Current narrative from the organization is that Hurney is an interim GM. 

However, no one has come out and said he is not in the running for the permanent job, and Hurney would not rule that out in the press conference. Narratives can change. A simple "He did so well as interim GM that he was clearly the best candidate" is all it would take. 

So what is your gut telling you right now. Is Hurney truly an interim GM with an expiration date or is the permanent GM job his to lose?

If we win the super bowl, he can stay.. anything less, he needs to go. I can deal with a few years of Hurney's yes man bullshit as long as we have a trophy beforehand.But Jerry will probably give him a lifetime contract after this season regardless.

I'm not sure what JR wants but I have a feeling that Hurney will be temporary.
If you look at this from Hurney's standpoint... he gets to reclaim a job that he was fired from and hopefully rewrite the narrative in a positive way (hopefully). It's liken to many failing their first time as HC but then work their way back to a HC job and surprise everyone with success. Plus he gets to help an old friend (JR) with running it a little less aggressive than DG and bring that "family" feel back.
God I hope it all works out well for our team. I feel this will turn out really well for the Panthers or kill any chance for a long top tier title run for a LONG time... don't see it being just "Okay"...

I'm really surprised I haven't seen #NotMyGM

Nope. He's going to be the new Danny Morrison, not the GM in the future. 

Possible, but entirely different skill set in which Hurney has zero experience. He doesn't strike me as a particularly organized person capable of managing many projects at once in a highly political environment. Nice guy, sure, but that will only get you so far.

GMs manage multiple projects at once. Business owners also do. He's been both of those. He's plenty capable of doing the engagement part that Mr Morrison did. He's got the relationship with the owner. 

Hurney as Pres isn't based on any info - I'm just spitballing. My point, however, is if he "does well" this year then sure maybe he gets to stay on, but I'll bet my car it won't be as the GM.

Note: this bet applies for my Tahoe or my minivan (minivan is DOPE)

I am going to lobby for you to be President. 

 

No one knows what is going to happen with Hurney except Richardson. Just like no one knew Gettleman would be fired but Richardson. It is very possible he is the permanent GM. As likely as any other candidate. I have no doubt about that.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

      From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
