If we break the Rooney Rule to hire Marty Hurney, I hereby revoke my Panthers fandom

Well unless "interim" means holding the door open on Mint St. for the next guy to walk through, it's too damn long. 

They should have just named him a consultant or something. 

Firing a guy, hiring his replacement, then firing his replacement after four years right before camp and then bringing the first guy back reeks of desperation, incompetence, and lack of any discernible identity or direction. 

Our franchise is legit more of a laughing stock than the Browns or Raiders even at their most dysfunctional. 

Actually what it tells me is that Gettleman really screwed up or gave JR an ultimatum and engaged in a power struggle. Otherwise the time to fire him was months ago. This came up suddenly and was forced on JR by Gettleman and he must have felt he had no other option. JR has never fired a coach or GM in the summer or Fall that I can remember. Can you?

They're doing it to avoid the rooney rule. He'll be your full time GM after this season, prepare thy anus.

2 separate issues. You can hire an interim without the Rooney rule but before you hire a GM permanently you have to go by the Rooney rule. So the Panthers couldn't hire him without interviewing a minority candidate. Given our head coach and defensive coordinator are minorities, I doubt we are trying to get around anything.

He's been a damn Charlotte radio host since then. They might as well hire QCB, at least he would be Rooney Rule compliant.

The Rooney Rule doesn't apply to GMs.

But don't let that stop you from fleeing.

As I said previously. (Yes, it is me, the 100% real deal PanthersUnited, this shocking news was enough to be bring me back) this whole situation is inexcusable and unforgiveable. 

Firing Gettleman was inexcusable, replacing him with Hurney is unforgiveable and JR rubbing salt in the wound. 

 

This is akin to letting Cam Newton walk and re signing Jimmy Clausen to replace him

No joke, I pulled up a complete list of all 32 teams and deciding on a new team. I set rules and guidelines: No contenders (too easy), no NFC south team (obvious reasons) prefer a team similar mold to the Panthers; Up and coming, middle of the road team on the brink of breaking out, prefer no previous SB winners. 

 

Rams, Texans, Titans and Bengals so far are good candidates. Still have to weigh all the options.

So leave already.
