Remember when people laughed at the idea that Hurney was a better GM than Fitt?

Not nearly as funny anymore. 

Hasn't been funny for years.

 

Hurney's track record of first rounders was so good and we're sorely missing it now

Nah, it's still funny.

That said, Hurney didn't sabotage his own head coach,.so there's that.

While Hurney was no savant, he was a better GM and built better teams than Fit has. And Hurney could make trades that benefited us. Fitterer is the kind of guy that has salesmen falling all over themselves to get to him first at the car lot. He's a total rube, a mark, a sucker.

And believe me, there are soooo many better options out there than either of those guys. How could we not have stumbled across one by accident even???

Hurney was here a lot longer and did over a decade worth of damage. I'd add that hitting on first rounders is a lot easier when the sh-tty roster you built last year keeps getting you high draft picks.

He also had no accountability. It was well known that he was GM for life as long as Richardson was in charge. If not for the jeans day scandal he'd likely have been here right up till Richardson passed.

One of the biggest things you have to remember though is he was a big part of why we ended up with Matt Rhule.

The immense damage Rhule did is partially Hurney's fault, and that tips the scales for me.

Ownership.

Richardson believed in Hurney. Hell, he even fired a guy with a much better record so he could bring him back.

Tepper waited too long to fire Hurney then forced his next hire to work under Rhule.

It’s like people forget that Marty was here before Matt and Matt was here before Scott.

Keeping Marty was the first domino.

We didn't "repeatedly get high draft picks". 7-9 was our floor for most of Hurney's tenure. Three of our best picks, Chris Gamble Jon Beason and DeAngelo Williams, were late first-rounders.

Hasn't been easy for Fitterer.  Hurney wasn't a good GM, but he did much better than Fitterer.

Hurney at least had an eye for talent. He was about as boom or bust as it got. His hits were home runs. His whiffs were catastrophic.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
