Do y'all think JR would just hand the GM job back to Hurney?

My thinking is that JR saw this season coming back before training camp and he fired Gettleman and then stopped just short of cleaning house on the coaching staff because of the late date. He wasn't going into training camp with no coach as well, since most of the GM duties had already been done. He tapped Marty to come in because he would have the shortest ramp up time for the team, not because he is meant to be here permanently.

And I think the straw that broke the back was McDermott. I think Richardson wanted McDermott to stay here and take over once Rivera was shown the door. Gettleman wouldn't pull the trigger on RR, leaving McDermott to head north to Buffalo. At that point it was fire Gettleman, but too late to retain Beane, who I think would have been sitting in Marty's seat right now had things moved faster. Instead of Charlotte of the North in Buffalo, we'd have had those guys down here.

I really believe, now, that RR and Co. are dead men walking when it comes to their employment. And they know it. The team knows it. And we're just going to have to ride out the season before it all plays out. Sadly, you'd think the coaches would want to make a good impression before hitting the job market again, as well as some of the players who will be entering free agency.

Wish I could say I was wrong on all of this, but it sure does seem like the logical take on it all.

Uh, this makes no sense. If Richardson wanted to fire Rivera and Gettleman and promote McDermott and Beane then he could have just done so. It's not like the owner has to follow the chain of command, when he's at the top of the chain.

Not even the slightest doubt. 

Honestly, I think he only reluctantly let him go the first time. Heck, his issue with Gettleman's personality could have been a convenient excuse to being Hurney back. 

probably tin foil hat talk, but i think hurney was probably in JR's ear talking about how mean gettleman was and that he would do things better and bring back the family atmosphere. make this place happy and content (and fine with losing) again.

seriously...we had such a horrible comfortable with losing culture that took so long to overcome and i can easily see us slipping back into it again.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
