How long do we give Gettlemen to turn things around?

It's been a really long time since this fan base has had to deal with a new General Manager and a new way of doing business. We are definitely going to see some big changes this summer, contracts will be terminated, and potentially a new philosophy during the draft (i.e. players that can play their positions). Hurney did some great things in the draft and brought in some decent free agents without breaking the bank. But his screw ups outside the first round of the draft as well as dealing future picks, huge contracts to aging stars, and the inability to find players at certain positions (Wide Receiver, Defensive Tackle) made us grow weary of his decision making. Despite Hurney's success, we quickly turned on him in the last few years, albeit warranted. My question is how long does Gettlemen get before we begin to question his ability to make us a winner?

What do you want accomplished? What will be considered a huge failure? How long is his grace period last? 1 year? Two years? Does he get a pass because he hasn't picked his own coach?

I love all you negative people. NOT. This team is already heading in the right direction. I'm not one that believes Rivera will fail next year. As negative as some of you are I can't help but wonder how you get through a day without commiting suicide.

I'm giving him 3 yrs.

I wanna see a 1st rounder who can make instant impact on this team like a Cam and Luke. I don't want someone that we draft that we'll have to wait and see him on situational plays only. The draft should be taken through carefully. Trading down should be an option and a no brainer.

Fix the cap, cut the aging player with big contracts (Gamble) and restructure the rest. Learn how to bring in FA guys that can be an added piece to this team and not off the street guys. We, Hurney passed up on no brainer guys like Carlos Rogers recently who wouldve fill a needy position. I dnt want to see anymore of that bullshit.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
