Marty Hurney is NOT the new Washington GM

[Moo Daeng]

This is a sad day for the obsessed  Huddle Hurney Creepers. 

Surprise,  bloggers and pod casters looking at Twitter are not always good reporters 

[Mr. Scot]

PFT chimes in...

So I guess Marty will be the General Manager and Martin Mayhew will be the General Manager Manager.

Makes perfect sense...

[Cpt slay a ho]

Some of y’all gonna let that hurney hate go with you to the grave, that can’t be good health wise.

again good for hurney

MARTY HURNEYFO, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports ex-Panthers GM Marty Hurney is joining the Washington Football Team's front office, but not as general manager. 

Per Rapoport, Hurney will "have a high-ranking role in the front office." The top role is going to ex-Lions GM Martin Mayhew. That's a lot of experience and brainpower in a front office that has been desperately low on both of late, though it could make for a confused command structure, something that has been staple under owner Daniel Snyder. Hurney and coach Ron Rivera's long history together could create a temptation to work independently of Mayhew. Rivera has seemed to know what he's doing as he's seized the reins in Washington, but every best-laid plan under Snyder has eventually come to ruin. 

I think I might want Hurney over any Lion's GM.

This is a handout job.  A hook up.  He will be in charge of gravity.

this capacity still sounds dumb

not as dumb as anointing him your GM, but still dumb

So I was right earlier.

Marty is getting the title of GMb, General Meatballer.

Actually I read somewhere Marty will be heading up managing WFT's salary cap.

Here's some irony for ya...

Martin Mayhew was one of the three sham Rooney Rule interviews that  Jerry Richardson used to "comply" with the rule before hiring Marty.

Now, per LaCanfora, one of the reasons listed for giving Mayhew the GM position instead of Marty is that the new rules give the Redskins a 3rd round pick for making him the GM rather than Marty.

Not a bad PR plan when a sizable portion of the country consider your franchise so racist that they take away your name.

What value does Hurney bring?

I'm serious - I've never been able to work out his skill set. It's not cap management, contract negotiations or talent evaluation. 

He absolutely needs to do a Master Class on YouTube focused on either blackmail or kissing ass....not sure which he was really good at, but it was one of the two.

[Mr. Scot]

Mayhew has been officially announced as GM on the team Twitter.

Still haven't seen an exact word on  Marty's hire or what his title is supposed to be.

Executive vp of football/player personal is Marty's title for WFT

Now that is interesting.

In isolation "General Manager" is nothing more than 2 words printed on a business card...

...it's entirely possible Snyder gave the "GM" title to Mayhew in order to secure that draft pick while creating another position (call it COO of Football Ops) to whom the GM reports. 

Aaaahh, the law of unintended consequences...

...illogical knee jerk policy decisions always create unintended consequences.
