Rhule may have had a part in this

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Heard a little bit of the presser: Tepper also indicated that Marty's resistance to analytics based decision making might have hurt his case too.

Analytics?  Hurney don't need no stinking analytics.  He has his ample gut to go by.

And another thing....

I think a lot of QBs bust because they are not right for the system.  The team drafts a QB and tries to build around him, but the philosophies and experiences are not valid.  Coaches leave, etc.  Here, we know what skill sets we need at each position...We are getting there.

kyle allen played better/ more inspiring football. says all you need to know.

Allen turned the ball over at a ridiculous rate. 

More inspiring for the other team, perhaps. 

[Mr. Scot]

Tepper did also acknowledge that the possibility of firing Marty did cross his mind this time last year. It's valid to note though that it would have been tougher to replace both coach and GM in the same offseason.

Starting to sound like Tepper's level of respect for Marty might have been overblown.

[Wes21]

Considering how Tepper describes how he wants the process to work, I can definitely see why Hurney wouldn't work out.  Hurney has been here forever and probably feels like he's earned his stripes here...and he's got 2 new guys (owner and HC) telling him to fall in line.

It reminds me of when one company buys out another company.  The people that have been with the company for decades have a really hard time adjusting to new management and a new way of doing things...so they get purged.

[Mr. Scot]

Remember the story that Marty became convinced Rhule was their guy and went into "recruiting" mode?

Ummm...

Everybody gets a chance to catch a football, even defenders.  Fair is fair.

[Rocky Davis]

I wonder if they started disagreeing around the time the Moton news came out? 

I damn sure think Rhule wants Moton to be a part of this team moving forward and Hurney was already moving on because he's messed up this team's cap space AGAIN.

Rhule is a yes man. So I wouldnt put a lot of stock in anything he says.

Because a real man would tell the guy writing his 60m paycheck to suck his dick. 

Tepper knows he doesn't know how to coach a football team so he brought on someone who can with a proven record of doing it his way. You cant be smarter than everyone in the building. Tepper is going to let Rhule do what he hired him to do. 

[Mr. Scot]

One more fun fact...

Both times Marty Hurney has been fired, he agreed with it.

Back in 2012, Hurney was reported to have fallen on the sword in order to save head coach Ron Rivera because Richardson wanted to fire him. And today, David Tepper stated that Hurney agreed their split was "best for both parties".

From Marty's perspective, that could mean that the timing gives him a chance to latch on in Washington, or it could just be he's come to realize that he and head coach Matt Rhule just see things differently.

So as odd as it sounds, Marty was on board with his own dismissal...twice.

And for the record, I was in agreement with both firings as well.

What would you expect the public narrative of this to be??

[onmyown]

why do people around here continually narrow down a GMs job as just the draft and some even narrow it down to just the first round...there is so much more a GM does.

Matt Rhule is the furthest thing possible from a Yes Man.

Yep, he’s somewhere between Chip Kelly and Pete Carroll. I hope for you sakes he’s closer to the later in two years time.

hey at least I saw like that one game vs the Texans where he actually led the team to a win. the sunk cost for teddy next year is by far the worst part about him.
