Carolina Panthers name Marty Hurney general manager
The Carolina Panthers made the move that many have been anticipating since the beginning of last season, and finally officially named Marty Hurney as general manager. I can see the surprised look on all of your faces from here.
Hurney rejoins the team formally as general manager after a previous ten year stint that lasted from 2002-2012, which ended as he fell out of favor with fans and ownership due to poor handling of the salary cap and several draft blunders. The Panthers decided it best to err on the side of familiarity last season when they abruptly fired Dave Gettleman just as preseason was ramping up, and needed someone who could step in right away and know generally what he is doing.
