That was the rumored deal where Richardson told Herniay to fire RR and for the first time he said "no". Herniay took the bullet.....but the owner wanted you gone.....does my key card still works for each passing day type of feels...

Person, Voth, Gantt and others have pretty much confirmed that story.

Richardson wanted to fire Rivera, but Hurney offered to fall on the sword to save him. Richardson agreed. Why? Not sure anybody knows except I guess Marty convinced him.

Prior to that, Hurney had worked for years without a contract. Gantt had said numerous times that Marty was "GM for life" if he wanted to be, so something like this was about the only way you were going to get him out of there.

When he came back, a lot of us knew the interim tag was bullsh-t. It was just a matter of time before he got the permanent job.

Heck, if not for the scandals that took down Richardson, Marty might still be the GM today.

The fact that there's been such little effort to force him out by other owners is telling that they really don't care about anything that isn't truly an NFL across the board issue.  JR was a guy they knew they could push out in the wake of his scandal to open things up for Tepper who they all wanted to let into their circle next.  Navarro never stood a chance.

Snyder should've been forced out well before he changed the Skins/WFT into this atrocity that's name still just sounds so off.  

 

Yeah, Washington should be stuck with Tepper. Not us. What could have been…

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
