CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 The Carolina Panthers fired general<\/a> manager Marty Hurney on Monday after the team lost eight of its last nine game<\/a>s and failed to make the playoffs for a third straight season.<\/p>\n

Hurney\u2019s contract was set to expire after the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI notified Marty that we would not be extending his contract beyond the 2020 season,\u201d Panthers owner David Tepper said. \u201cThis was a difficult decision. Marty has been a valuable member of our franchise and there is no way to convey my level of respect for him. We sincerely app<\/a>reciate his hard work over 19 seasons and wish him well moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team will begin its process of finding a replacement GM immedia<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n

That had been Hurney\u2019s second stint with the Panthers. He served as the general manager from 2002-12 and again from 2017-20.<\/p>\n

The Panthers made four playoff appearances under Hurney, won two division titles and played in one NFC Championship, resulting in a trip<\/a> to Super Bowl in 2003. The Panthers made a second trip to the Super Bowl in 2005 under Dave Gettleman.<\/p>\n

Hurney was responsible for drafting players like quarterback Cam Newton in 2011 and linebacker Luke Kuechly in 2012. The two players each won NFL Rookie of the Year, making Carolina just the fourth team to have consecutive offensive or defensive rookies of the year since The Associated Press started presenting the awards in 1967.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Dave and Nicole for the opportunity to be a part of this organization over the last three seasons,\u201d Hurney said in a statement. \u201cI have a great relationship with Matt and everybody in the building. I believe this team is well-positioned for the future and wish Matt, the players and the entire organization all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hurney first joined the Panthers in 1998, serving as director of football administration and then director of football operations from 1999-2001 before raising to become GM in 2002.<\/p>\n

According to the team\u2019s website, Tepper said after recent conversations with Hurney about the structure of the team\u2019s football operations, it became clear they had different ideas. Tepper said he wants to blend more of a data-driven process into the football operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think sometimes you just need a restart, a refresh,\u201d Tepper said. \u201cWe did it last year on the coaching side. Maybe you could say it should have been done before on the GM side. Maybe it should have been. I\u2019m sure people may say that, or otherwise, on both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just time, on both sides, to do that. It just seems like the right time to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panthers first-year coach Matt Rhule will have a role in finding a new general manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at successful organizations, and there\u2019s a certain alignment between the head coach and the GM,\u201d Tepper said. \u201cTo think that you can do that without some sort of alignment is nuts. So to not have a head coach with some input into that is stupid. I don\u2019t want to be stupid, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Panthers are 4-10 this season after starting 3-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis team could easily have another four wins,\u201d Tepper said. \u201cThe eight games that we had the ball last to win or tie \u2014 seven to win, one to tie \u2014 if you win four of those games, you\u2019re in a totally different position right now with this young team. So looking at next year, I\u2019m very hopeful where we will be and what we will do.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
