Panthers not currently expected to host 49ers’ DeMeco Ryans for interview The Carolina Panthers are among four teams that have requested permission to interview San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans for a head coaching job. In fact, the only team with a coaching vacancy that has not put in a request is the Indianapolis Colts. Interestingly, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers do not currently intend to host Ryans for an interview. Assistant coaches on NFL teams playing this weekend can be interviewed starting on Tuesday. Assistant coaches on the two teams playing on Monday night must wait until Wednesday. https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/165814-panthers-currently-expected-host-49ers-demeco-ryans-interview/

SEAN MCVAYHC, LOS ANGELES RAMS ESPN's Dianna Russini reports, "Sean McVay informed members of the Rams organization that he will be staying on as the head coach." McVay took some time off to mull retirement after the Rams' season ended and even gave his coaches free reign to look for new jobs. Ultimately, he will stay on board and try to recapture the team's Super Bowl magic from a year ago. The 2022 season was a brutal one for LA. Three of their five highest-paid players saw their seasons end early because of injuries. Beyond that, their depth at receiver and offensive line was pushed to breaking points because of additional injuries. The Rams ended the year at 5-12, winning two of their final 11 games. With no first-round pick and limited cap space to work with, McVay will need to work overtime to get his team back to the postseason. However, if injury luck breaks their way in 2023, the Rams will still be a strong contender in the NFC.

ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler: “As the logic goes, the Panthers knew they had [Steve] Wilks as a prime candidate with a defensive background, so they went heavy on offense with the rest of the pool,” Fowler writes. “Wilks has a solid offensive staff to sell David Tepper, to be sure. But multiple people I’ve spoken to around the league think the young coordinators have their advantages for a QB-starved franchise. Frank Reich is interviewing for the head-coaching job but could end up a strong coordinator candidate.”

SCOTT TURNERC, WASHINGTON COMMANDERS Commanders fired OC Scott Turner. Turner's offense finished 28th in offensive DVOA in 2022. He again was weighted down with a bad quarterback in Carson Wentz, one that forced the Commanders to turn to Taylor Heinicke yet again. Turner's offensive philosophy is not a bad one and he finally had enough wideouts to stress the defense this past season. He could resurface elsewhere in the NFL as an OC soon enough, but someone had to fall on the sword for this offense after three years without an empirical breakthrough.

btw remember Keith Taylor? he played 1 snap on Sunday

Played 34 total snaps pretty impressive If we don't re-sign Bozeman and decide to cut Elflein Cade Mays could be an option at C next season
