Is Hurney next to get the boot?

How many think he will be here next season, regardless of his moves since being re-hired? His close relationship with the previous owner may seal his fate. The whole rehire was bizarre and unprecedented.

 Tepper would like to put his stamp on the team and being forced to keep that statue at the stadium, I'm sure pisses him off. Opinions........

Ole Hurn Dog has nothing to do with the statue, but nice to see that everything keeps coming back to that, also, nice to see somebody besides Trump being blamed for everything...

But more on point, Tepper does not seem like the kind of guy to fire somebody without cause, or because of a nonrelated issue. I think Tepper gives Hurney enough rope to hang himself with and will make a move if needed.

  He shouldn’t be judged by just one off-season anyway, good or bad. Even after the season, draft picks and FA signees “status” could change dramatically. Can’t fully judge a draft after one year. Remember how good the 2014 draft looked after one year. 2015 looked bad after 2 years. Now it’s pretty good. 

  When you have a long resume for someone you’re evaluating, you don’t just look at the last job. I would ask why you were fired from this exact job before? What did you do to improve your skills in between the time you were fired then re-hired? Were you offered a similar position with another organization?

Hurney did get Cam weapons but crapped the bed for our offensive line.

I’d say he should get part of the blame if the Panthers stagger.

Totally off base unless you think Hurney should have replaced Ryan. Losing Norwell was Gettleman's fault for not locking him up sooner if anyones fault and Gettleman also signed Kalil. With the little cap space we had, we had few moves we could make with so many defensive and offensive holes to fill at other positions.

I don't see anyone on the football side being dumped this season, but to be clear, executives are not as safe as coaching staff.

It'd be an awful lot of trouble to replace a coach this time of year. An executive, even a GM, not as much.

Barring a losing season (at least one without a playoff appearance that is), Hurney's job is safe. And the guy is doing a good job so far.

I'm not sure anyone could fix a lack of offensive weapons AND the offensive line in the same off-season with the money he had available. He fixed the weapons first and if they work, they should give Cam quicker outs and relieve some of the pressure on the o-line.

Neither do I. I do think the coaching staff has a bit longer leash than anyone else, but I also think Tepper, while willing to be patient, absolutely will not sit around listening to the same song and dance. Consistent winning is what he wants and repeating our historical pattern will not be acceptable to him.

So crap on Hurney, but Give Gettleman a pass? Come on SACA, Gettleman is long gone. There's no need to defend him anymore. The O-line is largely his fault. There's little that Hurney could have done about the O-line this season.

    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
    • Maybe Rod changing his philosophy a little so that stars dont turn into JAGs.
    • I feel like the last 2 years were the best chances to win the Cup under Rod. Especially 2 years ago. Im afraid this year is the start of the decline. You cant last forever with his philosophy which doesnt change and most stars you get by the trade deadline end up being just another guy.  It sucks because he is a master motivator. All he needs to do is make small tweaks like change his coaching staff and actually address the issues this team has had year after year in the playoffs. Not just personnel wise, but strategic wise.
