The Carolina Panthers have named Marty Hurney their general manager.

Hurney has been serving as interim general manager following the firing of Dave Gettleman last season.

“We are very fortunate to have Marty as our general manager after he did an exceptional job in the interim role this past season,” Panthers COO Tina Becker said in a statement. “Marty’s guidance and vision helped build the foundation for this team, and his work this season was instrumental in returning the team to the playoffs. We believe he will continue to craft a roster that will win games and contend for a championship.”

The Panthers are in the process of being sold, which makes Hurney's long-term job prospects uncertain.

Hurney was previously general manager of the Panthers for 10 years until 2012.
