What if RR goes and Hurney stays

Just my opinion, but based on the fact Tepper has been in an ownership role before (albeit a minority owner), his list of people he would strongly consider as a GM is probably longer and more well established than who he would like to see as a HC.  Based on that, if changes are made I think it is a clean sweep.

Personally, keeping Hurney and getting rid of Rivera is not a solid solution.  That means Hurney most likely has a huge role in finding and hiring Rivera's replacement.  I just don't think he is who I want making that call. 

Also, we approached this season with a huge question: our starting QB would not be ready for the season or would not finish it.  Recovery from shoulder injuries, even if it was ultimately just a clean-out, are never sure things and we honestly still do not know the answer.  But given that, exactly what did Hurney do to shore up the backup position?  Drafting a guy to replace the #3 QB on the depth chart, and perhaps move into #2 (a reasonable expectation before the season) is not an answer. 

That is not a knock on Allen.  But coming into the season, nobody had any realistic expectation that Cam going out when the team had an 0-2 record, Allen could handle the position well enough to have them 5-4 after nine games. 

Aside from that, the line between what is coaching and game strategy vs. what is talent (and thus a roster question) is very blurry.  One of those falls on River and the other Hurney.

I’m pretty sure that when Tepper was looking at the Panthers as a possible purchase he didn’t say to himself “damn, that HC and GM are something special”. 
 

Tepper had an idea of who he wants running this team and when the time comes to make a change BOTH Ron and Marty will be gone

What happens than.... Hurney has gotten us some studs and appears to be a better GM without Mr Bojangles. What say the huddle? I think Hurney is doing well....

As I have stated previously, I will never forgive Hurney1.0 for the mess he created during his first tenure. I don’t care how much better he has been this go round. He still has the ability to go full dumb ass, trading future picks for players who wont be in the league three years later. Give him enough time, he will revert back towards the mean.
