Panthers coach Search Update (Dec 28 UPDATE)

[joeyxfresco]

Jerruh selling the team somehow made us worse. I hope to god we don’t pick up the NFC North version of Ron Rivera

Tepper confirmed that he wasn't going to be using any consultants or search firms.

This is all him.

Another sign of a great owner, an outsider who thinks he knows more than all the football people in the room.  Yikes.

Just now, CRA said:

I think Tepper has already signaled Hurney will have a new role.  Front office is simply changing.   Hurney's job about to shrink. 

New role

But then glowed about his scouting and drafting.

Which was one if not the worst part of the current role.  So just much of the same.  Different title same Marty, same Panthers

Anyone willing to take the HC job here with moron 2.0 we have at GM doesn't have the intelligence to be a good coach anyways.

Marty Hurney was GM when Ron Rivera took the job in 2011.

But I wouldn't expect you to know that being that you jumped on the bandwagon in 2015.

Not exactly thrilled, but as long as we get a HC with an offensive mind, I'm cool.  I...AM...SO...OVER defensive minded HCs.

Id feel better with the Panthers going forward with McCarthy at HC and a competent GM. Than Hurney at GM and one of these hot shot Coach names

Word is that whoever gets the head coaching job will have a say in who  the new front office hire is.

I know a lot of people aren't exactly thrilled with that idea.

("ass backwards" was the preferred term, I believe)

Moron 1.0 still hadn't been exposed, only 2 seasons from the playoffs.  Moron 2.0 with five non-consecutive seasons and failures of drafts is a much bigger red flag.

Wasn’t Kevin Greene his OLB coach at one time?

Sure was.

I had to look up where he'd gone since then. Apparently he was with the Jets till last year and now he's unemployed/retired.

It's conceivable McCarthy could bring him back.

So the GM (Hurney) Hires the guy who will then have the say who is at GM.

 

Well if that aint f***ked up and corrupt.

I don't think McCarthy would be a bad hire. He's sat out of the league for a year and has allegedly hired some people to help update his playbook and maybe his coaching technique (clock management, player input, etc.).

Also, he had three non-winning years in Green Bay. Yes, he had a HOF QB, but you gotta believe he had a major role in their dominance in the NFCN for close to a decade.

consider the QB talent Mike McCarthy had.....and the little he accomplished? 

No thanks.  Plenty of coaches would have walked away with more IMO. 

To be fair though, Sean Payton has had arguably a better QB, if not at least one of the same caliber, and he has one superbowl and missed the playoffs 3 years in a row. And people would drive to New Orleans to pick him up and bring him to Charlotte.

Hurney 1.0 traded up to draft Armanti Edwards.

You don't know jackshit about the Panthers. Give it a rest, and hold that L.

I honestly feel the same, and wouldn't be mad as Long as he builds the right staff around.

 

People get zoned on HC's. The right Assistants around is just as important.
