Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson announced Monday that general manager Marty Hurney has been relieved of his duties. Hurney had been general manager of the Panthers since 2002.
"This was an extremely difficult decision," Richardson said in a team statement. "Marty made every effort to bring success to the Panthers and took the team to a Super Bowl and two NFC championship games. Unfortunately, we have not enjoyed the success we hoped for in recent years. I have the greatest respect and admiration for Marty and will always appreciate the way he tirelessly served the organization."
Hurney was the team's general manager when the Panthers went to the 2003 Super Bowl.
"I am very fortunate to have been a part of one of the best organizations in the NFL since 1998," Hurney said.
"As General Manager I will always regret not helping us win the Super Bowl or having back-to-back winning seasons. I hope this change starts accomplishing the direction to those goals. I understand this decision by Mr. Richardson and will always have an extremely close relationship with him. I consider him the best owner in the NFL. I am responsible for everybody in coaching, the players, the scouts and everybody in football operations. After six weeks, we are 1-5 coming off a 6-10 season."

And giving 2 RBs over 50 Million combined. And Armati Edwards. -
QB Cam Newton got to the stadium shortly after noon. When asked for his reaction to the news, Newton shook his head, looked straight ahead, whistled softly and continued walking.

Great firing...I wonder who they're gonna look to replace him, hopefully whoever it is trades Deangelo Williams. That offense is atrocious, they shoulda traded Steve Smith this past offseason for a draft pick and they need to finally try and get a playmaking WR to help Cam.
Then they can focus on everything else, I think the defense is improving so the offense has to be the first priority -
so basically, cam runs the team

Cam's Sweater stay winning.
