Twice, I think.

But putting aside the silliness, I hope someone in the Panthers offices is smart enough to consider this.

We already know from inside reports that the scouting staff is constantly having to talk Marty Hurney out of doing something stupid. Why not take the pressure off of them and put that job in the hands of one man?

If the Panthers were to make Lake Dawson the assistant GM, then they would gain the benefit of all his knowledge and experience while still allowing Jerry Richardson to hang on to his Golden Calf. The team hasn't had an Assistant GM since Brandon Beane left for the Bills so there's no one to replace, and it's a position we've had open before.

Is it the job he interviewed for? No, but it's still a step up from his current position. It also puts him in place to easily take the permanent job if the next owner does as most suspect he will and fires Hurney. Dawson would have a head start and the team wouldn't have to bother with interviewing other candidates.

Would Hurney feel threatened? Maybe, but honestly who gives a rat's ass? He's lousy at his job so he probably should feel threatened.

Outside of the fact that it might make Marty Hurney feel nervous or inferior, does anyone have a good argument why this shouldn't happen?

Doesn’t this plan kinda count on Lake Dawson not having any pride or self-respect?

No. It's still a promotion from his current job.

Granted, he'd be working under someone who isn't as smart as him, but hey...
