Marty Hurney will meet with league on Friday

Panthers interim general manger Marty Hurney, on paid administrative leave while the NFL investigates a claim of harassment by his ex-wife, will meet with the league on Friday. Former New York City prosecutor Lisa Friel, who handles such issues for the league, has been assigned the case. Hurney's ex-wife has withdrawn the complaint, but the league still is conducting its own investigation. Hurney is one of four candidates being considered for the fulltime GM job.

Seriously the league needs to fast track this. Considering the allegations, the situation and the relationship this should be easy to figure out. We need a GM now him or someone else. The quicker they wrap this up the faster we get a GM.

The league only has to wrap this up quickly if you want to hire Hurney.

His being under investigation doesn't stop the Panthers from naming somebody else the GM.

Correct but let's all be honest, They're going to hire Hurney if they can get away with it. So for the Panthers sake and having a good draft, hopefully this is quick.

I wonder if this meeting has anything to do with the hire.  

What if the league speaks with him and believes that the EX is only causing fake news issues and drop the case and he is made permanent GM contrary to what Jason C. reported.

I fully expect that to happen because LaCanfra is a hack. The moment he said we were getting an outside GM it was set in stone it would be Hurney.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
