Director of College Scouting: Marty Hurney

[saX man]

Don't freak out guys.  Marty may get a VP/consulting title and could get this role.  The good thing is, that with a new GM and scouts hired by a Colbert/etc. under him, he will be checked on both ends!

We are good. Goooooood.

An entirely new system is coming from top down folks.  Brace in for an crazy upcoming ride. 

Whoever doesn't go #1 between Herbert and Burrow is now a legit target if we go 6-10 or 5-11.  Tepper will want to make a SPLASH at HC as well but don't think of some retread name.  Brace yourselves.  As Saxy hinted at with the Fire Rivera thread, Scott is being given a chance and Rivera is gone.  Hold on.  Hold on for one more day.

I would start considering Cam plus our first and maybe more to go get Burrow.

[Mr. Scot]

Mentioned elsewhere that even if a change in title doesn't occur, it does sound like a change in assigned duties will.

What's also likely to change is the scouting department. Pretty good chance it's going to be cleared out and remade.

For the most part, Marty built that department. He probably won't enjoy saying goodbye to some of the people he put in place.

Fire Mick Mixon and give the job to Herniay.

If Marty is strictly in charge of who the Panthers draft in the 1st round, that is great and I'm all about that. Outside of that I don't really see a role for him.

Dont see us going QB

He is going to make dam well sure the trenches are fixed.  I remember him mentioning the OL last offseason, and it has been a disaster this season.

I agree. Having a structure of checks and balances around Hurney is a good thing.

Yeah Ryan Kalil sucked.  Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson, Gary Barniage and Josh Norman too.  Others too.

My personal belief is Kellen Mond being a target for us in 2020.  He's going to return to school (there is a chance he just leaves this year) but he has really interesting potential.

Let's face it, the guy is apparently a joy to work with and can make some solidn choices every now and again.  He needs to be checked with receivers and secondary in particular.

I swear this team is trying to kill me.

If you have to hire people to control him is he really worth keeping?  Why not just hire a guy capable of, you know, doing his job?

Honestly after watching the interview with Tepper, I like his approach of having more than one guy at the top. If it’s my money, sure, I’d like to have one guy to pay, but if Tepper is willing to have specialist roles on the payroll, then that’s fine by me.

I'm fine with more than one guy calling the shots but none of them need to be Hurndog.  I just can't get over this unsettling development.
