Last thing this team needs on top of everything else is an internal power struggle.

I seriously doubt there'll be one.

Tepper is probably gonna define those roles pretty clearly. And I'd add the org chart CBD posted above is probably accurate.

COO being the new Vice President of Football Operations position.

Definitely sounds like Marty might no longer be the guy with final say on the roster.

It’s been confirmed that the Asst GM and VP of football ops is the same job and in all likelihood will be below the GM in the hierarchy.

Unless Hurney gets a demotion he stays at the top of the food chain for football decisions which I wouldn’t put past Tepper.

Again though, Tepper didn't say Marty was remaining as GM.

Why not just say that?

Yeah, which I posted, but I think this thread is more about what people were hoping to hear rather than what was said.

Not just an analytics guys, one of the five best performing hedge fund managers of the past two decades.  Tepper is a legend on Wall Street, a guy seen as having the golden eye for recognizing undervalued assets.

I've been saying for a years that Hurney has one of the best draft records of any general manager over the past 30 years in the NFL.  He has literally drafted more Pro Bowlers than anyone in the league over his tenure.

I'm glad someone as brilliant as Tepper was able to recognize this, despite the irrational mob of Panthers fans who lack analytical abilities and obsess over a few mid round picks that Hurney missed (as if it's possible to draft in the middle rounds without missing on a lot of prospects).

Hurney is the 2nd best drafter in in the NFL over the past 20 years (Ozzie Newsome).  He might be the best 1st round drafter in NFL history (and despite what people think, hitting on big name talent is by far more important than anything else).

Didn't know Mrs.  Hurney posted here. Welcome.

This is what I am banking on. 

The team has underwhelmed for two years straight and even with Hurney's magic picks we still found ourselves in the stinker. Now your boss has hired "guys to work under you". In my opinion that can easily turn to "guys who are there to replace you" if you lay another stinker. I think Hurney is on a short leash.

I don't think he's on a short leash but could be wrong.  Tepper sounded genuinely appreciative of Marty and his ability in his current role.  And I, as was Darin Gantt, under the impression that the role he was describing for the incoming VP/Asst. GM was the same role Brandon Beane held previously, which was working under Hurney as the eventual successor.

That doesn't sound like a subservient relationship.

I never got the impression it was.  I thought he described it as complementary, but I got the sense he could be the eventual successor from what he described.  But, yes, it sounded like a very collaborative relationship.

Successor is possible.

Marty does only have one year left on his contract.

Marty is going to be involved in the hiring process of the assistant gm position that's being added per Joe Person. 

 

I'm also under the impression he will also be involved with the coaching search as well.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Absolutely. If we are talking about a 20 year old youngster. He's a grown-ass man, and he doesn't know what his job entails or how to do it? Maybe he will be better next year! It's the Panther way.
