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.

Well the Rooney rule is honestly quite silly and has been poo on every year with every team that has an opening.

Hurney and a Rooney rule interview.

 

 

Awesome.

Pretty much what we were expecting. They'll satisfy the Rooney Rule and then hand Hurney the keys. And no, I don't expect any additional candidates to show up.

Wouldn't you love to see the questions Tina Becker plans to ask?

The Rooney Rule is just PC bullshit. You're either a candidate or you're not and the spirit of the rule gets shat upon yearly because it's a dumb, face saving rule to begin with.

Rotoworld seems to think that the Hurney interview is just a courtesy to him and that we're not planning on hiring him full time... They're usually pretty spot on with their analysis though I certainly question it this time.

How does that desk suit you? Is it okay or would you like a replacement? The chair? PC or Mac? Paint and drapes... those good? Okay, here's the contract you and JR have already worked out, just sign here.

I'm just kidding...

Raiders did the same with Gruden. 

But the NFL said they “followed” the rule

The best GM available will be appointed. Trust ownership.

"Ownership" is still Jerry Richardson.

So at this point we'd be "trusting the ownership" that fired a successful GM in order to rehire a guy who only produced three winning seasons out of eleven and bungled multiple draft picks.

Yeah, "trust ownership" :)

Just to throw it out there too...

any good candidates won’t apply or want to come here with the team for sale. They don’t want to risk their career and be “fired” because a new owner wants the person they want. 

Same poo happened when we were looking for a OC and hired Shula

Partially correct.

Jimmy Raye is definitely a good candidate, but he's only being asked here for one reason and he doesn't have a serious shot at the job.

No other good candidates are going to come because nobody's going to ask them to come. 

This is just a formality so they can hire Hurney without the league complaining. The only way I could see them even asking for somebody else is if they catch on that people know this is a sham. Even then, it'll only be for PR.

For now, we're stuck with Hurney.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
