The only excuse I can make for Hurney is that he is/was Richardson's "yes man".  Gettlemen, apparently, was not.  The stupidity of Marty Hurney's Jake Delhomme deal, followed by his rampage through free agency after Richardson's "pie chart" purging in 2010, followed by the Everrette Brown, Armanti Edwards, and Jeff Otah trade ups--inexcusable.  I know some of you like him, but you have short memories or you have not researched his success compared to other GMs for good teams.

Marty laughed during a recent interview when his lack of popularity when he left was mentioned.  That pissed me off. Maybe he will be better without the carpet burns on his forehead from JR's  office.  (too much?)

    • I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space.
    • And they are perfect during the month of February! The fact they're 11th in the league now, but best in the league since Dec 6 tells you everything you need to know.
