Means a new Head Coach and the cycle starts over unless they let Rivera do what Gary did in Houston Pick his own GM.

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 odd

Hurney isn't responsible for all the weekly drama w Cam

I totally get firing a GM after the season not sure I get it during the year

Ross Tucker ‏@RossTuckerNFL
I'd probably fire a guy that gave over $43M guaranteed to 2 RBs that my team doesn't even use, too

Alex Marvez ‏@alexmarvez
Marty Hurney getting knocked 4 paying so much $$ for RBs. Coaches deserves blame for not using them properly. Moves weren't made in vacuum

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
Again, Hurney timing is unusual ... But results are results -- 9-29 since start of '10; Last winning season: 2008; Last playoff win: 2005.

It was stupid to give 2 RB that type of dollars in today's NFL you give a top flight guy some money but they need to be extra special and you fill in with solid capable backups

Well one of them they had to keep because he was good (think it was Stewart). There was the other RB that got hurt for the year if I'm not mistaken and they still gave him a new contract while getting Tolbert from the Chargers.

Ross Tucker ‏@RossTuckerNFL
Chance he's next but who hired him? Clearly not on same page. MT: @RaviASheth: And the coach that doesn’t use them?

Alex Marvez ‏@alexmarvez
Trust me: Not saying Hurney spent wisely. But coaches have 2 get more out of RBs on offense. As @pschrags points out, DeAngelo 2 carries?

Firing of Marty Hurney a reflection of Jerry Richardson's sense of mortality http://bit.ly/X1r6p4

After Cam Newton threw the playcaller under the bus yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if more changes weren't in the offing. He "sweethearted" a reporter, too, so I'm sure he getting dogpiled for being sexist today as well.

Wait for it...

[bigdnlaca]

Well didn't he give the RB that huge contract when they could of used that money to help their D?

Edit: Just got my answer above

Just heard it on Mike & Mike while I was in the car.

Probably means Ron Rivera is on his way out too. Personally, I thought Ron Rivera was a poor choice for a head coach. His first move was to draft Cam Newton first overall. That IMO spoke volumes about both Ron and Marty Hurney.

May not have been Ron's call just Like fisher did not want VY but that is who the GM & Owner gave him.

The Carolina Panthers announced Monday morning that general manager Marty Hurney has been relieved of his duties.

The move came a day after a 19-14 loss to Dallas gave Carolina a 1-5 start despite it having one of the league's higher payrolls. The Panthers' record is the worst in the NFC.

A GM gets fired for not producing results?

What kind of business model is this?
