Re: Marty Hurney Thread
And he did that in how many years? 14? Kyle has done that in 3 years.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
I see this as a good thing, Ron is thinking first and foremost about organizational structure. He's looking for someone experienced who will see the big picture, and the 2nd banana he's looking at (like a Ryan Cowden, etc.) is somebody who will oversee the scouts and put together the draft board.
Will be interesting to see who he gets to be that 2nd banana. I'm not sure a Ryan Cowden would move from his current spot in Tennessee if it's not for a lead dog type role. Maybe it's still Kyle, who knows. But either way, Ron is realizing he needs a hierarchy in place. He needs someone who can help him make deals; negotiate on behalf of the organization for both player contracts and trades, and put together the big picture for roster building. And he needs someone to report in to that guy who will put together the draft board and do all the work required to have a strong draft. The preparation for the draft is a job where the horizon is always one year out, and it's too much work to think any differently than that. But the GM needs to be looking 3, maybe 5 years down the road. He can't be bogged down in the draft prep. In a year where a big QB trade may be the most important decision we make, I don't want an inexperienced draft guru doing the negotiating. I look at this as another step we're taking towards becoming a grown-up organization.

I can't help thinking that if RR had no faith at all in Smith to step up to GM, he'd have let him go after we lost to the Buccs. I'd say he wants him to be mentored into it. |

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
Overwhelmingly, QBs drafted in the third round or later are "misses." I don't think you can judge his work by that nugget.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
An old Panthers retread.
![]() Oh well. Hopefully KS stays, but if I was betting money, I think he's gone. Rivera is getting to build the franchise his way. We have already seen improvements, so I'll be patient with the move and optimistic he has a successful plan in place.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
You'd be hard pressed to find any team, or any company in general, that doesn't prioritize relationships when hiring.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
Marty Hurney was fired twice by the Panthers.
Really wish we got one of the young guys from the Chargers or the Titans

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
I dont think Ron trusts young guys ... but then he trusted 38 year old, never been an OC, to be his OC on a new team with roster limitations on offense.
Hurney has some good consistent drafts, read the knock on him is he isnt good with the cap and gives friendly contracts to homegrown guys. Only thing I do know is the buck stops with Ron. I think clearly he is the leader and alone atop the organizational chart. |
