Serious: What will Tepper do with Hurney?


Recommended Posts

I don't know if it'll be soon, but I don't expect Hurney to stick past this season unless we have something along the lines of a Super Bowl winning year.

It's not strictly about performance. Nobody is more closely associated with Jerry Richardson than Marty Hurney. Heck, the NFL has already urged the Panthers to dump Hurney once.

Plus, to be honest, @Woodie is right. Tepper really doesn't come off like the kind of guy who'd spend two billion on something and just leave it as is. Seems more likely he's gonna put his own stamp on it and maybe soon.

Yeah, it's possible Hurney sticks, but it's not something I'd bet on.

If we don’t make a strong run I expect Tepper to clean house and bring in his people. Not just because I’m sure he’d like to do that but also to thoroughly wash away the stink of this whole #metoo situation we have going on inside the organization.

I'd say this is the single most important year of Hurney's career in football. If he can put a playoff team on the field I imagine if he isn't here next year he will be sought by other teams and rightfully so.

He will get his guy after this season more than likely.

there is going to be a turn over period but Tepper didn’t spend 2bill on a team to just watch it as a fan.

Said it elsewhere: He could still bring on his own people this season by putting them in open positions like team president.

Zero chance of coaching changes, but adding people to the front office is possible without firing anyone.

I think it's highly likely that Hurney gets the boot, even after a Championship. Maybe even prior to the first kickoff. What better time for the new GM to get up to speed with the team, than to come on board before the season starts after the offseason legwork has been done.

Tepper will see Hurney's tenure in the past, as well as one year not being indicative of building a Super Bowl team. He will want his guy, that he knows will get the job done how he wants it. Hurney is not that guy.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
