I mentioned in another thread - no reason for an investigation to take " weeks"

The Richardson story was months ago and that investigation is still just getting started.

The NFL bot blasted in the press and in the public for making quick work of previous investigations. They're not going to want to take anything for granted. They have to be thorough.

Richardson is purported to have verbally " assaulted" multiple people over several years.  Nothing comparable to Hurneys ex es allegations.  A lot of Hurney evidence is already on the record via the court system as well.

All of them are capable of getting hired for executive jobs by somebody other than Jerry Richardson.

That puts them easily a notch above Marty Hurney.

(several notches, actually)

if they are so "qualified" why don't they already have a gm job?

That's frightening 

Why?  If they are doing it relying on inputs from the scouting department and coaching staff, then its probably not much different from how the other GM's do it.   Matt Allen probably knows as much about drafting as Hurney does, and perhaps more.

Doesn't matter. They still have to do a thorough investigation to make sure they don't miss anything. And even if it's unrelated, this happening in the shadow of the Richardson investigation certainly doesn't help.

It does matter - when there is one victim there is very little to investigate compared to multiple victims.

Mayhew did. Raye is currently an Assistant GM and Dawson has had four GM interviews, including one with us.

I guess we could also say that historically Hurney's been bad at it so why not just let anyone else do it. 

The draft is a several month long project and Hurney's already been out scouting personally and working on it. I just don't think it's a simple plug and play thing. Happy to be wrong here if I am....

What information do you have that points you in the probable direction ?  

 

from my above linked article

re read that last quote

Ex Parte orders are very easy to get, they make them that way to protect victims of Domestic Violence, for the Judge to deny the order they have to believe that she was lying

[Chaos]

Oh the irony.  The one person Marty doesn't ridiculously overpay brings him to his knees.

I understand that which is why I said this is nothing but a spurned ex

This is actually very funny. And sad but true.

Nobody else would want the job now, gonna have new ownership soon (er) or later and they might wipe out the whole crew and start over.  Hurney or someone in org will probably have to navigate us through the next couple of months which will unfortunately set out 2018 season
