I don't have a favorite in the coaching search, but I do get the sense that McDaniels is the quickest path to a Hurney free Panthers team and I'm totally in favor of that.

Yea, I'm not big on McD, but if that gets the ghost of JR past out of the building, I'm ALL IN.

Tre Boston had a very under the radar, great season, for a terrible defense.  He might have been our 2nd or 3rd best player on defense this year.

Check out his PFF grade

Just because no one wanted him, doesn't mean he's not good;  a lot of guys end up undervalued by the market for one reason or another.

that and he's also a really good lockerroom guy and hype man, i'd take him as a backup just for that energy he brings to the team. he was about the only person on the field in the few games i watched that didnt look soft and dead

I like the DC in SF, the OC in KC, and the OC in Min in that order, as far as HC goes. Of course Hurney being ousted would be the biggest improvement for this team right now.

Being reported that Rivera has already gotten a front office executive pushed out (he'll be departing after the draft).

The GM position won't be their only opening.

It's the reason talks slowed down yesterday before Redskins eventually caved. Allowing Rivera to shape the front office structure to how he wants. He's basically got full control with out having full control.

I think offering Rivera that kind of control is crazy.

But hey, it's not us.

He'll get to have say so on the gm and rest of front office and scouting it seems.

Well, there are a bunch of guys in Charlotte who are speculated to be looking for jobs around late April, so he'll have a pool to hire from.

Who else in the Panthers front office is worthy of being a GM candidate for any NFL team besides Marty?

Marty is the Amini of NFL GMs. Somehow he gets entrenched with the Panthers and even when we make the decision to move on from him and no one else will touch him with a ten foot pole somehow he ends up back here in the same capacity once again anyway.

Exactly, and our record steadily declines soon after

No one, including Marty.
