Not sure why he's considered tainted. 

Seems qualified.

It's not really a judgement on his qualifications. More of a wanting there to be another and more independent voice in the room, not a guy who comes from the Hurney tree. It's speculative fear, for sure.

Pretty sure the man will have his own opinions and voice. I'm not against it being somebody else, but the guy is qualified.

Be careful with David Newton

If we make that hire, it will be the sign that this is Hurney's team. Let's call it what it is. 

Wow. 

As in, let's hire someone who's less likely to wanna kick my ass out the door.

That said, Kirchener has a qualified resume'.

Shocker, y'all. David Newton's reporting on this is being second-guessed by another Panthers beat writer.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm looking at Newton's Twitter right now and I don't see it. Did he take it down, perhaps?

Nobody else is confirming it either.

But we’ve been told that it’s not Hurney’s fault that we’ve sucked the past two years he’s been at the helm. SMH. I just can’t believe he’s snowed Tepper too. His drafts have been awful for the past 12 years. I don’t care about pre-2008, that’s ancient freaking history and the past two drafts look terrible right now which is why our OL is meh and our D is about the worst in the league.

don’t you understand? it’s always somebody else’s fault completely when hurney doesn’t do a good job.

LOL. What a joke.

I'll plead ignorant here......I don't follow the GM position much.....can you site examples or reasons why Hurney is such a bad egg to keep around?

I'm not defending him, I just don't know why he panics everyone so much here..........

Plead your case to me so I can understand all the negative comments on this board about him..

Google the following...

- Panthers draft history

- Panthers free agent history

- Panthers win-loss record

Look at each of those since 2002, excluding 2013 to 2017 .
