Absolutely not. Going to reboot? Start all over. I mean what the hell are you trying to do? It's just stupid. Keeping him is no better than Rivera keeping Washington as DC.

Get fresh eyes. Why keep him? Continuity? Stupid. I like most everything else about the rebuild, but it won't be the fresh start that is needed until you get someone else in here.

Is he really that good that you want to maintain that status quo? Prove it.

All you have to do is read the huddle to get your answer. It's been discussed constantly for the past month and a half. 

Tepper has stated he will bring in someone. Why people panic every other day like this is funny.

Wait and see. 

Or repeat yourselves over and over and over.

Look at it from Teppers point of view. He's got very little experience when it comes to the basic day to day football operations. He very clearly kept Marty as a guy he could lean on through this whole process. Aside from what people say Marty is a pretty likeable guy I seriously doubt he will have the final say on decisions when it comes to the rebuild of the roster and coaching staff. I'm sure he'll give his input and scouting expertise but that's really it. He was definitely leaned on a great deal with getting Matt Rhule in the building. Hes also experienced in the scouting department both college/professional. I'm sure we'll be adding a new GM/Assistant GM very soon. As long as Marty isn't throwing money/draft picks away hes relatively harmless.

Marty isn’t in control of many aspects of the rebuild.  However, he is staying on because Tepper is so enamored with his “eye for college talent.”  That signals we are going young and doing it quickly.  I for one want no part of him building a roster and hope we bring in several people to check him.  The late rounds of the draft are more important than ever.  We can’t have him missing on multiple picks.

Everybody is crying over Luke and cam and TD about how RR waisted their career well who drafted these guys..... MARTY HURNEY so with that being said yes I trust Marty in finding new replacements BUT it’s not like there is a bunch of Luke’s out there growing on trees, he was a special player.

Marty drafted those guys but that’s 3 guys over how many  years? The reason those guys do not have a ring or two is partially Hurney’s failure to add enough talent around them. 

If you trust Hurney, what you are doing is focusing on the few talents he did acquire and overlooking his long list of failed picks/ moves.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
