Is it a given Hurney will be back?

Tepper made a comment about Hurney's (cough cough gag gag) talent evaluation which could imply that he'll be back. 

Seems many believe he will be back because of the draft posts I've read lately.

IMO Tepper needs to move on from everything associated with Richardson. Hurney has always picked well in the first round but after that questionable is the word to describe Hurney

I agree, but i didnt pay billions of dollars for the franchise.  My opinion means nothing, only Tepper knows what will happen with Marty

Can't remember if this expression exist in English, but literal translation from Swedish world "Canned up och to the side". 

That's what Tepper sounded like he was trying to do. 

The problem is you can't get an GM first and a HC later because all good once will be hired the first week.

They got McCarthy in because he is unemployed.  I would not be surprised if they fire Hurney on black Monday.  

I would not be surprised if Tepper conducted the HC interviews himself because as you said if they wait they'll lose a good coach. Then again he might already have someone in mind.

Good, Bad or indifferent Tepper needs to cut ties with the old regime.  Hurney might a great talent evaluator but that doesn't mean he'll be a great drafter.

Hurney will be here through this next draft. All possible GM candidates are under contract until after the draft. Firing Hurn now would mean going into the draft without a GM. 
 

Tepper said he is conducting the coach search himself with the help of others in the panthers organization. Hurn was NOT mentioned as one of those people.

Even if Hurn stays, his role will change due to the new COO and assistant GM positions being created.

To sum it up, I think Hurn is still here because Tepper can’t get the guy he wants until after the draft. The “greatest talent evaluator” comment was just Tepper pumping Hurney up. You don’t want a guy in a key position like that Mentally checking out because he thinks he’s weeks away from being fired.

Hurney isn't, and wasn't that bad. Some folks have obviously never been in a management position.  You dont make that level of money and job title over decades is you are not performing. 

And THIS point is what fans dont get. GM job is to manage the organization that is making the owner MONEY!  That is the job. Too many people have it confused that win = money.  No  way! Our organization has been losing more than winning....but the BUSINESS made money.  

Dont hate on Hurney because the team sucks. That's not his job. His job was in the past, and will be now to make the owner MONEY. JR wasnt forced out as a poor man. I wont google the numbers but he came out in the green by a lot. Same with Tepper. Homers here thought an owner cared about wins? LOL...he cares about money and so far even int he worst season in years...hes making money!





 

Sanjay, is that you

you must not understand the job which is the topic of this thread.  I can't blame you however as few seem to grasp a GM's job is to make the owner money. Coaches make their name and resume on wins.  GM's make their name and resume on how much the owner made. 

It is sad how few realize this

That's great but generally that's not what fans want or give a poo about, hence the rancor about Hurney possibly sticking around.  If the sole purpose of a GM is to make money than why was he fired the first time?  If he did such a great job making Jerry Richardson money (I don't know how reliable this site is but the value of the franchise roughly doubled from the start of his tenure to 2012) why wasn't he hired to another GM gig?  I'm sure he would have rather done that than talk radio.

Maybe you're confused and think this is a fantasy management forum where we get all wound up and excited over balance sheets.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
