Mr. Scot

Interesting note... Wonder if he'd interview here. At the very least, it'd complete the Rooney Rule compliance. He's been well spoken of on here before, but post-Rhule it's tough to imagine a college coach being a popular choice.

Glazer said Payton wasn't interested.

Haven't looked at everything, but near as I can tell he doesn't have any connection to our other candidates.

Between competition for his services and us not having a head coach yet, it's pretty tough to imagine us getting him.

He followed Saleh to New York from the 49ers. Now they're "mutually parting ways". Gotta imagine there's a story there. My first thought would be to wonder whether he joins his brother in Green Bay.

Wonder if we're among them...

How long are these interviews?

Everybody does.

That's his dad's influence. People always said Papa Mike could turn anyone into a thousand yard rusher.

Looked him up and he does have a connection. He worked with ST coach Chris Tabor in Cleveland.

Well, I know one who isn't

Now it's happening...

Yeah, that was a "no sh-t" kind of answer

From Albert Breer's latest mailbag... From Greg (@panther1gb89): Gut feeling today...who does Tepper hire in Carolina? Greg, I think it’ll either be defensive coordinator Steve Wilks or a young offensive coach (which is where owner David Tepper was focusing his research after firing Matt Rhule in October). And which way this goes rides on how the process goes. My belief is that Tepper knows the sentiment in the building and will take it into account, with the locker room solidly behind Wilks, and Wilks being as respected as can be in the organization as a whole and with the fan base. He’s from the area, went 6–6 with a team that looked hopeless at 1–4, and built an identity on the fly, re-emphasizing fundamentals in-season and putting together an overpowering run game. All that happened, by the way, with the team having dealt away its best player [Christian McCaffrey]. So I think this is Tepper fighting his best-laid plans against a feeling that Wilks is probably the right guy to hire. And so it’d seem that Wilks’s plan to build on what he accomplished over the past three months, and in particular what he’ll do on offense (I’ve mentioned Philly’s Brian Johnson as a potential coordinator candidate) will be key, if Wilks is going to convince Tepper not to go with Johnson, Dorsey or Steichen.

So would I...

Even if he is, I might like to see Mays in the starting spot.

Pretty much I did try and tell her I had nothing to do with it, but...

I kinda like Christensen in that role.

Depends on your definition of "comeback". Smith wasn't injured.

The article is behind a paywall but it's a valid question. What kind of role might Mays be playing next season (especially with the injuries to Christensen and Corbett)?
