Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Hurney was initially fired he didn't garner any interest at all from other teams around the league, right? IIRC that was a pretty damning assessment of his GM'ing skills.

Correct.

He won't stay. I think he will only be used by JR to secure his "favorites" and then replaced next season, guaranteeing JR gets to retain his special players in his 'family-ring'.

We all know why JR let go Hurn Dawg the first time.

 

Will not be surprised if the next GM will be very similar to DG in style.

I don't think anyone on the Huddle can say for sure if he did or didn't get inquires from from other teams. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't but I do know he has stated to anyone that asked that he had zero interest in getting back into NFL operations after he left here.

That's why he's here......JR loves the ones no one else wants. lol

He's in the running believing otherwise is naive. 

Jerry never wanted to fire Hurney, now he has invented a perfect excuse to take him back and will probably run a successful team he largely had nothing to do with. 

I won't be comfortable with this until the ink dries on a new GM. 

And god forbid we do keep Hurney as our permanent GM...

    • Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay! 
    • It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
    • I like when this big kat is going crazy panther fan and not the pat jersey betting against persona.
