Honestly, at this point I'd be more comfortable with him running this offseason just for the sake of continuity until new ownership takes over. Throwing someone in last minute who isn't familiar with the team doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

the only thing hurney’s familiar with is the view of the inside of his own ass

Keeping a terrible general manager in place for the sake of continuity when you have an opportunity to hire someone who can do a great job is the absolute height of stupidity.

Seems like common sense, Hurney wasn't good at the key things GMs need to be good at. Find late round talent and keep the cap competitive. But yet people support him since he's been around the block. poo seems crazy to me.

Atleast if a new candidate came in and did a poor job that'd be one thing. But rehashing a GM that couldn't cut the mustard the first time outside of the first and expecting him to produce drastically different results is foolish. 

If you have the 1st pick in every fuging round another player besides the qb should still be on the team 4/5 years later, point blank period.

It was selfish of JR to hold out until the end of the season to wait to sell the team. I'm afraid we'll pick a GM only to have a new owner come in next year and tear the team apart and start this all over again.

There is no doubt in my mind the new owner will replace Hurney unless the team is wildly successful...which is what Hurney is banking on.

Seems like all has been quiet on the interview front after the Fritz Pollard Alliance said that we're all clear on the Rooney Rule front. Seems pretty obvious to me that if the NFL can get Marty cleared then he's the new GM. Pretty much like we all assumed from the get-go. Hurney will almost certainly oversee free agency and the draft this year, but I'd be surprised if new ownership doesn't give him the boot soon. This sucks, but it wasn't at all unexpected.

I guess the hindsight is he will be canned by new owners.

When a new owner takes over, nobody's job is safe, and the current GM will likely get the squinty eyed look the first day.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
