Re: Marty Hurney Thread
#49ers VP of Player Personnel Martin Mayhew is headed to the Washington Football Team as a high-ranking executive with a title to be determined, source said. He’ll work with coach Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney as WFT restructures its organization.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
I like it, the more capable minds in the front office the better.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
This front office didn't even have a sous chef before. We've had one of the most bare bones operations for years now.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
Mayhew wasn’t great with the Lions. Like him as a player, not sold on him as a personnel man. Time will tell, maybe someone can ease my mind with some good examples but I’m not getting fuzzies..

He took over an 0-16 Lions team, and within 3 years they won 10 games. He wasn't awful.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
Ridiculous. We were so understaffed last year, it's crazy. If you wanted to offer Washington a trade, who did you call?
Kyle was busy scouting. Ron was busy coaching. We need more smart people in this area. After all this time not having a proper structure for this, I cannot fathom complaining about having too many cooks in the kitchen.

Ron has said he wanted to beef up the front office, moves like these definitely takes work off his plate. |

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
I mean he's worked in two other places since Detroit, including SF when they went to the SB last year.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
I like the enhanced structure. Liking the people put into the structure is TBD. Might as well think positive about it, because it is what it is.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
true, we will see in the results. Just hope Kyle, Hurney and Stokes work together in the personnel and saturation the team with talent. Taking items off Ron plate is a positive

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
This is a big reason why I'm not stressing about this. Ron and the FO staff not only need to be on the same page in regards to their scouting eyes, Ron needs help. I trust the process even if I'm not sold on the hires.

Re: Marty Hurney Thread
Per this link, Mayhew's focus was primarily on the pro-side of scouting.
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49...n-front-office Hurney - GM Mayhew - VP of Pro Personel/Scouting Smith - VP of College Scouting That would be pretty sweet.

Let's be real guys. Given his connections around the league, especially to the coaching staffs of the Rams and 49ers, it's very realistic Smith is out. I only say this because it's easier to accept when you know it's coming, even if you disagree with it.
