MARTY HURNEY FIRED

There is more to his firing than just the draft, if he signed off on bridgewater than that alone is a fireable offense  

Why?

Bridgewater is NOWHERE near as bad as people make out and he's on an affordable two year contract. You don't fire a GM over that. 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Tepper has publicly stated that one of the reasons Marty isn't here anymore is because he didn't "align" with Matt Rhule very well. He's also mentioned that Marty was very old school and resistant to new processes that the team wanted to implement.

It's not hard to look at those statements and figure that Marty wasn't comfortable with Matt Rhule having as much power as he did.

Hurney was basically King of Everything under Jerry Richardson, and per his own words, he liked it that way. Being part of a power structure rather than being at the top of it probably didn't sit well with him.

Thus, he's now no longer involved in it at all.

If you can't tell the new staff had more control of the last draft than Hurney, you haven't been paying any attention to this team for almost 2 decades.

How many months should this thread be pinned?

It should be enshrined forever as a testament to our pain.

Once a new GM is hired delete this thread and never see or speak his name again in this forum.

I agree with unpinning, but I don't think many people would want it deleted.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm trying to find the exact quote, but I remember some months back Matt Rhule said something like he'd just as soon work with Marty Hurney as anybody.

I guess that one goes under the same category as "I can't wait to work with Cam Newton" and "(player we're about to cut) is doing a fine job".

Y’all are going above and beyond to prove this Skelton theory that Rhule is responsible for the 2020 draft class 

If the 2020 draft class have a bad 2021 season, it will be 100% Hurney picks.

@Jeremy Igo, can we get a filter on "Hurney"?

Something like "He who must not be named" or "Bad Man" or "3 winning seasons in 14 years"?

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

Just listened to the Tepper presser on releasing Hurney. 

When asked about his differences with Hurney, he stated that they have different approaches to evaluation. For example, how does a player perform in the 4th quarter or on 2 minute drives.

Does anyone else feel like this is a clear shot at Hurney's evaluation of Teddy Bridgewater?

[Rocky Davis]

I'm hoping the WTFs hire Hurney and reunite Dumb and Dumber......then with their QB situation shaky at best D&D will trade us a 3rd rounder for Groundwater.

A man can dream, can't he?
