What if RR goes and Hurney stays

[lovelett]

What happens than.... Hurney has gotten us some studs and appears to be a better GM without Mr Bojangles. What say the huddle? I think Hurney is doing well....

They sun will continue to rise in the East and set in the West.

Going into the season I thought that is what will happen.  I think Hurney addresses the team needs and doesn’t overpay or reach for talent.  The only pick I had a problem with was Will Grier and supposedly that was by Turner.

I have been in the keep hurney camp for awhile.  The more I think about it tho, if we are going to start with a new Coach might as well start the process with a GM Tepper chooses.

If Hurney is here, he IS the GM Tepper chooses.

Hurney isn't likely to be leaving regardless of what happens with Ron.

The man is useless.  Why keep him?

Hurney has certainly shown very different tendancies in this go around as our GM.  A couple more years of this and he's likely to be seen as a legit GM in his own right.  It certainly appears that JR was having a much greater hand in personnel decisions than was made obvious at the time.

He's doing fine. He's officially shown he's back to analytical Hurney & not so much emotionally dedicated Hurney, releasing old vets. Though signing TD back would've been a-ok with me. The guy's in the top 7 in tackles so far.

Releasing Cam or not will definitely show whether Hurney is analytical Marty or emotional Marty.

This is a very complex question for the huddle most people be like

Honestly I say clean house. If we lose Rivera that means that we don't make the playoffs and we most likely don't have a winning record. That would be yet another non-winning season on Hurney's resume, and that's not great. 

In my personal opinion with the value of hindsight, Hurney has too many one year deals on quality starters this year, instead of 1 year "Prove it" deals like Gettleman used to do with mid-tier/lesser known commodities that he identified as potential fits for our system. Specifically with Irvin, McCoy, Boston, and (to a lesser extent) Daryl Williams. Most if not all of those guys are going to want long term deals this offseason, but who of those can we afford to keep in addition to Bradberry AND Shaq? Half of our defensive starters are set to be free agents next year (including Mario Addison), and that's poor asset planning for the future (in my opinion at least). 

This doesn't include guys like Cockrell, Butler, Love, and Obada who have proven to be quality depth for us this year. 

Not to mention the two long term deals that he actually did give out to Reid and Paradis last offseason have kind of been flops so far. 

We've seen 14 years of Marty Hurney as GM. It peaked in 2003. It's way past time we moved on.

Both are mediocre so unfortunately one will stay. Both have had success with out the other.

I was very anti-Hurney in the past and thought it was ridiculous when he was brought back, but I've changed my tune - probably because Hurney has changed his.

He's a better GM than he was before, and I don't have any real complaints. I'd like to see him stick - as unbelievable as that would have been for me to say in the past. Seriously, I can't believe I'm saying that, lol.

Nope no thank you . Clean house please
