FWIW- Rapoport Says Hurney Is Clear Favorite For GM

[Growl]

There's nothing novel about this. We've known since the announcement that Hurney's contract ran through the draft how this was going to play out.

Can you really hire another GM and tell him he's not allowed to run the draft?

It made no sense for Richardson to be hiring the next GM anyways. 

Hurney will be here until the new ownership arrives and he may back his happy butt through another season but this will be his only offseason running things, which we've known was going to happen.

Richardson likely just figures he's going to do one last solid for a buddy. If he was really as committed as keeping Hurney involved with the organization as some believe then he'd stick him in a position that he actually had a chance of hanging around in.

all this affirmation going on in acceptance of bringing back a guy at a high ranking position who already had his chance here and failed 

 

this organization/fanbase is so fuging weird

That was a scenario I could have gone for, and according to one of our resident insiders, that was actually the original plan, but Richardson's scandal made it impossible to carry out.

Whelp...whatever. On to the actual offseason now.

Trying my hardest to not allow this teams bullshat and incompetence bother me. This whole damn circus they have going on and now playing everyone as fools with this Hurney fiasco is just another kick in the balls. No other franchise would bring back a fired GM that set the team back years except this one.

It is the best choice at this point to run things for a few months until ownership can hire their own guy. 

makes sense
