Not Bill, his son.

Interesting in that Washington now not only has the Panthers former GM but also the son of their original GM.

Heck, they even got a guy who was a candidate to replace Hurney at one point. All they're missing is Jerry Richardson having an ownership stake.

Also this note from JP Finlay on Mayhew...

If everything you know about Chris Polian is that he's Bill's son, you're on par with most people.

Chris took over for his dad as Colts GM in 2009. Didn't go so well. He was fired two years later and there were several reports that he created a toxic culture.

Why did they hire Hurney again?  It seems like they are undercutting him with every front office hire.  Seemingly a cushy job as more people are brought on board and have his duties delegated away.  Ron's personal emotional support coordinator?

What I find funny is that Marty and the Polians are at very opposite ends of the emotional spectrum.

Marty is generally considered to be a nice guy (some might say "pushover") who tends to remain cool and doesn't make enemies. On the flipside, once during a particularly contentious negotiation, Bill Polian picked up a chair and threw it at an agent. 

Pretty sure there was also a story that Chris threw a punch at someone in the Colts stadium, a reporter if memory serves. That might also have been Bill but I think it was Chris or at the very least Chris was involved.

Jerry Richardson reportedly used to write the word "CALM" in big letters on a piece of paper and flash it at Polian during meetings and negotiations at times when it looked like he was starting to lose it. The contrast in styles between Richardson's southern cool and Polian's Northeast attitude was said to be one of the reasons why they parted ways. Then Richardson hired Dave Gettleman (and ultimately parted ways with him too).

Rivera, Hurney, and Polian Jr. all working for Dan Snyder.

Get the popcorn out boys, this will be fun to watch.

Not to worry. They also have a GM in the middle of everything who can help sort it all out.

(specifically, the GM who built the Lions team that went 0-16) 😕

That organization and it's style of football is really going to take the 90's by storm. 

I normally try to accept all possibilities, but if that team is anything but a grade A sh-t show I'm seriously gonna wonder how.

I suppose they could consult with the Dark Prince but I think he's busy trying to help Belichick with his rebuild right now.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
