Mr. Scot

I still don't want Payton.

Could be wrong, but something seems weird. This isn't popping in my feed and nobody else seems to have it. It's legitimately on Pelissero's Twitter though.

Gotta wonder what happened there.

Damn.

Former Panthers scout / VP of Player Personnel / acting GM Ryan Cowden gets passed over. Wonder If he'd return here in some capacity.

Especially after he said he wouldn't, but hey...

That already happened. We were the ones that did it.

It isn't.

In a similar vein from The 33rd Team, original Panthers GM Bill Polian talks about the head coaching interview process Quote that caught my attention from the article... The combination of the Rooney Rule requirements and the high turnover rate among head coaches every year usually results in a high number (10 or so) of initial interviewees. If, however, you have more than five finalists, including the Rooney Rule candidates, you probably have not done a good enough job in the initial screening process. To quote coach Marv Levy, “If you have too many, you don’t have any.”

What do you mean?

It's tomorrow

It's not so much a question to me of what if they'd have gone their separate ways. It's more a point of what they did, they did together. Are you positive you count on one or the other of them being able to do it on their own? I'm not.

Word is he offered to pay them Tuesday for a hamburger today but then didn't follow through...

If we get it right...

Meanwhile in Washington... Rivera had the chance to hire Shurmur in Carolina but went with Mike Shula instead.

Interesting note from San Fran...

CSL profiles Ben Johnson

But not Staley...

Yeah, that's fake.

Not sure what you mean

Looks like it's happening... Insert line about how the mighty have fallen here...

Meanwhile...

This hiring cycle isn't seeing a lot of love for defensive coaches. There are a few, but most of the interviews seem to be going to offensive guys.
