As candidates wait, how long can Panthers pause in general manager search?
What promised to be an unsettled offseason for the Carolina Panthers is off to a chaotic start.
The Panthers placed interim general manager Marty Hurney on leave and the NFL began an investigation this week after Hurney’s ex-wife, Jeanne Hurney, accused him of harassment in a request for a temporary protective order.
Jeanne Hurney has withdrawn the complaint but the NFL is continuing with its investigation, leaving Hurney in limbo – not to mention the three external candidates who interviewed for the full-time GM position last week.
CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora tweeted that a decision on a new GM “could happen quickly” and advised readers to “expect an outside candidate.”
