Jeeeeeeeezus Christ 

What the He11 has Hurney done to Tepper.

 

 

 

[sml1950]

Luv it...luv it..luv it........

Named Fewell  interim HC Which will will meet Rooney Rule when he is interviewed for full time HC....Names Scott OC and gives him 4 games to show if he is the next son of a coach(like Mcvie) to leapfrog into a HC role. He’s playing chess, not checkers.

Great talent evaluator

 

The same guy who hasnt listened to his scouts because he LOVED guys like Jimmy Clausen, Gaulden, etc.

Every GM misses...he has been good.  Hard to deny.  Now...his soft, player friendly demeanor is something I seriously question as a GM.

I’m not a Hurney guy but the dude may have drafted two league MVPs on this same roster. Say what you want, but that’s definitely something you take notice of 

And how many Super Bowls have we won because we have such a complete roster?

[LUUUUUKE]

Armanti Edwards specifically says HELLO....SMDH...

This looks like it’s going to be painful. Marty needs to go. He could have drafted CMC and then Dalvin Cook, and instead picked up Curtis Samuel...

 

oh man oh man oh man.

 

that line about only accepting excellence? Maybe Ron knew the moment Cam hung me up for the season that this one was lost and he was going to use this year to evaluate the entire team.

 

id like to think that there was a legitimate conversation between Tepper and Ron about where things were honestly and the future. Marty likely had his own ideas and those conflicted with Ron’s, and for that reason he was fired.

(Complete Speculation)

 

im shocked by  a lot in this interview. He could have said that he’s a phenomenal coach and he fired him early so that he could land somewhere else, he could have said we just needed a change of pace or a new vision.

 

i think what Tepper didn’t say spoke more to how he viewed Ron than what he did say. I smell a personality conflict here. Tepper may be trying to take a more Jerry Jones”esque” approach and Ron likely told him to kick rocks, I know football and this team. 
 

who knows fellas, who knows. I’m sure more will come out.

You kids need to grow up a bit

How many teams have won a super bowl in the last fugging decade? We must be the only ones, huh? 

Oh wait. No. Well I guess by your logic then, there must only be 4 competent GMs in the entire fugging league, huh?

Honestly the way that’s phrased makes it seem like Hurney could be moved to the scouting department while we hire or groom a new HC.  Wouldn’t be a terrible move 

Yeah, his wording seemed REALLY specific.

I really thought I'd be excited the day that Ron Rivera was no longer head coach of the Carolina Panthers.  But after watching that clip, hearing what he has to say about Hurney, just the whole thing I don't know what to think.  Marty is safe and Tepper I think is a meddler.  I'll continue to watch, but, I really don't get good vibes from any of this and am not too optimistic going forward

This is pretty much how I feel right now.

Ish happens. Ozzie Newsome drafted Boller.  Ted Thompson drafted Brian Brohm
