Possible GM Candidates

[Mr. Scot]

While I still think the process is going to be rigged for Marty Hurney, this is at least potentially good news.

Would love to get Cowden back, he's a guy that the new owners may keep around for a while too to see how he does.

[Jon Snow]

For the sake of what's best for this team JR better stay the fug out of it.   But now that he's set up the "panel" that will do the interviews the process is doomed from the jump.  I hope someone asks him who is on this panel.

Who in there right mind wants a GM job for less than a year? New ownership will fire and rehire their own once the team transfers. 

[Mr. Scot]

Tina Becker being in on it is likely just a rubber stamp for Richardson.

If Ron Rivera is part of it, and I expect he will be, we know from his own words that he'll favor Hurney (and it's not like Rivera makes the greatest decisions when it comes to hiring people anyway).

I'd take the process a lot more seriously if it involved someone from outside the organization, but that's not likely.

I'm hopeful that an actual qualified candidate is selected, but I can't help feeling like this is all just a show and we'll wind up with Hurney in the end.

Prove me wrong, Panthers.

I thought so too.  I am not buying the Marty 2.0 crap.  It was my opinion  that he started mortgaging the future to save his job before getting canned---that is a character issue.  Secondly, he always drafted a safe pick in the first round. Finally, there were positions he would ignore or suck at drafting--like DT, WR (Jarrett, Colbert, etc) , and I don't recall many DBs that made me squirm with outright joy.

[Mr. Scot]

No mention of Trent Kirchner anywhere. Also looks like Louis Riddick fans are gonna be disappointed.

Ryan Cowden is my choice

Marty Hurney?

 

oh crap.....

Hurney probably ain't going to make the cut, guys.  It appears that "interim" really meant interim.

I sure hope you're right.  But history is not on our side.

The only way I see this being the case is if new ownership is already basically decided upon behind the scenes and is giving their okay on this search. If not, I have to think there's a really good chance that new ownership will bounce whoever and put the people of their choosing in place.

This whole thing is looking more and more like it's a last ditch effort to go all in to get a title for JR and his cronies.  The only reason they are doing this at all is because by rule they have to.  The panel will in the end select Hurney.

Then Hurney will have free reign to do whatever it takes to make sure they win it all with the next two years.  Cap be damned. 

I would bet my left nut that old Jerry has already set this up with the next owner.  Except for wrecking the cap part that is, the new owner will find that out later.
