The Carolina Panthers announced Monday morning that general manager Marty Hurney has been relieved of his duties.
The decision came with Carolina off to a 1-5 start, despite having one of the leagues higher payrolls.
“This was an extremely difficult decision,” team owner Jerry Richardson said in a statement released by the team. “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 joined the teams personnel department in 1998 and was elevated to general manager in 2002.
