It was announced this morning that the Carolina Panthers’ owner David Tepper has fired the franchise’s General Manager, Marty Hurney.
Here’s a bit of detail from an article on the team’s website, Panthers.com, announcing the move:
Panthers owner David Tepper said that after recent conversations with Hurney about the structure of the team’s football operations, it became clear they had some different ideas. Tepper was careful to say he respected Hurney’s traditional approach but hopes to blend more of a data-driven process into the football operation.
