Just to play devils advocate and say that the team announces next Friday that they have hired Beane as the new gm . Would you be pissed they fired Hurney?

Remember if JR hadnt fired Hurney it might not have lit the fire under Riveras ass and he might have lost more games and been shown the door this past Monday.. Just curious because I never did understand the Hurney firing in mid season.

We have a lot of "death by hunga bunga" threads lately.

Firing Marty Hurney was absolutely the right decision.

Hiring Brandon Beane over guys who are infinitely more qualified would be an unforgivably stupid one.

Why was firing Hurney midseason the right decision? Im seriously interested in a cogent answer and youre one of the few posters here who could give one.

Take a look over Hurney's prior drafts and free agency decisions for the past five years or so.

He should have been let go sooner.

And to be clear, midseason GM firings aren't as big a deal as midseason coach firings because most of their work is done in the offseason. Firing him after week six and hiring Accorsi shortly thereafter meant Accorsi had plenty of time to do his work,

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
