Marty wasn't the reason we are losing! That's bs! Unbelievable! Marty might be the realist GM that I know #InMyMind BS BS BS BS!charles johnsonHow many pro bowler have Marty drafted since he been here? Plenty! #saynomorecharles johnsonDeAngelo Williams politely declined comment when asked about Hurney couple of minutes ago.Joe PersonRunning back Jonathan Stewart, meanwhile, was speechless, I guess.
.....Jonathan StewartFox Sports reporter Jay Glazer weighed in as well with his thoughts.
Have to say I really don't get the firing of GM Marty Hurney at this time. I understand they've been disappointing but timing to me is oddJay GlazerI totally get firing a GM after the season not sure I get it during the yearJay GlazerHurney isn't responsible for all the weekly drama w CamJay GlazerAgain I understand why people would want them making this move I just don't understand the timing.Jay GlazerThe Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler was quick to weigh in as well.
It was time for Panthers GM Marty Hurney to go -- and if I were Rivera I would be nervous. More thoughts: http://scottfowlerobs.blogspot.com/2012/10/it-was-time-for-hurney-to-go.htmlscott_fowlerNuts and bolts looking ahead? Look no further than the tweets from Pro Football Talk's Darin Gantt.
To the many questions, I would say, in short, that whoever takes over the football ops will clean house when they get here. How it works.Darin GanttI'd say it's unlikely the Panthers would hire a coach-GM because it's flopped twice already. But Richardson's health a wild card here.Darin GanttThe things you have always been able to assume about the Panthers organization were thrown out the window this morning. No map now.Darin GanttGood question. RT @JonAshDaniels: What happened between RR & Hurney? Absolutely no coordination between talent/style of play. Why was that?Darin GanttThe speculation has already begun--was Cam Newton behind the firing on Hurney?
One day after Cam Newton called for changes to be made, the Panthers have fired their GM http://sbn.to/PlBRCdSB NationAdam Caplan provided some great insight, too.
Just texted a GM with the Hurney news: "Sorry to hear that. But u can't pay 2 RBs and not run the ball. Something wasn't right there."Adam CaplanThe coaching staff clearly is not safe now that Hurney is gone no matter what Richardson might say in the future.Adam CaplanPanthers did not announce who is going to take over for now. Brandon Beane is the highest ranking official left (director of football ops).Adam CaplanRick Reilly offered his two cents, of course.
Hey, Cam Newton, cheer up. At least you're not Panthers GM Marty Hurney. He just got fired.Rick Reilly
