Serious: What will Tepper do with Hurney?

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.

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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
