But I was told Hurney was just a glorified radio host, a fool who never got any job offers and no one in the league took seriously

Seems like he's pretty in demand by those who know him

 

By one guy! Ron Rivera. No one else wants Marty. He didn’t get a sniff when we let him go the first time. And if he’s so in demand with people who know him, why didn’t John Fox try taking him when he left? Hurney sucks. Ron can have him now.

We're talking about Rivera, thus the same could be said of Eric Washington, John Matsko and others.

Rivera didn't hire Washington to be DC, he hired Del Rio (who is well qualified)

Rivera was there first hand when Hurney drafted Cam, drafted Luke, turned the Panthers into a Super Bowl team.  Not surprising he'd want him back on board.

David Tepper as well

Basically, anyone who has been around the guy

I sure hope Tepper, Rhule and whoever else is brought into the fold will reign Hurney in during FA and the draft. 

Hurney sucks after round 1. We have 3 picks in the top 70 currently and can't let Hurney F this up by drafting some DL that he wants to convert to LT. Also in FA.

I am encouraged by what I've read of Rhule's success in recruiting raw but talented (and speedy) players and developing them to compete.  Hopefully, Rhule can help temper Hurney in rounds 2-7 and, between them, the Panthers can come away with one of the best drafts in 2020.

I really don’t think Tepper counts. He’s likely sticking with Hurney until his buddy Colbert from the Steelers becomes available. No point in letting Hurney go and then signing another GM when the guy you want will be available in a year. He and Hurney have already done work towards this draft.

He's pretty much king of the Redskins right now, and they have front office jobs coming open.

If we're willing to let him go (and there are definite indications) then yeah, it's possible.

Marty has to feel that the door might be closing here.

In demand by a coach who clearly seems not to have learned anything by his firing and the failures that led to it. Ron saying at his final press conference that “Figures lie and liars figure.” was galling for a coach who rejects analytics but whose inflexibility and predictability over time was so obviously part and parcel of his downfall. Given that his response to being quickly rehired by an owner who has made his franchise a laughingstock of bad decisions has been to set about trying to recreate as nearly as possible the staff that produced rank mediocrity over the past several seasons, I don’t think we ought to be holding up Rivera as some sort of paragon of decision making.

If he hires Hurney away from us, it will only prove he’s stuck in denial about the people running the show here being responsible for the results, and the results are why he got fired. Remember the definition of insanity? Right now, RR is making himself exhibit A.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
