Hurney "isn't sure" he's only interim

Glad to see not everyone is buying this crap we're being force fed

Richardson is a business man first. If the lockout didn't show you that, I don't know what will.

Have you not stopped to think why it is that all the sudden out of the blue almost five years into Gettleman's job that players can allegedly get our GM fired because they are disgruntled about contract negotiations? There were no issues reported with this when it was time to negotiate Cam, and Luke's contracts. Even KK got his contract ironed out with little more than brief camp holdout rumors.

Did JR simply go batshit insane one day after forgetting to take his pills, or were there issues building behind the scenes that we never heard about? We already know Brandon Beane was the man who cooled things down between Gettleman, and personnel all along.

So what changed so dramatically that quickly?

The notion that something had to change would only apply if this hadn't happened before.

This isn't the first time Richardson parted ways with a successful GM because they cared more about winning games than about whether he was hurting people's feelings.

Jerry Richardson is indeed a smart businessman. He is not, however, a successful NFL owner. And as long as he continues running the team his way, he'll continue to have fewer rings than those guys he fired.

[Chief Keek]

Well not surprising, I had a feeling he was here to stay. I'll savior this season.

The first time JR parted ways with a successful GM, it was because he didn't want to make him GM and President, and Jim Irsay did.

As far as this crap with Hurney, it's just crap, or PFT ginning up controversy out of nothing.  Hurney said he isn't sure what happens next.  He's basically saying, "while you have to have a long-term view, I think you still have to take it day-to-day.” You could read that as him acknowledging that he has to prepare for the team's long term outlook as if he'll be here, but is focused on today only (AKA doing your job), but that's not controversial so it has no place on PFT.  The only thing missing is something about Tim Tebow not taking a knee during the National Anthem at a Washington Redskin's game because he's protesting Michael Sam.

The entire story here is based on a possibility that the writer just made up--not one offered by Richardson, or Hurney, or anyone quoted.  It's clickbait, and it looks like it caught a few people.

I'm not even sure it matters.

I honestly think that what it really depends on is how Jerry Richardson likes the feelings and the atmosphere inside the building.

We could have an absolute s--t season and I'm confident he'd find a way to blame it on other factors and say that he still trusts Marty to "right the ship".

 

Woa...Mr Scot like this and you know the Panthers have hilariously fuged up.

Makes football historian sad when Al Davis and J Jones is our owner.

 

Oh wait those 2 had/have rings....lul

right in the kisser

Also I like how you gotta do the history lesson for those that only became Panther fans when Cam was drafted. When you only root for Cam it's hard to see the many situations where this has already happened here and JR got the benefit of the doubt.

Revisionist history, but whatever...

Bill Polian wanted the GM/Team President title and JR said no.  So he went to Indianapolis, and JR gave the GM duties to Capers.  This was the wrong decision, but it had nothing at all to do with feelings.  That doesn't help the narrative that's being drawn though, so it tends to be left out.

i forgot how annoying cyberjag is/was when hurney is the general manager

[top dawg]

The title is a little misleading. That's not exactly what Hurney said. But, we all know there's a chance the "interim" label will be removed.

Shouldn't you be trying to make an intelligent point somewhere?  First time for everything, after all...

I haven't read all 9 pages but the first couple seem to be in full panic, but I didn't get that from the article. 

The article itself seemed like a piece designed to stir up drama on a conclusion they drew themselves. Hurney was asked if he sees himself being the full time GM and he said "I'm not thinking about it, I'm taking it one day at a time" - Which could mean he's taking it one day at a time, or, like the narrative the article wanted to push, it could mean that he totally wants it to happen because he didn't outright say he was against it. Context matters, anyone who ever defends anything Cam says understands that, and, Jesus I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm defending Hurney in this regard. 

[Pimpdaddy]

Hurney is ingrained and entrenched like a leach...ready to start sucking the blood out of this team...you can baleed dat sht...

The panic is because making hurney the full time GM again is insanity and a step backwards. I don't think it's about what he said.. Just about what Jerry will do

Actually not revisionist.

There were plenty of stories at the time of Polian's departure that detailed the friction between the two.  It ultimately boiled down to two things 1) a clash between Richardson's laid back southern style and Bill Polian's angry northerner persona, and 2) a good old fashioned power struggle where Richardson wouldn't let someone who knew what he was doing take control. He had to do it his way.

Richardson certainly has the right to run his team his way. The only problem is "his way" has resulted in twenty plus seasons with no championships. Meanwhile, Gettleman already has 2 rings and Polian led the Colts to the Super Bowl glory that Richardson's teams can only dream about.
