https://www.panthers.com/news/david-tepper-interview-transcript-ron-rivera-head-coach

Here is a transcript of the interview on panthers.com. Nowhere does it give only qualified praise for Hurney or suggest big changes to the GM position. In fact the new VP is discussed as linking the football to business side and giving Hurney help so he can focus on the football side. You can post all the articles you want trying to whip up theories about limiting Hurney but the official site which is controlled by Tepper and the Panthers debunks the notion that Hurney isn't doing a good job and that his role will be limited. Now at 63 Hurney might not be the long term solution and Tepper could be holding back bigger changes for down the road, but all this talk about Hurney being demoted or limited seems to be a few folks reading into things what they want to happen. At least not at the present time.

I've seen the video. It's in plain view and obvious.

I think it’s entirely possible that while Tepper isn’t demoting Hurney he is bringing in more people on equal footing so that Hurney isn’t the only guy with the final word on personnel beyond himself. This would decfacto be a dilution of his power but would not be a demotion.

I also think that now that a businessman like Tepper has evaluated our FO and found it undermanned, it’s possible one of the reasons Hurney’s track record in the draft has been solid 1st rounders but underwhelming beyond that is that his staff lacked enough qualified bodies to do the thousands of man hours needed to evaluate prospects beyond the top 30 or so. If that’s the case, retaining Hurney but having others focus on other aspects of gm work like contracts and adding his skills to a larger overall team could be successful.

There’s also new processes I want to bring in,” Tepper said. “I think the modern football organization needs a couple of people there. If I was looking in the future, if I’m looking at the manager in the future and looking up at who’s going to be there in the future and Marty is more senior, if I brought somebody else in, it could be a potential GM.”

This isn't difficult.

You found a source that barely discusses the position at all and want to run with that? Okay.

And how does Tepper's "Marty Hurney is an incredible... Well, let's not give him that kind of compliment. He's a very good" comment from the original press conference fit into this narrative?

Isn't the position Assistant GM. Isn't that a GM? Taking 4 words and creating a dialogue around it is the same think religious folks do when they quote one verse of the Bible and make an hour long discussion  instead of using the larger context of the whole book. And you are right. It isn't difficult to pick a few words and make it mean whatever you want.

I think they’re gonna hire someone in that assistant GM/VP role to groom as Hurneys replacement. I’m thinking for next year.

Hurney has to do this draft because they’ve been scouting all this year. Although if he found someone who was scouting all this year he may pull the trigger on Hurney or reassign to something else. 
 

im wondering if we’re looking at Colbert at all because we wouldn’t be putting someone of his stature in an assistant position. Maybe Tepper has a role for him in mind or nothing at all. Maybe Colbert is backing out of the NFL all together.

 

all signs point to this being a collaborative effort tho

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
