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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
