Report: Panthers expected to name Hurney interim GM for 2017

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is set to meet with Marty Hurney on Tuesday to discuss Hurney taking over as general manager on an interim basis, a league source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Hurney is expected to be given the role "if all goes well."

While nothing is finalized, the plan would reportedly be for Hurney - who was the Panthers' GM from 2002-12 - to run the team for 2017 while full-time candidates are vetted, adds Pellissero.

The Panthers fired David Gettleman on Monday after four successful years with the team, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2015.
