I forget who, but someone said Marty is a really good salesman, especially skilled at selling himself.

Apparently, Tepper just isn't smart enough to see through it.

Heinz ketchup will do that to you.

Tepper/Hurney:  "So, you think you can lose a Super Bowl once every decade?"

Coaching candidate: "Uh, um, yeah I guess?"

Tepper/Hurney: "You're hired"

Pretty much.

Apparently some members of our fanbase have some extremely low standards.

Ron Rivera wore out his welcome here, and deserved to be fired, but he was a 2 time coach of the year

To cite him as a blunder in hiring a coach is a bit of a stretch.

If you want to just say he rode the coat tails of a talented roster, well then you have to give Hurney his due for constructing that roster.  Can't have it both ways with that.

 

Hurney didn’t construct any of the winning rosters in the past decade. He acquired pieces but he didn’t construct any winning roster, remember a football team is 53 players not 5.

Look at the stats of Rivera/Gettleman to the stats of Rivera/Hurney.  It’s like night and day.

Now say it with me. Hurney hasn’t constructed a winning roster since 2008. Since then he had a combined win/loss percentage of .341.

Again, pretty much.

Remember, somebody sold Jim Haslam on the idea of drafting Johnny Manziel.

Here’s the thing: Hurney is McCarthy. Both with some highlights of success. Both fired for valid underperformance measures. Both being touted as good stories because they’ve “learned from their mistakes and EVOLVED.”

Do people not realize how bad McCarthy was when Aaron Rodgers was hurt? Do people not realize how bad McCarthy was, at times, when Aaron Rodgers was healthy?

Go back and watch the end of the 2014 NFC title game. 

The richest owner in the league should be able to do better than Marty Hurney and Mike McCarthy. And again, if Cam is not here next year, what the hell makes this job so damn attractive?

Sorry, just being real here.

Now sat it with me. Hurney hasn’t constructed a winning roster since 2008. Since then he had a combined win/loss percentage of .341. 

So let me get this right, Ron Rivera rode the coat tails of Trai Turner, Corey Brown, and Kurt Coleman to 2 coach of the year achievements (and not Cam Newton, Greg Olsen, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, Josh Norman, Greg Hardy, Jonathan Stewart, etc).

Great logic.

Ron Rivera must have been the best coach of all time to ride the coat tails of Trai Turner and Kurt Coleman to the Super Bowl.

Hurney's been in this thing since 2002.  At this point, you can basically consider his absence here from 2013-2017 an extended vacation.  He was involved in football operations prior to his formal acquisition of the GM title, too.  To paraphrase an offensive guru and coach famous for his adjustments and adaptability, he is what he is.  Hurney is not going to wake up one day and know how to build a roster that consistently wins and contends for championships year after year.  He's the Jeff Fisher of GMs.

7 people isn’t enough to even take the field. 46 more people are needed. How are you not understanding that? Depth matters.

Jeff Fisher is a pretty good analogy.

I swear if I complained as much as some of you, I'd seriously go find another team.

By golly you're right. These last two seasons have just been so much fun to watch.

Can't wait for more of this

So Ron Rivera was 2 time coach of the year because of depth pieces G-Man acquired?

Man, Rivera must have been twice the coach any of us ever realized

I never realized how integral Fozzy Whitaker, Cameron Artis Payne, Corey Brown, Cortland Finnegan, and Brentson Bersin were, until now.  I've had had a revelation about it all now.
