so now what?

[rayzor]

i'm happy and terrified all at once with hurney gone.

happy because it should have been done when fox left and now we can go forward finally(hopefully).

but there's still these concerns...

who's going to take hurney's place?

who's going to do the hiring? JR? sorry...love the old guy but i don't exactly trust him personnel-wise and danny morrison is a newb to the NFL.

are we going to be sticking to "the plan" on team building?

just how much of a house cleaning is going to go on?

does this put the panthers in even more of a tailspin and does this effect cam's desire to stick around when it's time for a new contract? can we get the stability and winning culture we should have in the next year or two?

someone hold me....

now we just sit back and wait

Honestly

I dont fuging know

If nothing else, Hurney's firing should put the rest of the coaching staff and front office on notice that they've pretty much reached the end of their rope in terms of making progress towards fielding a competitive team. If things don't shape up in short order, I don't think anyone would be surprised to see Mr. Richardson clean house - tear it all down and start from scratch! This season is done anyway.

[rayzor]

the problem with cleaning house mid season is who the crap are you going to find to fill the empty spots?

I dont see it happening until we get a GM

Bill Polian... Welcome back!

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

Agreed, timing is just really weird. Lot of national guys thinking the same thing.

Big Money aint happy, nobody happy

Marty wasn't the reason we are losing! That's bs! Unbelievable! Marty might be the realist GM that I know #InMyMind BS BS BS BS!

[UNCrules2187]

Timing is weird and I'm afraid any respectable candidate will see how Hurney was abruptly fired in the middle of the season and shy away from the job..

Then again, Hurney held onto his job for what, nearly 14 years?

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Players will sign with Hurney b/c he overpaid to keep them, namely CJ and Dwill.

I wonder who controls our draft now?

I would have fired Rivera first and chud

Bill Polian... Welcome back!

I'd be down with that. Polian was a great GM as I remember him.

Look for director of player personnel Brandon Beane, the director of football operations, to take over as interim GM until one is hired.
