- 57-27 record in 7 years as head coach at the University of San Diego and at Stanford.
- Played quarterback for the Panthers in 2001. Marty Hurney worked with the Panthers as a salary cap specialist from 1998-2001 before becoming general manager.
Mike Tice - Chicago Bears Offensive Line Coach

- Played tight end for the Washington Redskins in 1989, which was Hurney's last year working for the Redskins.
Jack Del Rio - Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach
- 65-62 record going into the last regular season game of his 8th year with the Jaguars.
- Defensive coordinator for the Panthers in 2002, which was Marty Hurney's first year as GM.
