Anyone see a pattern?? Ron never has been able to hold on to a job long. Yes he has had 9 interviews and that's mainly because of the Rooney rule. We were the only team dumb enough to actually hire him. Boy that's paying off nicely.

He was a good (NOT great) DC who we thought could make the transition to being the head guy. We were wrong. We can't be wrong again this go round. If we strike out on the next GM/HC hire, we'll be doomed to a repeat of our last 7 years. Let that sink in for a moment. We've been a joke, a laughing stock, a bottom feeder since '05. We are now that team that everyone else points to and says, "Well, at least we're not THOSE guys. LOL!"

Sigh...

Like CRA said, thats about as normal a resume there is to expect when HC consideration is discussed. What I'm blow away with is what made Hurney sign the guy (who at this point was passed over by SEVERAL teams before coming here)

However, thats to be expected with Hurney. Sign garbage and hope they turn into diamonds.

Nakamura is a perfect example of Hurney's ineptitude.

The only "job change" he had that wasn't a promotion was the move from Chicago to San Diego. And to be clear, that happened not because of bad performance, but because Lovie Smith wanted to give the job to 'his guy' (Bob Babich).

Although it isn't working out now, Rivera's resume' pre-Panthers was as good as anyone's. It was a perfectly reasonable hire.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
