Man Chatfield has really stepped his game up.!

Just think team we have about 3 more days of interviews. I wouldn’t mind having a look at Brian Callahan as well, at least he has 4 years of experience and not just the 1 or 2 that Shane Steichen or Mike Kafka have as a coordinator. Who knows how this will end.

That is what the media wants. Unless Payton doesn’t board the plane, Tepper will have an opportunity to hear Payton’s plain to fix this team. Everything is conjecture, unless it is reported that he will not meet Tepper. Furthermore, it is in Payton’s own best interest to meet the Panthers in order to create competition for his services.

Same, may as well keep Wilks and try again in a year or two. It is the best option.

By “safe” I mean no 2-3 learning curve on how to manage the clock, down and distance, the locker room, etc. By “safe” I mean a candidate that has experience. Is he exciting, no, will he put asses in seats, no.

Because just like us, he is a safe hire, that more than likely will not excite their fan base. I believe Wilks can be very successful, but not exciting. The goal for the panthers is not just winning, but get the fans back in the stadium. Management may think the only way to do that is a big hire. This is as much about selling PSL’s as it is about securing wins.

Wow that is some serious conjecture. Tepper isn’t a joke, quite the contrary. He is however learning on the job. Rhule did fleece Tepper, but Stafford made the right decision for Stafford and it wasn’t disrespectful. I’m thankful everyday we did not land Watson. I think the Panthers have a chance with Payton, but in the end it comes down to where Payton wants to go. Inside word is that the broncos did not even discuss compensation during their interview, let’s see if Tepper can make the right pitch about the organization, community, and where the team wants to go. Otherwise, it is back to another rookie head coach and another 2-3 year learning curve.

The broncos have been chirping all afternoon that they have him in the bag. I call BS, but one never knows.

Which is why I believe we might have been instructed to interview him, since Tepper and new management are unfamiliar with Fangio.

Boy that would be shitty. Hire a young coach and not let him pick his staff. Stranger things have happened. I think Fangio was brought in for Payton exclusively.

I believe the last line is the motivating factor, regardless of what is said publicly. These guys have egos and I am positive Payton would want to prove his previous employer wrong.

I understand that, but when was the last time Payton had a full draft to work with, and how have most of Payton’s picked turned out? He is great at making chicken salad out of chicken poo.

92.67% Payton, 3.1% Reich, 4.23% Other. Understand, Payton is the broncos number 1 option. They think Payton is coming here, it could all be BS, but all signs are pointing Payton to us.

They would have to eat it, and you know they would not, so we would have to help pay some of it.

Have you seen his contact? It is insane, 99 million in dead cap space.

Yep I think we are all getting those vibes. However, this is the Panthers and things can change in a flash, ask Ben Johnson.

He very well could be a coach one day.

Actually, I would take Fangio over Quinn and that appears to be in the bag.

I’m not. Morality over legitimacy. I honestly commend them, but it won’t matter. 92.67% chance Payton is our next coach. Way, way, way too many signs pointing in that direction. It started when Payton was packing his bags, and he told Tepper they can’t talk right now, that’s was in October.

I’m sure a QB would want to come to Carolina and play for a Super Bowl.

I’ll be honest. If we get Payton, we will get a QB and it could even be Brady.

Whine and cheese crowd, looks like they will drop the cheese, and just be whine.

yep just stating that the article makes it look like it is a simple formality at this point.

Looks like the Broncos think they will lock up Payton today in LA. They expect to give him everything that he wants to make it happen, possibly today. Please note, Walmart has more money than Tepper, not that it would get that ridiculous. https://www.milehighreport.com/platform/amp/2023/1/17/23558475/sean-payton-rumors-broncos-to-interview-in-los-angeles
