Makes no sense to give Hurney or anyone else a long term deal when new ownership could fire them. Would be nice to have the new boss/bosses in place so we can see what the FO is going to look like.

Maybe the new boss will be a carbon copy of the old boss?  I mean it could be one of the existing minority owners stepping in to take over and they like mediocrity just like JR?  Wouldn't that suck?

All this poo was decided before gettleman was even fired.

Fire Hurney with the understanding that you'll bring him back at some point.

Hire somebody competent to fix his mess.

After they fix things, fire them and bring Hurney back in.

Does that pretty much cover it?

 

The one bright spot is that without that Sports Illustrated report, who knows how many more years we'd have had of Richardson screwing everything into the ground?

i wouldn’t be surprised if this “process” was just a way to at least entrench marty as a full time GM as one of JR’s last personnel moves before he sells the team.

almost like how HR will go through an interviewing process while they have someone that already works there in line for the position anyway.

Or they have an agreement with JR to follow his wishes.

Yes, that would absolutely suck, but unfortunately it's quite possible.

it's it a little weird to hire a new GM like a month or two before we get a new owner? what if they want their own GM?

This is all JR.  It's his last ditch effort to entrench Hurney as GM.  Got to keep the family together as long as he can.  I'm betting he knows who the owners will be and has set this all up.  We are fuged.

It's got nothing to do with the team.

The idea is 1) to put Marty in place in the hope that the new owner decides it's easier to just keep him than look for somebody else or 2) to make sure Marty gets one last big payday just in case the new owner doesn't keep him.

How this affects the team is irrelevant. It's about Marty.

Well we have to have a GM. Marty's contract is just through June or something. Sale likely finalized after that. The timing makes it so that we have to hire somebody for until new ownership comes in.

I'd throw in what I consider to be an obvious question that nobody seems to be asking.

We all know that Marty Hurney is Jerry Richardson's most loyal employee and closest confidante.

So the natural question would be just what did Hurney know about the workplace misconduct that was going on (or the racial incident)?

Did Hurney help hide the legal settlements from the NFL?

Do you not realize how ridiculous you are coming across right now? Firing DG was stupid but JR did so for whatever reason. Hurney actually made sense as an interim before a full on GM search after the year. The team getting put up for sale changed things though and if Hurney stays it's only for the reason that we need a GM and who else would take the job with new ownership coming in? This isn't about Hurney at all.

Of course he did.  Why else keep the guy around. I'd be willing to bet he signed a confidentiality agreement to keep his mouth shut also.

You really believe Jerry Richardson is doing this for logical reasons?

Seriously, dude...

    • 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
