hurney actually made sense as an interim before a full on GM search after the year. The team getting put up for sale changed things though and if Hurney stays it's only for the reason that we need a GM and who else would take the job with new ownership coming in? This isn't about Hurney at all.

No, it's all about Hurney.  Don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise.  Hurney is not the answer for anything other than being JRs bitch.

Of course he did.  Why else keep the guy around. I'd be willing to be he signed a confidentiality agreement too keep his mouth shut also.

I think that's the kind of thing that really ought to be investigated.

Don't expect any of the local journalists would do it except maybe Jourdan Rodrigue (heck, might be worth asking her about).

But it's more likely the only real chance of anyone asking these questions will be the NFL once they get their investigation going.

If Richardson wants to set Marty up, just give him some of that Bojangles money. 

I am so grateful we'll have a new owner soon to toss hurney out once and for all

Some tough questions should be asked for sure.  This smells of a cover-up from the top down.

Assuming we don't get someone who agrees to follow Richardson's wishes and keep him.

That could happen.

I would not count on that at this point.  Until the new owner is announced and it turns out to be none of the current owners then I might have hope that true changes will take place.  Until then, it's just business as usual.

Felix Sabates cares more about parking than winning. New owner =\= better owner.

It is absolutely shitting on the spirit of the Rooney rule. Teams are supposed to honestly consider minority candidates for their positions. The Panthers will not do that.

Except for the head coach.

I don't want sabates to own the team. But we already know what we have in Jerry.. A meddling owner that will install yes men and friends to keep people happy. At least a new owner gives us a chance at a new philosophy. One that focuses on winning more than feelings, hopefully 

[Mr. Scot]

Timing is a big deal here too.

By doing this while everybody's busy talking about the Super Bowl, it gets less attention.

You really believe Jerry Richardson is doing this for logical reasons?

Seriously, dude...

JR's not doing it, he's selling the team.

[UpstatePanther]

40 minutes ago, Mr. Scot said:

"Ownership" is still Jerry Richardson.

So at this point we'd be "trusting the ownership" that fired a successful GM in order to rehire a guy who only produced three winning seasons out of eleven and bungled multiple draft picks.

Yeah, "trust ownership" 

FIFY

I'm mean JR did appoint a cheerleader to run the team, it only stands to reason he make a radio guy the GM.  

I’m normally one to say stuff like this, but that’s kind of messed up man. Just because she was a cheerleader doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the knowledge to run the team in the interim. May not have experience, but a lot of times people don’t have experience and are required to jump in the fire anyway.

Or they have an agreement with JR to follow his wishes.

Yes, that would absolutely suck, but unfortunately it's quite possible.

When I said a few weeks ago that the new owner or owners were probably already onboard with JR you labeled me a conspiracy theorist or something similar.  I see you are beginning to believe.
