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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
