Hurney flew back from the Combine to tell J-Stew in person he was released.

It's not like every pass Jimmy Clausen ever threw was incomplete or intercepted.

Point is Clausen was bad at his job. So was Hurney.

And nobody just "wants to be negative". We'd all rather see our team win than lose. That's the reason why when people see what they think is a bad move, they complain.

Can't expect people to act like everything the team does is a great idea.

How do you rate 02-05 Hurney?

Exactly. The same 3 or 4 posters either start or morph every thread into a Hurney was awful, the front office sucks, Richardson is a scumbag and Gettleman was great debate. Then keep posting until every one gives up arguing. You can tell they are Gettleman acolytes given the often rude and insulting comments that mimics their idol.

There's nothing to debate about any of that.  Well maybe the Gettlemen was great part, but the rest is fact.

Good grief Gettleman sucked--no debate.

nobody on here wants to hear the truth. they want to tenaciously hold on to this assertion that gettleman was an ill-mannered poo-slinging chimp. they’re in denial about the entire situation. they want it to be true so bad that we’ve got a chorus of autistic superfans repeating the mantra that gettleman is an asshole 20-30 times a day bc if they entertain the idea that JR downgraded for no good reason then they can’t enjoy their precious offseason.

Hurney did it the right way.

He had work to do at the combine and decides to leave that job and spend a day traveling to focus on 1 player he knows will NOT be on the roster next year.  Timing was terrible. 

Aside from the time he was suspended, he could have done this at any point.  He could have done this after the combine.  DURING the combine--not smart.

This is one reason Gettleman was fired and Marty rehired. How management treats players does make a big difference and is important to the locker room. These guys are professional and deserve to be treated as such. The idea that at long as you win who cares how you treat people is an ignorant attitude which just reflects the decline in civility and respect for others so rampant these days. The ends don't justify the means. In fact I have been taught my whole life the exact opposite. 

you are 100% right but if this is the ONLY reason, it's not enough to justify the firing

it's not like Hurney knows what he's looking at when attending the combine, so there's no real harm done by his coming back to Charlotte.  Saved the company on hotel and meal expenses.

Hurney's actually doing his job for once. He knows he's on the hot seat, and it's pleasantly surprising to see him put forth the effort now that he has his second chance.

Hope this remains a permanent thing and now a temporary change like Ron.

Well said. 

TO THE MH LOVERS:  Getting tired of all these folks calling everyone who disagrees with them about Marty "HATERS".  We obviously want him to be successful, but we remember what he did before--and everything we accused him of doing he has since admitted. He has done nothing to restore the confidence you all have decided to give him.  But simple minds need 2 colors, not hues on a continuum.  Bad/Good, Hot/Cold, Love/Hate etc. 

So those who call me and others a hater, it is because the position we take is so complex and fact based it contradicts the lovers' belief that Marty deserves their blind loyalty before he has earned it.  There are free thinkers who need evidence to form rational opinions--and there are the gas--lit cult members who walk like zombies behind promises that appeal to their hopes.  They need no evidence because they will dispute all that does not appeal to their warped, self-serving ideologies.  This place is loaded with these lamp-rubbing, lunar chanters.

Nobody is hating Marty, nut huggers, they are just skeptical and expressing it.  When he has done some things to earn the praise you have already given him, we will all be in agreement.

Thanks for the patronizing post--that added nothing.

Its called rotation I rather have him work the phones and try to get our own extended & then work on resonable FAs.

It's not like he can't watch the tapes from combine on his Microsoft Surface, the combine is really for getting the tangibles.

I'm sure he would have given him a BJ too of he asked for it.

It costs to fly him back and forth and he still eats meals while travelling
