Gettleman is getting absolutely destroyed by national media... STILL

No other team in the league thought Marty Hurney was worth hiring for even so much as a regional scout position.

But Jerry Richardson... Oy 

the panthers are like the kid from high school that never left their hometown.

i like the idea that this team needs to move on from its old ways to get anywhere in the future, the sooner the better. when we re-hired marty, it was a regression back to the old ways. what comes after gettleman for this organization to continue to grow? not fuging marty hurney. we’re retreading over the same old paths that led us to plateau and nowhere else. these last two offseasons haven’t swayed me an inch.

The thing to is that you have to look at their success as a combination. Rivera was a winning coach under Gettleman. Under Hurney, not so much.

Why? I'd say it's because Gettleman and Rivera had complementary strengths and weaknesses. Hurney and Rivera, on the other hand, seem to be weak in some of the same areas.

If we're talking personally, I think Rivera and Hurney are both really nice guys. Unfortunately, I also think neither of them is very good at their jobs, and the combination of the two of them looks a lot more ready to fail than to succeed.

As an aside, if the Giants succeed or fail it will be due to Gettleman and Shurmur as a combination, not just the two of them as individuals. That's how it works.

Hope I'm wrong about Hurney/Rivera, but we'll see.

If Rivera isn't good at his job what does that say about the coaching talent in the NFL? Hurney has his faults and has had bad drafts before and him going along with Richardson to a fault was a major issue last time he was a GM. Also the reason he got rehired in the first place. 

 

The lack of youth from a lack of draft selections under Gettleman was leading this team down a very precarious path. Couple that with the Kalil contract  (god what an awful contract, almost as bad as the Delhomme contract in terms of value and impact) and other blunders.  Had Gettleman been allowed to stay on, I believe we would be in the same spot with needing to retool the defense completely as they just did in this draft and FA.

Im just glad he’s gone, and if we suffer another losing season, I’ll be glad to see Hurney go.

I just want consistency, and neither have shown the ability to build teams that are consistent 

I seriously doubt that Hurney and Rivera will be let go if they have another loosing season. Unless it's just good awful dreadful, probably going to have both back for one last season.

I said it earlier in the off-season, the whole 3-4 switch was either a Tepper move or Rivera buying time. Either way when you commit to a defense change like that it takes time. If the team goes 7-9 or 8-8, maybe even 6-10 depending on the circumstances and they'll be back.

The difference being that if we were in that spot, I would have had some trust in Dave Gettleman to fix it, justified given that he fixed Marty's mess.

I don't trust Marty Hurney anywhere near that much, and that's a judgment that his history justifies as well.

I'm not at all convinced they can survive two losing seasons in a row. if they do, I'd say the fans honeymoon with David Tepper will be unequivocally over.

I also don't buy that Tepper mandated the 3-4 thing. I see that as a desperation move by Rivera.

wow, there are still people who think g'man is a good gm.  wow.  well there's anti-vaxxers and flat earthers so why not.  we haven't yet found the limits of human stupidity.

I don't think it was either, I think it was a Rivera thing because of the success they had running it the last few weeks of the season. 

 

Tepper signed off on it though when they met up in NJ early in the off-season. I'd assume Tepper reasearched this before saying yes, but everyone knows major changes like that take time. 

 

Usually takes 2-3 seasons to fully convert, so I don't see any way he committed to that change not knowing there would be some serious growing pains on defense making that conversion. Also with all the unknowns with Cam's shoulder, I don't think it's completely out of question that both survive another loosing season if the defense improves or shows signs of improvement if something else keeps them from winning. "Say a major injury or Cam's shoulder not being 100%..ext.."

That 2011 draft outside of Newton is "gouge your eyes out" worthy.

The 2012 one other than Luke isn't exactly special either (Joe Adams in particular) but at least it wasn't as bad as the year before.

 

Amini Silatolu was a 2nd round pick (40th pick overall) in the 2012 draft.

I think you'd have to admit though that if they do survive another bad season, fans are going to revolt.

Right now, the two of them both have contracts for two more years. They've done nothing to justify extending those contracts, and I don't have a lot of faith that they will.

There's also a little part of me that wonders if Tepper is just waiting for Kevin Colbert's contract to run out (next year, I think) so that he can try and lure him down here, but that's sheer speculation.

And Cordy Glenn was the very next pick to Buffalo.

This year it was Greg Little in the second, with Cody Ford going the next pick to Buffalo.

I really, really hope this is not a case of history repeating itself.

Oh yeah fans would revolt for sure, I have no doubt about it. Hell some fans revolted when he came back and then was hired full time. (Understandably so and justified as well) I honestly don't think Tepper will be too overly concerned about it with the Dynamics of the team being what it is.

Not so sure. Tepper definitely pays more attention to what fans think than Richardson did. A lot of his marketing moves make that pretty obvious. whether he'd let them affect him to the point of making a football decision is another story, of course.

On the flipside, he also cares about winning. Jerry Richardson didn't care enough about it to fire people that he liked. I'm not sure if that's Tepper or not, but I guess we'll find out.

[Car123]

Gettleman has proven that he cannot win without Rivera.

I've seen your posts. You don't qualify as somebody who "has the slightest bit of football knowledge"... or any of it.

Heck, we know from past experience that you don't even watch the games.

We get it man, you love Gettleman. You think he invented football and your still butthurt they fired him. All you can do at this point is make excuses for his failures
