Marty Hurney is no longer the general manager of the Carolina
Panthers, a team that started the season with plenty of promise
but fell to 1-5 with a 19-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on
Sunday.
Owner Jerry Richardson announced the firing of Hurney on Monday.
"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.... 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."
A former sports journalist, Hurney started with the Panthers as
salary cap manager in 1998 and was promoted to general manager
in 2002. Before the 2003 season he signed free-agent quarterback
Jake Delhomme, who helped Carolina compile an 11-5 record and
advance to the Super Bowl that season.
The Panthers have had some up and down years since then. They
haven't had a winning season since 2008, but appeared to be on
the upswing after last year's 6-10 effort that included some
spectacular performances from then-rookie quarterback Cam
Newton, whose 17 interceptions were overshadowed by his 35
touchdowns (21 passing, 14 rushing).
Center Ryan Kalil even took out a full-page newspaper ad during
the off-season promising a Super Bowl victory this season. That
appears highly unlikely right now, with the team's dismal record
and Newton in somewhat of a sophomore slump (five passing
touchdowns, six interceptions and three rushing touchdowns).
Hurney claimed responsibility for the Panthers' disappointing
season in the team's statement Monday.
“I am responsible for everybody in coaching, the players, the
scouts and everybody in football operations," he said. "After
six weeks, we are 1-5 coming off a 6-10 season.”

No Marty, that poison spewing black punk you drafted for a
quarterback is responsible. Some positions just weren't meant
to be filled by over-promoted inferior black turds.
