You think only two? I think 3-4. JR's gonna set his old buddy up right. Probably still feels bad about firing him in the first place.

He can get 50 year extension and it's meangingless because a new owner could fire him next year. But yes, for formality's sake It will be two - like Rivera's

Lol. They could at least make it look less obvious. Why would we wait until 3 weeks after we were eliminated to do this? 

[Daddy_Uncle]

seems like we should get an owner in first who will get the GM they want. What is Hurney going to keep hopping from chair to chair interviewing himself and answering his own questions then shaking his own hand for getting the job

[Toker Smurf]

Fug this. New owner soon, should just leave it be

Hurney and a Rooney rule interview.

And only announce one other candidate. A borderline candidate who just so happens to satisfy the Rooney Rule requirement.

All this shit was decided before gettleman was even fired.

Seriously this...

 

Its obvious they always intended to keep Hurney. It’s been 3 weeks since we’ve been eliminated, he already has draft work done, and fired and hired coaching staff. You don’t wait 3 weeks when everyone has already made moves to then “hire” your GM. 

Its a slap in the face of the process and would piss me off if I was the candidate. It wouldn’t surprise me if Tina didn’t even know how to start the process as we don’t really have any executive or people with experience there to help her:

It is absolutely shitting on the spirit of the Rooney rule. Teams are supposed to honestly consider minority candidates for their positions. The Panthers will not do that.

[AceBoogie]

Lol Hurney getting an interview? You know it’s his job. 

[Car123]

The best GM available will be appointed. Trust ownership.

Which is why I’m in favor of tossing the rule. I don’t believe it actually helps minotroty candidates at all. These organizations aren’t dumb, they know who the good minority candidates if they’re truly interested they would interview them without the rule. Nobody has ever hired anyone because they were forced to interview them.
