Agreed.  Rivera was ripped for his nepotism, but this is shaping up to be the same type of situation all over again.  Maybe these guys will actually perform, but it's not a good look to just hire all of your buddies with no experience.

Does it really matter who they hire if whoever it is still reports to Hurney ?

VP position was supposed to be all about pro scouting/cap management

I thought we hired a capologist for the cap?

My comment was based on Tepper's presser in December.  That was how he described the new position.  But we have always had a financial guy on staff, the previous one left to go with Rivera.

Any one else getting the feeling that there are going to be too many cooks making the soup next season ?

Without More information, it sounds like keeping Hurney forced us to go with someone even less qualifies than him. Yikes, entering nightmare territory and could be a couple of years of bleakness.

Yeah... this is a little disheartening. Stop with the fugging Baylor for Chrissakes

According to his LinkedIn profile, he has a BA in accounting and a MS in Higher Education Admin.

Hurney is surrounding himself with people who won’t takeover for him. Sounds like a bad hire and Hurney’s going to be here a long time. SMH.

I don't know that I put this all on Hurney. It is another Baylor guy, so I am gonna guess this one is on Rhule.

This is one hire I don't like at all.  I'm ok with the college coaches because coaching football & leadership translates.  This VP position was supposed to be all about pro scouting/cap management and allow Marty to focus on college scouting.  Padden has 0 experience in the NFL/scouting/salary cap management.

 

And he will be reporting directly to the Man, the Myth, the Legend himself. It seems as though Marty is still firmly entrenched as the GM of the Panthers for the foreseeable future. Hes the only one with real experience in the league in the FO except for maybe the President? Hard to see him getting replaced at this point

TD and Olsen crying to Daddy Jerruh for extensions and getting GMan fired looks worse and worse every season

The Carolina Baylors...the most buddy buddy team since sliced bread!

I see the Rhule tie but it's keeping Hurney that disqualified us from beinging in a star like Berry or the NE guy to land this guy. In the end, it is all Tepper's fault. I would have liked to see Rhule get a good shot at succedding but that may be going down the drain with another bad move.
