A fine mess

I don't understand why this would take many weeks to conclude.  A good investigator could probably pull it off by the end of this week and cover all the bases that need covering.  NFL drags its damn feet on poo like this.

True, but large businesses and corporations drag out their "investigations" to signal "the seriousness of their intent".

A lot of modern business and even personal interaction is all about "signaling" these days.

Meh. At least this isn't 2010 season. You CAN'T beat that.

Let me see if I can help you out: Billable Hours.

Very good idea.Maybe that's why Belichek is so good- gives money to the players that need/deserve it based on work, not stats.

This approach has failed (and failed spectacularly) far more often than it succeeds.

Good thing the draft seems like kind of a crap shoot this year, with a lot of players projected anywhere from the 1st to the 4th round, depending on who's doing the mock. We can just have somebody throw darts at a board for our picks. After round one I think that's Hurney's method anyway.

Let the huddle draft for the Panthers this year.

So, not only playing in footballs most competitive division...we have to deal with incompetent owners as well?  Yay.

 

Firing Dave was a foolish decision, period.  Now it's biting us in the rear.  There is no team president, no GM, no majority owner in place, and the combine and offseason just started.

We have a franchise QB, two of the very best defenders in the NFL, and we cannot figure out the front office.

Man, it's a sad day when the Bucs are laughing at us for being dysfunctional.

Gettleman fired

Hurney hired as interim GM (wink wink)

Owner happy his guy is back

GM search never begins

Owner forced to quit

Half hearted Rooney rule GM interviews 

Hurney now under investigation, and will take many weeks to conclude.

Panthers currently have no GM with the scouting combine weeks away.

 

That, my friends, is a huge bowl of poo porridge to eat spoonful by spoonful.

 

What a fuggin mess. I've never seen anything like it and I grew up with the Bucs in the 1980s. 

 

 

 

 

The bright side is that the coaches get the opportunity to shop for their own groceries and Norv will be in the building to help.

What I don't understand is why it takes the NFL many weeks to conduct a thorough investigation of a crazy ex wife that got denied a restraining order? How many people would the NFL need to talk to? You talk to Marty, you talk to the ex wife, you talk to a couple neighbors, and a couple of Marty's co-workers and friends. What else is there to do? This isn't a whodunit murder investigation. 

[tondi]

Not to quibble but all teams do half hearted Rooney rule interviews.  Nobody in their right mind likes being required to interview people you have no interest in hiring just to appease the perpetually aggrieved among us. 

[Wyank]

Since the Panthers are a every other year team anyways, it makes sense it would be happening this off season.  I look forward to the ass kickings we will be giving out for the 2019 regular season.

Because they've screwed up big time on previous investigations and gotten their asses kicked for it by media and women's groups.

Political and social climate being what it is, it's hard to blame them for wanting to dot every i and cross every t.

Wait people think it’d be a good idea for Ron to have more responsibility oh lord jesus

Indeed. I can already see the "experts" picking us to finish last in our division next year due to all this turnover.
