Thats the problem, you can't be informative with any of this as no one knows...that includes anyone on social media: Report: Broncos interview with Sean Payton delayed because of a visit with the Arizona Cardinals (msn.com)

Right, because he still doesn't have a job and continues to interview. To me that doesn't sound like someone that isn't all in, sounds like a reasonable person in any job search, you hope for one or two but don't put all your eggs in any. Right, he can, but the drawn out part makes no sense when Payton is the one drawing it out, what does the length of the process of to do with anything when all jobs are still open and as I said, if no team checks all the boxes right now, why even waste the time? I don't think Payton wants nor needs to do that.

That could be true but it doesn't make that tweet any less stupid. "I think" that he wouldn't be agreeing to more interviews, drawing the process out, if he wasn't coming back this year. He would just say, na not interested in any job available right now and enjoy is TV gig but "I'm not sure"

What a stupid thing to say. What if Carolina doesn't want him, should he just choose not to coach. Hey Mike Kaye, if you don't get that one job please make sure you don't interview for any others

Sometimes you just throw sh-t at the wall and hope it sticks

Right, thats what I've seen. Seems odd

Thats why I'm wondering if he is even involved in the first interview or is it just the Teppers

lol I don't have Twitter. I don't have any social media accounts, I have bing, start your day news widget

One thing I'm curious on because I haven't seen it posted anywhere but is Fritter in on this interview? All I've heard about is David and Nichole

They could have a chance at either one of those without us. We can't let what ifs stop us from doing what what it takes for us to be better. Starts with a coach

I certainly can't answer this for sure but, Drew Brees had one good year before getting hurt and walking away from Chargers, granted he was young and showed a lot of promise but people say Payton had a hall of fame QB that made him look good, could be the other way around. Brees had a hall of fame coach that knew how to put his undersized, weak arms QB in the best possible position to win. With that said, maybe he can.

We pick 9th, the best we are going to do is a developmental QB with a high ceiling, so, the best they could possibly so is the same. More than likely, we would end trading something low to get Carr. I would argue they have a coach who no one in their right mind would say is in the same stratosphere as Payton. Again, in this scenario, we win

Not a Payton person, don't really care if its him but also wouldn't throw myself off of a bridge if we do hire him like others seem. But you could play devil's advocate with this comment. Perhaps we are using them to rebuild? We are a competent coach and a couple of players away from dominating the south for years. With the current players, if we had an above average coach we could have started that dynasty...this year!

Anyone have confirmation that Payton and Tepper are meeting today and if so, a time? Only thing I've seen is "tentative to meet today"

True but his interview with Denver was what...Monday. There would be more to the story by now besides Russel needs fixing and he liked what he heard. From my understanding before permission was even granted to a team the deal with the Saints had to be worked out and agreed upon, if that is true it's just a matter of the Coach accepting the teams offer and everything I've read so far says Denver ownership has openned the checkbook to Payton

If Payton wanted the Denver job he would already have it. Instead he has agreed to a tentative rescheduled interview date of Monday. Don’t know if he gets the job or not but he at least thinks highly enough of the team to hold off on anything else until he gets his chance to talk to Tepper. That’s how I see it right now, could change

As in a place elites go to secret?

Speaking of this, any of you Charlotte natives ever heard of a place called bellyachers (guessing on the spelling). Tried to google it and only found one in Denver.

Since day 1 and you?

Why is it starting to feel like that? Has any other team looking for a head coach hired one yet? I'm glad they are taking their time and "hoping" to get it right this time. The only people off the table right now are coaches that took themselves off the table for all teams

And Matt Rhule was and up and comer...that's the point. There are no guarantees either way

I think that is what you are missing, Payton doesn't have to be as good here as he was in New Orleans...if he is half as good as he was, he would still be better than anything we have every had. Not to mention he is a proven commodity vs an unknown up and comer. What gives you the confidence that we wouldn't continue to be a middle of the pack team with any of the other coaches mentioned during this search cycle? Is there one you believe guarantees we will be an above average team? Which by the way, I was all for Johnson but I'm not going to let my hopes and dreams of the next Sean McVay get in the way of see what is directly in front of me.

I guess you have to ask yourself, how many years of mediocrity have we already endured to have nothing to show for it at all. Payton isn't my first choice but I certainly wouldn't be upset with it. He has proven to be a much better coach than we have ever had here; like the person or not, respect his resume

I normally agree with your post but with this one I cannot. I wouldn't say 15 years with one team, a successful 15 years that is, is the type of coach that wants to get in get his ring and get out. Character, at this point I really could care less about their character, I want to care about Carolina Panther football again and for me that means winning.
