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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
