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.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
